Bourgeois Touchstone Series Standard Slope D Sunburst

Dana Bourgeois began crafting guitars in 1975, inspired by a passion for perfection and a deep respect for traditional luthiery. Over the last 50 years, his innovative designs and attention to detail have set the standard in the world of acoustic guitars. From his groundbreaking voicing techniques to his dedication to sourcing the finest tonewoods, Dana has shaped the sound of generations of musicians.

The Bourgeois tap-tuning process implemented in a Touchstone guitar is a masterful technique that brings out the natural frequencies of its soundboard.  By tapping the wood and listening closely, our luthiers uncover its tonal potential, skillfully balancing stiffness and durability. The braces are meticulously hand-carved to refine the top and back, optimizing resonance and tonal richness. This careful attention to detail results in guitars with a unique, harmonically balanced voice, ensuring exceptional sound quality and a lasting legacy of craftsmanship that will endure for generations.
