There are acoustic guitars… and then there are guitars that make grown men stop mid-sentence, stare silently for 45 seconds, and suddenly start explaining Adirondack spruce grain patterns to complete strangers at dinner parties.
This Bourgeois OM-Style 45 is not merely a guitar. It is a fully weaponized display of Dana Bourgeois showing off without technically saying he’s showing off.
The second you open the case, you’re greeted by enough Master Grade Brazilian Rosewood to make a vintage Martin collector clutch his chest and whisper, “sweet mercy…” The back on this thing looks less like wood and more like molten caramel poured over dark chocolate while angels softly play Tony Rice licks in the background.
And then there’s the vine inlay work.
Good grief.
This isn’t fretboard inlay—it’s Renaissance artwork that somehow wandered onto an acoustic guitar. The abalone vine appointments running through the ebony board and Brazilian headstock veneer are so classy they practically raise your credit score by 40 points just for owning it.
Tone? Ridiculous.
The Aged Tone Adirondack spruce top combined with the torrified bracing gives this OM the responsiveness of a guitar that has already lived a full and meaningful life touring smoky studios and songwriter circles… except this one is sitting here in mint condition looking like it just descended from the heavens wrapped in boutique acoustic snobbery.
Fingerpicked? Stunning.
Flatpicked? Cannon.
Cowboy chords? Suddenly you’re writing songs about Montana and emotional growth.
This is the kind of acoustic that makes people play quieter because they instinctively realize they are in the presence of greatness.
Frankly, if you buy this guitar and still play “Wonderwall” at Guitar Center… we can’t help you.

Condition
She was born on August 29th, 2017 and remains in Mint condition and exceptionally clean throughout. No excuses, no drama, no mystery “luthier repairs,” no coffeehouse battle scars from a guy named River wearing a scarf indoors.
Includes the original hard case, spec sheet, and all the case candy.
This is one of those rare guitars where the photos somehow still don’t fully prepare you for how absurdly beautiful it is in person.
If you’ve been searching for a tasteful, understated acoustic… this Bourgeois politely declines to participate in that conversation.
If you’ve been searching for a world-class OM with Master Grade Brazilian, outrageous vine inlay work, and enough boutique acoustic swagger to make your other guitars nervous…
Welcome home.
Whoever brings this baby home is going to be completely STOKED!!
LET’S GO!!
