{"product_id":"864455","title":"Bourgeois OM\/C Soloist ~Brazilian~ Beaujolais","description":"Bourgeois Guitars, created by guitar maker Dana Bourgeois, is a top American guitar brand, often mentioned alongside Collings and Santa Cruz.\u003cbr\u003e Crafted from carefully selected materials, expert technical skills, and designs born from Dana's extensive experience, these guitars combine \"high precision as musical instruments\" with \"a musically rich tone,\" earning high praise from numerous musicians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The \"OM\/C Soloist\" is the most iconic and representative model of Beaujolais.\u003cbr\u003e Released in 1985 at the request of Eric Schoenberg, a renowned ragtime-style guitar player, this guitar features a beautiful silhouette with an OM (Orchestra) body and a uniquely shallow Venetian cutaway. Its refined design and sound have earned it the moniker of \"modern classic,\" and it is a favorite among numerous musicians.\u003cbr\u003e Despite its appearance, it boasts a surprisingly thick and substantial fundamental tone, and despite its OM body, it has a wide dynamic range that makes you feel like you're playing a dreadnought. Yet, it also responds quickly to picking; even a light strum produces a smooth, lossless vibration throughout the entire body, and when you touch it firmly, the sound image is captured without distortion, resulting in a sound balance that faithfully reflects the nuances of the player's touch.\u003cbr\u003e With its looks and design, this model best reflects Dana's original design philosophy, making it truly worthy of being a flagship model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is a special custom model specially made for the Japanese market.\u003cbr\u003e This guitar features a German spruce top and luxurious Brazilian rosewood sides and back. The rosette is customized with an abalone ring, resulting in a simple yet sophisticated masterpiece.\u003cbr\u003e While its core sound characteristics follow those of a standard Soloist, the combination of German spruce and Brazilian rosewood materials creates a truly special instrument, offering an even more gorgeous, deep tone and seemingly endless sustain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although produced through a team-building process, it's no exaggeration to say that the quality is comparable to that of luthier-made pieces. It's a tremendous improvement over Beaujolais from a few years ago, and you can feel their commitment to continuous evolution even as a top brand in the industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Since only a few Soloist models are imported into Japan each year, it's safe to say that this is a truly special model.\u003cbr\u003e Please take this opportunity to try it out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModel: OM\/C Soloist\u003cbr\u003e Serial: 10945\u003cbr\u003e Top: German Spruce\u003cbr\u003e Back: Brazilian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e Scale Length: 25.5 inches (647.7 mm)\u003cbr\u003e Rosette: Abalone\u003cbr\u003e Backstrip: Dana Bourgeois Signature\u003cbr\u003e Endpiece Inlay: Body Wood\u003cbr\u003e Body Binding: Ziricote\u003cbr\u003e Purfling: Soloist Style\u003cbr\u003e Head Shape: Square Headstock with Diamond\u003cbr\u003e Head Veneer: Madagascar Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e Head Inlay: Mother of Pearl Bourgeois Logo\u003cbr\u003e Head Binding: None\u003cbr\u003e FB\/Bridge Wood: Ebony Fretboard and Bridge\u003cbr\u003e Fretboard Inlay: Abalone Slotted Squares \u0026amp; Diamonds\u003cbr\u003e Fretboard Binding: Black\u003cbr\u003e Nut\/Bridge Width:Nut-1 3\/4(44.5mm) Bridge-2 5\/16(58.7mm)\u003cbr\u003e Heel Cap: Matched with Binding Wood, Inlaid\u003cbr\u003e Tuners: Waverly Gold\/Ebony\u003cbr\u003e Bridge: Pyramid Bridge\u003cbr\u003e Pins: Bone with Black Dots\u003cbr\u003e Spinguard: None\u003cbr\u003e Pickup: None\u003cbr\u003e Label: Dana Bourgeois Signature Label\u003cbr\u003e Glue: Standard\u003cbr\u003e Neck Finish: Satin\u003cbr\u003e Headstock Finish: High Gloss\u003cbr\u003e Body Finish: High Gloss\u003cbr\u003e Top Color: Natural\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hard case included","brand":"Bourgeois","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43858193350769,"sku":"864455","price":30279.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/864455_01.jpg?v=1785753853","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/products\/864455","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
