Bourgeois Touchstone OM Signature/TS Sunburst

The Bourgeois Touchstone OM Signature in Sunburst: Fingerstyle Refinement with the Soul of Maine

The Bourgeois Touchstone OM Signature is built for guitarists who want to hear every note. The OM size has traditionally been the choice of fingerstyle players and singer-songwriters who prioritize balance, articulation, and playing comfort above all else. In this vintage-inspired Sunburst finish, hand-applied with a water-based solution, Bourgeois adds a visual depth that beautifully highlights the natural chatoyance of the wood.

The sound of the OM Signature is clear, layered, and exceptionally balanced. The torrefied Alaskan Sitka spruce top responds instantly and dynamically, with an openness usually only found in played-in vintage instruments. The Madagascar rosewood back and sides give the sound warmth and complex harmonic content, without the bass overpowering. Precisely in the OM size, this balance truly comes into its own: every string responds evenly, the response is nuanced, and the sustain is rich without being intrusive.

Every top is individually hand-voiced in the workshop in Lewiston, Maine, a process that is not an exception but standard at Bourgeois. The slightly narrower body and shorter scale length of the OM model also make this instrument physically a pleasure to play, especially for longer sessions. The combination of torrefied top, Madagascar rosewood, and the meticulous Sunburst finish makes this a guitar that will mature and become more beautiful with age. For those looking for an acoustic OM guitar with character, depth, and craftsmanship, this is the answer.
