Bourgeois Guitars: A Legacy of Innovation and Tone

At The Acoustic Shoppe, we are honored to present the exceptional instruments of Bourgeois Guitars. Led by the visionary Dana Bourgeois, this brand stands as a paragon of acoustic guitar craftsmanship, blending time-honored tradition with cutting-edge innovation.

The Masterful Mind of Dana Bourgeois

Dana Bourgeois' passion for lutherie ignited in the 1970s, and by 1977 he had established his own shop in Brunswick, Maine. A pivotal moment in his career was his collaboration with flatpicking legend Tony Rice, which led him to refine his dreadnoughts to emulate the balanced and articulate voice of his Orchestra Models. In 1993, he founded Bourgeois Guitars in Lewiston, Maine, with a mission to create instruments that would become the new standard for acoustic excellence.

Dana is renowned for his pioneering techniques, including "tap-tuning" to voice each guitar top for optimal resonance and his early adoption of torrefaction, a wood-aging process that imbues his guitars with a vintage tone from the moment they are strung up.

A Partnership for the Future: Bourgeois and Eastman

In 2019, Bourgeois Guitars embarked on a groundbreaking partnership with Eastman Music, a collaboration built on a shared dedication to quality and craftsmanship. This partnership has allowed Bourgeois to expand its reach and introduce the celebrated "Touchstone" series. These remarkable guitars feature tops that are hand-voiced by Dana and his team in Maine, then expertly paired with bodies crafted in Eastman's esteemed workshop. The result is an instrument that delivers the legendary Bourgeois tone and quality at a more accessible price point.

This collaboration has not only brought Bourgeois to a wider audience but has also spurred further innovation and growth, ensuring that the brand remains at the forefront of acoustic guitar design.

A Look to the Future

The spirit of innovation at Bourgeois is as strong as ever. We are incredibly excited about the new product lines that Bourgeois has in the making for 2025 and beyond. These upcoming models promise to continue the Bourgeois legacy of pushing the boundaries of acoustic guitar design, offering players new and exciting sonic possibilities.
