The Bourgeois The Odyssey 00-12c Coupe is a breathtaking testament to the art of acoustic guitar making, embodying the rich legacy of master luthier Dana Bourgeois. Known for his meticulous approach to voicing and his profound understanding of tonewoods, Bourgeois's influence is evident in every detail of this instrument. His "Aged Tone" philosophy, a process of thermal curing or "torrefaction" that simulates decades of natural aging, is at the heart of this guitar's exceptional sound. This process gives the Aged Tone Italian Spruce top and the Aged Tone Adirondack Spruce torrefied bracing a rich, open, and played-in quality right out of the case. Dana Bourgeois's commitment to building guitars that are not just instruments but musical partners has made Bourgeois Guitars a benchmark for quality and tone.
This particular model also shines a light on the next generation of luthiers at Bourgeois, including James Witkus. Recently elevated to the role of Master Luthier, Witkus represents the future of the brand. His background, steeped in the Bourgeois tradition, has prepared him to carry Dana's torch forward. Witkus brings a fresh perspective to the company while maintaining the core principles of craftsmanship and tone that have defined Bourgeois for decades. The Odyssey 00-12c Coupe is a showcase of this transition, combining time-honored techniques with a modern aesthetic that is both stunning and functional.
The guitar's visual and tonal elegance is further defined by its premium materials and appointments. The Madagascar Rosewood back and sides are a coveted tonewood, offering a complex and resonant voice with rich overtones and deep bass response. This is complemented by the warm, articulate nature of the Italian Spruce top. The Ziricote body, fingerboard, and headstock bindings, along with the Ziricote bevel, create a seamless, sophisticated look. The Ziricote backstrip, tail wedge, and heel cap further enhance this unified design. The guitar features a Ziricote offset rings rosette and a Soloist Style top border, distinguishing it as a unique and artful creation. With its short scale length of 25 inches and 1 3/4" nut width, the Odyssey 00-12c Coupe is a joy to play, offering a comfortable and responsive feel that is perfect for fingerstyle players and strummers alike. The Aged Tone high gloss body finish and satin lacquer neck finish provide both beauty and a smooth playing experience, while gold Waverly tuners with snakewood buttons ensure precise tuning and a touch of class. This instrument is not just a guitar; it's a legacy piece, representing the pinnacle of lutherie and a bright future for the Bourgeois brand.
