Bourgeois Acoustic Guitars

At Gladesville guitar Factory, we’re proud to be the only Australian store carrying the full USA-made range from Bourgeois Guitars. These instruments are hand built in Maine, USA, and bring boutique craftsmanship, tonal refinement and aesthetic elegance. https://bourgeoisguitars.com/

In this post, we’ll take you inside what makes Bourgeois guitars special, the ranges we stock, and why this is the perfect time to check one out (in-store or online).

What makes Bourgeois special

– Hand-voiced bracing, premium tonewoods and attention to detail are hallmarks of Bourgeois Guitars. On the official website you’ll see that the company positions itself as “The Endless Pursuit of Perfect Tone.” Bourgeois Guitars
– Made in Maine, USA, by a boutique manufacturer — this gives them a different feel and tonal signature compared with mass-produced acoustics.
– In Australia, we’re fortunate to be able to offer the full USA-built line (and not just import models) which means you’re buying the genuine article, not a secondary market version.

Ranges we carry & what to look for

At Gladeville we currently stock these key Bourgeois ranges:

• Professional Series – Built for performance, rooted in tradition. 

• Legacy Series – High-end, tonewood upgrades, for discerning players.

• Heirloom Series – Boutique level, limited editions.

• Touchstone Series – A collaboration with Eastman Guitars, more accessible entry point while retaining the Bourgeois sound. (We are the only Australian store offering the USA-made Bourgeois range.

Tips on how to pick: consider body style (D, OM, 00 etc), tonewood combination (Adirondack spruce, Sitka, koa etc), and how the guitar will be used (recording / live playing / fingerstyle).
