Bourgeois Downeast Series OM/DE Hogtop

Bourgeois Downeast Series OM/DE Hogtop

Dana Bourgeois builds guitars the way great instruments have always been built — by hand, with intention, and without shortcuts. The Downeast Series OM/DE Hogtop is a testament to that philosophy: an Orchestra Model that delivers nuanced, responsive tone that serious players spend years searching for.

The “Hogtop” designation means this guitar wears a solid mahogany top — a tonewood choice that trades the brightness of spruce for something earthier and more immediate. Mahogany tops are prized for their dry, focused midrange, quick attack, and ability to sound fully open right out of the case. Pair that with solid mahogany back and sides and you have an instrument built entirely around warmth, clarity, and directness. The OM body balances comfort and projection beautifully, making it ideal for fingerstyle players, blues pickers, and anyone who values feel as much as sound.
