Bourgeois Touchstone Vintage OM - Sitka Spruce & Indian Rosewood - LR Baggs Anthem

The Bourgeois Touchstone Vintage OM in Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood is a stunning example of how heritage craftsmanship and global collaboration can come together to create an instrument that feels timeless in both tone and design. This guitar is part of the innovative Touchstone Series, a partnership between Bourgeois Guitars and Eastman Guitars that bridges continents while holding firmly to Dana Bourgeois’ unmatched standards for acoustic guitar excellence.

The journey of every Touchstone Vintage OM begins in Lewiston, Maine, where Dana Bourgeois and his team carefully select, brace, and voice each Sitka Spruce top. This meticulous voicing work, combined with Adirondack Spruce braces, is the secret to the responsive, open sound that has defined Bourgeois instruments for decades. Dana’s influence as one of the most respected names in modern lutherie can be heard in every note. His pioneering approach to tap-tuning and bracing has shaped the boutique acoustic world, inspiring countless builders to follow his commitment to tone and precision.

After the tops are perfected, they are shipped to Eastman’s highly skilled workshop in Beijing, where the back, sides, neck, and finishing details are expertly crafted around Bourgeois’ heart of the guitar. Once complete, the instruments return to the USA, where every detail is inspected and approved by the Bourgeois team. The result is a guitar that blends authentic Bourgeois character with the best of Eastman’s renowned craftsmanship.

The Touchstone Vintage OM features a classic combination of Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood, producing a balanced voice that is crisp and articulate yet full and warm. The 14-fret Honduran Mahogany neck offers a comfortable feel for a range of playing styles, from delicate fingerpicking to bold strumming. The Ebony fingerboard and bridge provide durability and smooth playability, while the Squares and Diamonds fingerboard inlay adds a touch of vintage charm.

Every visual detail feels thoughtfully chosen to celebrate tradition. The Ziricote headstock veneer with its Mother of Pearl Bourgeois logo gives the guitar a refined presence, while Ivoroid body binding, vintage herringbone purfling, and a black-and-white rosette pay tribute to the golden era of acoustic design. The Indian Rosewood back and sides are accented by a classic zipper backstrip that completes the timeless look.

Schaller Grand Tune nickel tuning machines deliver precise, reliable tuning and pair beautifully with the guitar’s elegant lines. The bone nut and saddle ensure excellent tonal transfer and sustain, while the Ebony bridge is secured with Ivoroid pins for a subtle vintage touch. The body wears a flawless high gloss finish that highlights the beauty of the woods, while the neck and headstock are finished in satin for a smooth, inviting feel.

Equipped with an LR Baggs Anthem system, the Touchstone Vintage OM is ready for any stage or studio. This pickup captures the guitar’s natural acoustic voice with remarkable clarity and warmth, allowing its rich character to shine when amplified.

With a 25.5 inch scale length, a comfortable 1 23/32 inch nut width, and 2.2 inch bridge spacing, this OM offers a playing experience that feels instantly familiar yet effortlessly inspiring. Weighing in at just 5 pounds, it is easy to hold for long sessions and projects a voice far larger than its size suggests.

Protected by a sturdy hard case, the Bourgeois Touchstone Vintage OM is more than a beautiful guitar. It represents the dedication, vision, and legacy of Dana Bourgeois combined with Eastman’s outstanding build quality. This guitar is an invitation to connect with music deeply and confidently, knowing every chord and note carries forward the Bourgeois tradition of finely tuned acoustic excellence.
