With a combination of Panamanian rosewood and red spruce, this Bourgeois Panama Red will effortlessly transport you to higher spheres, just like its namesake!

Dana Bourgeois has been building guitars for decades. He is known worldwide as one of the leading authorities on toning, selecting, and using the very best tonewoods. One of the very best and most special tonewoods is Panamanian rosewood, which is on full display on the back and sides of this OM. Panama Rosewood is both light and stiff, resulting in a tone with the characteristic warmth and complexity also found in Brazilian rosewood.

The spruce top chosen for this remarkable back and sides comes from the Adirondack Mountains and is torrified, finished with a specific finish that contributes to the vintage tone that emanates from the instrument. The final piece of the tone puzzle is the Honduran mahogany neck, which, like the body, is glued with Animal Protein glue.

As we have come to expect, the fit and finish of a Bourgeois is, of course, exceptionally good and exudes the class you would expect from Bourgeois. This is also reflected in the understated and luxurious features such as the short diamond inlay, DB herringbone trim, and the Madagascar Rosewood headstock overlay bearing the MOP Bourgeois logo.

This Panama Red OM was built in 2023 and still looks almost brand new! Only the glossy matte finish on the back of the neck reveals that the guitar is no longer new, but it is otherwise exceptionally clean. The guitar comes with a TFOA passport and comes in a hardshell case.
