Bourgeois Guitars Introduces JOMC Deluxe
March 20, 2003
Pantheon Guitars announces
the addition of the Bourgeois JOMC Deluxe to its line of premium
acoustic guitars. The JOMC Deluxe is built by hand in Pantheon's
Lewiston, Maine shop by Dana Bourgeois and his team.
JOM stands for JUMBO OM. The JOMC is an original body style
developed by Dana Bourgeois in the late 80's, in response to
players' requests for a mid-sized guitar with the balance and clarity
of an OM--but a bigger presence.
The idea was simple: Start with the
OM outline, enlarge it a bit, play around with the curves, deepen the
sides, then add Dana's trademark cutaway. The result is Bourgeois'
most versatile guitar; larger than an OM, smaller than a Dreadnought,
capable of operating in solo or ensemble situations.
The JOMC Deluxe features Madagascar rosewood back and sides, a
figured bearclaw sitka spruce top, triple bound curly maple body, fretboard
and headstock binding, abalone rosette, floral inlay and gold Waverly tuners,
Bourgeois snakehead headstock and side purfling. List price: $4995. For more information, visit their web site at www.bourgeoisguitars.com. |
