"What would a Large Soundhole sound like on OM?" After we discovered the compelling effect the Large Soundhole had on our Dreadnoughts, Dana couldn't help but wonder where else it could be applied. This led to our Large Soundhole OM, which brings the very traditional "Holy Grail" look to a smaller body size. But as cool as it looks, it is the tone we were interested in, and boy does it ever deliver. Wide open, articulate response with enough string separation and balance to please fingerstylists but also enough volume and body resonance to make any flatpicker happy. We think it's an exceptional hybrid guitar that doesn't look anything like a "hybrid guitar".  http://bourgeoisguitars.net/2016-festival-guitar/om-large-soundhole/
