2025 - Bourgeois OMS-12 Deep Body Hog Top - Figured Mahogany #10927

Description The Bourgeois OMS-12 Deep Body Hog Top - Figured Mahogany is a masterwork of lutherie that showcases the unparalleled craftsmanship and tonal finesse for which Bourgeois Guitars is renowned. With roots deeply embedded in the tradition of American acoustic guitar making, Bourgeois continues to lead the charge in innovation and tonal refinement under the guidance and legacy of its visionary founder, Dana Bourgeois. Dana’s influence in the acoustic guitar world is profound; as a pioneer of "tap tuning" and a champion of boutique guitar building, his methods and philosophies have helped shape the modern era of acoustic lutherie. Bourgeois guitars are synonymous with balanced tone, immaculate build quality, and a dedication to tonal integrity—and the OMS-12 is a brilliant testament to that legacy. At the heart of this particular model is an exceptionally rare and stunning Figured Mahogany top, matched with Figured Mahogany back and sides, providing a warm, focused midrange with remarkable clarity and projection. The depth and resonance of the deep body design enhance the guitar’s low-end response, making it ideal for fingerstyle players and strummers alike who crave rich tonal complexity and volume without sacrificing articulation. Bracing is critical to the soul of any guitar, and here it’s done with Aged Tone Torrefied Adirondack Spruce, delivering the responsiveness and headroom of well-seasoned wood. This torrefaction process mimics the natural aging of vintage guitars, infusing the OMS-12 with a mature, open voice straight out of the case. The bracing is applied using animal protein glue, further amplifying the transfer of vibrations and contributing to its organic, vintage-inspired tone. Visually, this instrument is as striking as it is sonorous. Tortoise body binding, black/ivoroid/black purfling, and a three-ring ivoroid rosette frame the figured mahogany with elegance and restraint. The black line backstrip adds a subtle, vintage charm, while the beeswing mahogany endpiece inlay serves as a distinctive touch rarely seen on modern instruments. Every aesthetic decision speaks to the care and consideration that go into crafting a Bourgeois. The slotted headstock, topped with a ziricote veneer, features a refined diamond head shape and an ivoroid logo, nodding to traditional prewar stylings while maintaining a contemporary refinement. The ebony fretboard and bridge, accented with ivoroid vintage-style dot inlays and a classic pyramid bridge, offer a tactile and elegant playing experience. Subtle details like the black fingerboard binding and ivoroid tuner buttons on Nickel Waverly tuners complete the visual harmony of the instrument. Measuring at a long scale of 25.5", with a 1 3/4" nut width and 2 5/16" bridge spacing, this guitar offers a comfortable and responsive feel, accommodating both intricate fingerpicking and dynamic strumming with ease. The satin neck and headstock finish provide a silky, fast feel in the hand, while the Aged Tone high gloss finish on the body allows the beauty of the tonewoods to shine through with depth and brilliance. Included in the case is an optional teardrop tortoise pickguard, uninstalled to preserve the clean aesthetic for those who prefer a minimalist look. Weighing in at just 4 lbs 3 oz, this guitar is remarkably lightweight for a deep-bodied 12-fret instrument, a result of Bourgeois’ precise tonewood selection and meticulous construction. It ships with a deluxe hard case and bears Dana’s Signature Label, affirming its place as a singular creation from one of the most respected workshops in the industry. The Bourgeois OMS-12 Deep Body Hog Top is more than an instrument—it is a testament to the enduring artistry of Dana Bourgeois and the legacy of excellence he continues to inspire. This guitar is a celebration of vintage sensibilities fused with modern innovation, offering the discerning player an unparalleled musical companion.
