This very early Bourgeois OM (serial number 220) is essentially a handmade guitar from Dana himself. More comparable to one of Dana's Schoenberg Soloists than it is to a modern Bourgeois guitar, it features a three-piece Brazilian Rosewood back, Engelmann Spruce top, pyramid bridge, and soft cutaway. It's a lightweight, responsive guitar with fabulous depth of tone, and a silky, rich voice. Overall condition for its age is, well, near-mint. It hasn't been played much in years, and it's been newly setup by luthier, Matt Arcara, of Portland, Maine. Priced with its original hard case (TKL style).
