This really is the most versatile guitar in the extensive Bourgeois line. In Dana’s words; “JOM stands for JUMBO OM. The JOMC is an original body style developed in the late 80’s, in response to players’ requests for a mid-sized guitar having the balance and clarity of an OM–but with a bigger presence. The idea was simple: Start with the OM outline, enlarge it a bit, play around with the curves, deepen the sides, then add the Bourgeois trademark cutaway. The result is our most versatile guitar; larger than an OM, smaller than a Dreadnought, capable of handling almost any playing style you can imagine, and equally capable of operating in solo or ensemble situations.”

As Dana says, ” The BK Slope D known as the Banjo Killer has a deep, broad tone. Through wood selection and voicing, we push it in the direction of a bigger bottom end, a lush top end, and greater volume, similar to the characteristics of Bryan Sutton’s original Banjo Killer. When I first started making slope shouldered Dreadnoughts, I went for something as different as possible from the balanced and focused sound of my standard Dreadnought. The Banjo Killer gets me back to that original idea.”

Originally designed as a 35th Anniversary model, this massive sounding Baritone is a uniquely voiced instrument that should appeal to many types of players. Start off with the big and loud Grand Symphony body shape, then add the classic wood pairing of Sitka spruce and Indian rosewood, and top it off with a 27″ scale length tuned from B to B and you get a lush sonic cocktail!!
