Description

The Bourgeois OMC Style 42 Morning Glory is a masterful embodiment of artistry and craftsmanship, offering an exquisite combination of tonewoods, elegant aesthetics, and unparalleled playability. Designed for discerning players and collectors alike, this guitar stands as a testament to Bourgeois’ renowned attention to detail and commitment to excellence.

At its heart, the guitar features Madagascar Rosewood back and sides, revered for its rich, resonant tonal depth and striking visual character. Paired with an Italian Spruce top, known for its responsiveness, clarity, and shimmering articulation, this instrument achieves a remarkable balance of warmth, power, and definition. Enhanced by Aged Tone torrefied bracing, the guitar delivers vintage-inspired tonal maturity, projecting a voice that is both dynamic and expressive.

The guitar’s OMC (Orchestra Model Cutaway) body shape ensures exceptional versatility, offering superb comfort and access to the upper frets, while its long 25.5” scale lends added sustain and projection. A nut width of 1 3/4” and 2 5/16” bridge spacing provide a familiar and comfortable playing experience, ideal for fingerstyle players and flatpickers alike.

The Style 42 appointments elevate this instrument to a work of art. The body showcases Style 42 abalone purfling around the top, perfectly complemented by ivoroid binding and an extra vintage abalone rosette that enhances its visual sophistication. The details extend to the Madagascar Rosewood endpiece inlay and DB Signature backstrip, hallmarks of thoughtful elegance.

The guitar’s headstock is a focal point of stunning design. Shaped in a square headstock with a diamond volute, it features a Madagascar Rosewood head veneer adorned with the captivating Morning Glory flower inlay—a nod to nature’s delicate beauty. Framed with ivoroid head binding and finished in a high-gloss polish, this detail exudes timeless refinement. The Waverly gold engraved tuners ensure flawless tuning stability while adding a touch of opulence.

Continuing the Morning Glory motif, the 14-fret ebony fretboard is graced with Morning Glory flower inlays, elegantly framed by ivoroid fretboard binding. The theme carries through to the ebony belly bridge, which features a delicate Morning Glory inlay, showcasing Bourgeois’ unparalleled inlay craftsmanship.

The instrument’s premium appointments are completed with an ivoroid heel cap, antique bone pins, and a satin neck finish for smooth playability. The high-gloss body finish provides a stunning luster that accentuates the natural beauty of the tonewoods.

Meticulously assembled with animal protein glue, this guitar benefits from a construction method revered for its tonal integrity and resonance. Each Bourgeois OMC Style 42 Morning Glory is proudly signed with a Signature Label, a mark of authenticity and masterful artistry.

The result is a guitar that combines extraordinary tonal nuance, impeccable playability, and breathtaking beauty. Whether gracing a performance stage, a recording studio, or a treasured collection, the Bourgeois OMC Style 42 Morning Glory is a timeless masterpiece that sings with a voice as elegant as its design.
