Bourgeois OM Country Boy Short Scale 2012

Guitars builders of the caliber of Dana Bourgeois build many different body shapes extremely well. Some have a particular affinity or expertise with one body shape. For Dana that shape is the OM. Many finger-stylists like the OM for recording because of the inherent balance between the treble and bass tones created by the body shape and bracing found in the OM shape. This guitar features the following upgrades:

Short Scale
Satin Finish Headstock
Ebony Pins
Top: Eastern Red "Adirondack" Spruce
Back & Sides: Mahogany
Rosette: Wood
Body Binding: Tortoise Shell
Nut Width: 1 3/4
Bridge: Ebony Belly with 2 5/16 Spacing
Scale: Short
Backstrip: Black Line
Head Veneer: Zircote
Head Binding: None
Freatboard: Short Scale 14 fret Ebony
Fretboard: Tiny MOP dots
Fretboard Binding: Black
Tuners: Nickel Waverly

I like it.

 

[GergS]

I'd hit it

 

[Elias Graves]

Would!

 

[Coralkong]

Supposedly very good guitars for finger-picking.......they sure are pricey, though.

Not really my thing, but I bet it plays nice.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

It looks nice, but I just don't care for small guitars.

 

[Punchy]

Cool

I think at this point there should be GPOD for the Acoustic Cafe. I might hang out there more if there were.

 

[Stratguy]

I'm actually preferring dreadnaughts right now, and the neck looks pretty hefty. The only thing I could say is that I wouldn't mind trying it out, but I'd be sceptical about wanting it, so it would really have to wow me.

 

[Packerbacker]

I'd hit it

 

[Tig]

I'd really enjoy that.
No more dreadnaughts for me.

 

[Chad]

I wonder what they consider short scale. If that thing is 24", I am onboard.

 

[Denverdave]

Ooooooo....

Love love LOVE the neck joint...

 

[Guitar Heel]

It's an acoustic guitar alright.

Isn't it already?

25"

 

[Chad]

25"

I hate when they do that. Short scale is 24" and under.

Not on acoustics. It all goes back to a Martin vs. Gibson thing.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

It looks nice, but I'd have to try it out. I'm not normally a fan of shorter scaled acoustics, and smaller bodied acoustics often don't sound to good with my playing style.
