2004 Bourgeois OM Custom
2004 Bourgeois OM Custom
Along with Collings and Santa Cruz, we consider Bourgeois guitars of Lewiston, Maine one of the "big-three" of the boutique guitar world.
Dana Bourgeois started building guitars in the early 1970's, and along with Eric Schoenberg became big advocates of the OM style guitars, building vintage-inspired, modern versions of the treasured Martin OM-18s and OM-28s built only between 1929 and 1933.
This 2004 OM custom was ordered by our good friends at Dream Guitars, and purchased by the original owner two years later.

This fine OM is perfect for someone looking for a big sound in a smaller, more comfortable package. This guitar is lightweight, responsive, and articulate with tight, clean bass and soaring trebles. It is also in fantastic condition for a 20-year old instrument, with almost non-existent play wear and zero fret wear. Outstanding instrument.
