Description

The Bourgeois OM Style 42 Deluxe - Koa is a pinnacle of luthiery, a masterpiece that seamlessly marries artistry with acoustic excellence. Featuring a top, back, and sides crafted from flitch-matched Master Grade Koa, its visual allure is matched only by its tonal brilliance—rich, vibrant, and uniquely resonant. The Aged Tone torrefied Adirondack spruce bracing enhances warmth and projection, delivering a voice that is both powerful and nuanced.

Every detail exudes refinement: the extra vintage abalone rosette and Style 42 abalone top purfling create a shimmering frame for the instrument’s exquisite tonewoods, while English holly bindings accentuate the body, fingerboard, and headstock with understated elegance. The koa head veneer and petite vine inlays—delicately adorning both the fretboard and headstock—speak to the care and craftsmanship invested in this instrument. The DB Signature backstrip and floating box endpiece inlay further elevate its visual harmony.

Equipped with a 14-fret ebony fretboard, English holly pyramid bridge, and Waverly gold-engraved tuners, this guitar offers a tactile playing experience that is as luxurious as its aesthetic. The satin neck finish ensures effortless playability, while the aged tone high-gloss body finish enhances both durability and beauty. With its long scale length of 25.5", a nut width of 1 3/4", and bridge spacing of 2 5/16", it provides optimal comfort and response for a variety of playing styles. At just 4 lbs 5 oz, this guitar embodies perfect balance and ergonomic design.

Handcrafted with animal protein glue and adorned with antique bone pins, this heirloom-quality instrument is a testament to Bourgeois's dedication to tradition and innovation. Whether admired as an object of beauty or cherished as a musical companion, the OM Style 42 Deluxe - Koa is a true expression of artistry and excellence.
