Bourgeois OMC Soloist - Sinker Redwood & Ziricote
Description
The Bourgeois OMC Soloist with its Sinker Redwood top and Ziricote back and sides is a work of art that transcends traditional guitar craftsmanship, offering a sublime blend of visual beauty and breathtaking tonal character. This instrument is a testament to master luthier Dana Bourgeois' dedication to creating guitars that inspire the soul.
The Sinker Redwood top, harvested from ancient timbers long submerged in rivers, delivers a tone that is both warm and responsive, with a piano-like sustain that lingers in the air. Paired with the striking Ziricote back and sides, renowned for its lush, harmonic overtones and dramatic grain patterns, this guitar produces a voice that is as complex as it is enchanting. The Aged Tone torrefied Adirondack spruce braces ensure exceptional resonance and dynamic range, enhancing the instrument’s ability to respond to the lightest touch or boldest strum.
Aesthetically, the Soloist is as captivating as its sound. The Wood Rings Signature Rosette and Koa binding on the body, fretboard, and headstock add a natural elegance, while the Soloist purfling and DB Signature backstrip provide understated sophistication. The Madagascar Rosewood headstock veneer and Ziricote pyramid bridge, paired with Waverly gold tuners with snakewood buttons, reflect meticulous attention to detail. The intricate Abalone Slotted Squares & Diamonds inlays on the Ziricote fretboard further enhance the guitar's luxurious appearance.
Designed with the player in mind, the Soloist’s cutaway ensures easy access to the upper frets, while the satin neck finish offers silky smooth playability. The long scale length (25.5"), 1 3/4" nut width, and 2 5/16" bridge spacing provide precision and comfort for a variety of playing styles.
Finished with animal protein glue for superior tonal transfer and the Aged Tone high gloss body finish, this guitar resonates with an inspiring sound that bridges the gap between artistry and performance. Whether played softly in an intimate setting or driven in a grand performance hall, the Bourgeois OMC Soloist offers a symphonic experience—rich in depth, shimmering in clarity, and endlessly inspiring.
