This Bourgeois JOMC Deluxe is a beautifully appointed example of Dana Bourgeois’ finest work, built with Brazilian rosewood back and sides and a striking bear claw Sitka spruce top. The combination of these tonewoods gives the guitar a wide dynamic range, clear note separation and a deep, piano-like low end that makes the JOMC such a versatile and expressive body shape.
The craftsmanship throughout is exactly what you expect from Bourgeois. The top has dramatic bear claw figuring that catches the light with every movement, while the Brazilian set on the back is rich, dark and beautifully bookmatched with a detailed center strip. Fit and finish are elegant and understated with tasteful wood purfling and clean lines throughout.
The guitar has been very well cared for and remains in excellent condition with only the lightest signs of handling. It plays effortlessly up the neck thanks to Bourgeois’ comfortable carve and precise fretwork, and the cutaway gives easy access to the upper register. It is a responsive instrument that feels alive under the fingers, equally suited for fingerstyle, flatpicking or open-voiced strumming.
A boutique level JOMC built with rare woods, musical balance and the kind of refinement that makes Bourgeois guitars so consistently sought after. A fantastic example for any player or collector looking for a Brazilian rosewood Bourgeois without compromise.
