Beautiful Jumbo OMT Cutaway, pale Italian top complemented by warm red Padauk back and sides The Jumbo OM Cutaway, or JOMC, is an original body style developed by Dana in the late 80's, in response to players' requests for a mid-sized guitar with 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 and deepen the sides. The result is a wonderfully 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.
The JOMC comes standard with a European spruce top (Sitka and Adirondack spruce tops are options) and East Indian rosewood back and sides, with a wood rosette, squares and diamonds inlay, ebony belly bridge, tortoiseshell binding and gold Waverly tuners with ebony buttons.
Here's what builder David Wren had to say about our JOMC:
"There are very few body sizes that appeal to such a broad cross section of players as this JOM from Dana Bourgeois! When you're holding this instrument, it doesn't feel substantially larger than an Orchestra Model, yet it packs a punch not unlike a modern dreadnought ... but with better trebles! The tight waist allows the box to sit lower on your lap, giving the impression of a smaller guitar.” Specs:Serial Number: 8059
