Dana Bourgeois "DB Signature OM" Adirondack Spruce/Madagascar Rosewood

Second-hand

Just in - another gorgeous DB Signature OM guitar. This has to be amongst the world's finest Orchestra guitars! A must see for the serious enthusiast. Won't last long!

"We started this model as a Dreadnought and then had a request for it in an OM shape. It has since become a very popular model. In appearance it is subtle, elegant and refined in tone it is everything and more that you can get from a Dana Bourgeois OM. For the DB Signature model, designed a new rosette and herringbone purfling to compliment his earlier design of the Dana Bourgeois backstrip. He also decided to pick his top and back woods primarily for tone. The Adirondack and Madagascar Rosewood he chose for his DB Signature Woods may not be the most pristine examples of those species - but we can guarantee that they are some of the best sounding.

Here's what Dana says about his experience with Madagascar : "Madagascar rosewood will probably get you closest to the sound of Brazilian, and at a much lower price. Madagascar has much of the same rich overtone range as Brazilian, as well as a slightly "reverby" quality. It's a little heavier than Brazilian, so I have to be careful about selecting the right top and the right neck in order to keep the weight down and not adversly effect its response characteristics. " Since Dana himself still picks every top, back and side for each guitar we build, this isn't a problem for us.

This guitar features "Signature" Adirondack and "Signature" Madagascar RW. The traditional Squares & Diamonds inlay are made unique by cutting them from Certified Fossil Ivory. With finely flamed Curly Koa body binding, Gold Waverly tuners, Bone pins and a premium pickguard you will be hard pressed to find more value and beauty in a single guitar."
