Bourgeois HSV-OM T-Bar Vintage Heirloom Series Aged Tone Adirondack/Brazilian Rosewood Orchestra Model Acoustic Guitar #1098

The Bourgeois HSV-OM Vintage from the Heirloom Series is a masterclass in craftsmanship, blending rare tonewoods with Dana Bourgeois’ legendary voicing approach. At the heart of this OM is an Aged Tone Adirondack spruce top, meticulously torrefied to bring out a responsiveness and depth normally reserved for well-played vintage instruments. Paired with old-growth Brazilian rosewood back and sides, the tonal palette is nothing short of breathtaking, offering crystalline trebles, rich low-end depth, and the kind of harmonic complexity that only Brazilian delivers. This model carries the full Vintage/HS package, with aged tone torrefied Adirondack bracing, fabric side braces with wood plate, and a T-bar neck reinforcement that recalls prewar construction. Every design choice here is intentional, from the extra vintage zig-zag backstrip to the 1930s herringbone purfling, creating both a historically authentic aesthetic and a truly inspiring sound. The appointments remain understated but elegant. The square headstock is finished with a body-matched veneer and bears no front logo, only the discreet Bourgeois stamp on the back for those who know what they’re holding. Abalone slotted square-and-diamond inlays dress the ebony fingerboard, while bone pins with abalone dots, a dark tortoise pickguard, and Rickard Cyclone banjo-style tuners add both utility and refinement. Finished in a thin nitrocellulose lacquer, this guitar is built to sing freely and age gracefully for decades to come. This is not just an instrument, but an heirloom. The HSV-OM Vintage embodies the best of the prewar spirit while offering Dana Bourgeois’ unmatched ability to coax life and voice from wood. It is an OM for the player who demands nuance, power, and beauty in equal measure—crafted to stand among the very finest guitars in the world.
