Harkening back to our roots in vintage-inspired design, our Vintage model has for decades been a cornerstone of the Bourgeois brand. With a few changes, we’ve made the all new Vintage Heirloom. Imagine the fullness of East Indian Rosewood, paired with a premium Adirondack Spruce soundboard. Now add authentic prewar appointments and Animal Protein glue. The result will bring you back to the days before the term “vintage” applied to guitars.

In the late 1920s, 12 fret, slotted head guitars began their historic transformation into the still-dominant designs of the 1930s. Left behind, however, were larger upper bouts, longer air cavities and optimal bridge placement at the center of the widest part of the lower bout. The OMS combines these throwback features with a slotted headstock and a 25.5” scale neck to recreate a design still coveted by fingerstylists – and not a few flatpickers.
