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.”
