Bourgeois Guitars Professional Series: The Ultimate Guide

For years, the sound of a boutique, hand-voiced guitar from Lewiston, Maine, was a dream for many musicians. The new Professional Series turns that dream into a reality. This incredible lineup was designed specifically for the working musician, delivering the legendary tone and craftsmanship of a Bourgeois at a truly unprecedented price point. As close friends and collaborators with Dana Bourgeois and his team, we at The Acoustic Shoppe are thrilled to give you the ultimate inside guide to this game-changing series.

What Defines the Bourgeois Professional Series?

At its core, the Professional Series is about delivering uncompromising quality and performance. Every guitar is handcrafted in the USA, right alongside the rest of the Bourgeois lineup in Lewiston, Maine. But what makes them special?

• Built for the Player: Each model features Dana's precision-voiced bracing and a proprietary bolt-on neck, ensuring tonal consistency and long-term stability—perfect for an instrument that will see stages and studios.

• The Sound of Quality: The series uses select, solid tonewoods to achieve the warmth, clarity, and balance that Bourgeois is famous for.

The Key to Value: Satin vs. Gloss Finish

The true genius of the Professional Series lies in the choice of finish, which allows you to select your ideal feel and price point.

PS-S (Satin Finish)

This is the option that has the guitar world buzzing. The smooth, fast satin finish gives the guitar a comfortable, broken-in feel right away. More importantly, it’s what makes it possible to own a hand-voiced, American-made  Boutique Guitar at a price that competes with many mass-produced instruments. You get 100% of the core tone and build quality in an accessible package.

PS (Gloss Finish)

For those who want the top-tier experience, the high-gloss PS models are a worthy upgrade. This package includes a torrefied Sitka Spruce top and Aged Tone bracing. This advanced torrefaction process unlocks a truly vintage voice, giving your brand-new guitar the complex, responsive sound of a well-cared-for heirloom.
