Bourgeois Touchstone OM Signature/TS Sunburst

Fingerstyle refinement with the soul of Maine: the Touchstone OM Signature in Sunburst

The Touchstone OM Signature by Bourgeois is built for guitarists who want to hear every note. The OM size has traditionally been the choice of fingerstyle players and singer-songwriters who prioritize balance, articulation, and playing comfort above all else. In this vintage-inspired Sunburst finish, hand-applied with water-based lacquer, Bourgeois also adds visual depth that beautifully highlights the natural chatoyance of the wood.

The sound of the OM Signature is clear, layered, and exceptionally balanced. The torrefied Alaskan Sitka spruce top responds directly and dynamically, with an openness usually only found in well-played vintage instruments. The Madagascar rosewood back and sides give the sound warmth and complex harmonic content, without the low notes dominating. It is precisely in the OM format that this balance truly shines: each string speaks evenly, the response is nuanced, and the sustain is rich without being intrusive.

Each top is individually hand-voiced in the workshop in Lewiston, Maine. The slightly narrower body and shorter scale length of the OM model also make this instrument physically a pleasure to play, especially for longer sessions. The mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard, Schaller Grand Tune tuning machines, ebony Traditional bridge, and the Signature arrows inlays complete a guitar that matures and becomes more beautiful with age.

For those looking for an acoustic OM guitar with character, depth, and craftsmanship, this is the answer.
