The Bourgeois OMV/TS is the definitive Orchestra Model for the modern player. Combining the timeless "Herringbone" aesthetic with Dana Bourgeois’ revolutionary Touchstone voicing process, this OM is a masterclass in balance, projection, and tonal purity. Whether you are a studio professional or a dedicated fingerstyle enthusiast, the OMV/TS delivers a sophisticated, "broken-in" voice that responds to the lightest touch.
The heart of the OMV/TS is its Hand-Voiced "Engine." Every torrefied Alaskan Sitka Spruce top is selected and tap-tuned in Lewiston, Maine, ensuring it meets Dana Bourgeois’ exacting standards for stiffness and weight. By heat-treating the soundboard to remove volatiles and resins, the OMV/TS arrives with the harmonic depth and immediate resonance of a pre-war vintage OM.
The back and sides are crafted from premium East Indian Rosewood, providing a deep, lush low-end and sparkling high-end overtones. Because the OM body is shallower than a dreadnought, it eliminates "muddy" bass, allowing every note in a chord to ring out with distinct, piano-like clarity.
The "Vintage" package is rounded out with classic appointments, including square and diamond inlays, a distinctive herringbone purfling, and a celluloid pickguard. With a 1 23/32” nut width and a Ziricote fingerboard and bridge, the OMV/TS offers the premium feel and aesthetic of a flagship boutique guitar at a revolutionary value.
