The Bourgeois Grand Auditorium, or thin body Jumbo OM (originally called the JOMT) is a body style that was developed by Dana Bourgeois in response to players’ requests for a comfortable mid-sized guitar with the balance and clarity of an OM but with a bigger presence. The idea was simple: Start with the OM outline, enlarge it a bit, play around with the curves but instead of deepening the body, keep it at the standard OM depth for more focused midrange, and you have the Bourgeois GA. The result is a wonderfully versatile guitar; larger than an OM, smaller than a Dreadnought, capable of handling almost any playing style you can imagine, and equally capable of operating in solo or ensemble situations. The comfortable added Venetian cutaway allows ease of access to the higher register conducive to a myriad of playing styles.
This custom model GAC is built with Ziricote back and sides matched with an Italian Spruce top with Mahogany neck, Adirondack Spruce bracing and Ebony fretboard and bridge. Dana Bourgeois’ premium 150 package consists of Full Ivoroid bound body, neck and headstock, Abalone Pearl rosette and square and diamond inlays, Gold Waverly tuners, Maple/ black purflings and more. This marriage of tonewoods produces a warm full and balanced sound from a light touch yet will produce with a deep growl when called upon. A really versatile build for many styles of playing.
