WAYS TO PAY:
The Bourgeois Guitars Country Boy Touchstone Dreadnought is designed to bring the signature Bourgeois tone and craftsmanship to a wider range of players. Developed under the expertise of Dana Bourgeois, this model features high-quality tonewoods, meticulous hand-voicing, and a refined build process that ensures outstanding sound and playability.
Premium Materials & Construction
At the core of the Touchstone Series is an Old-Growth Alaskan Sitka Spruce top, hand-selected and voiced in Bourgeois' workshop in Lewiston, Maine. This tonewood is known for its excellent responsiveness and tonal balance, making it ideal for a dreadnought guitar. The Adirondack Spruce bracing, also sourced and prepared by the Bourgeois team, enhances the guitar's structural integrity and tonal dynamics, ensuring a well-balanced, powerful sound.
The back and sides are made from Mahogany, a classic choice for dreadnoughts. Mahogany delivers a warm, woody tone with strong midrange projection, making it an excellent option for both flatpicking and fingerstyle playing. The combination of Sitka Spruce and Mahogany results in a clear, articulate sound with plenty of volume and depth.
Hand-Voiced for Optimal Tone
One of the defining features of the Touchstone Series is its hand-voiced top, a process Dana Bourgeois has refined over nearly 50 years. Each top is carefully carved, tapped, and adjusted to bring out the best tonal characteristics. This meticulous approach ensures that every guitar offers exceptional clarity, sustain, and dynamic range.
After the top is approved by Dana and his team, it is vacuum-sealed and shipped to Eastman's workshop, where a team of highly trained luthiers integrates it into the final instrument. Eastman's craftsmanship, combined with Bourgeois' design philosophy, results in a guitar that delivers the signature Bourgeois sound at a more accessible price point.
Playability & Hardware
The 14-fret Mahogany neck features an Ebony fingerboard, providing a smooth playing experience with excellent durability. The 1 23/32" bone nut and 2.2" bone saddle contribute to precise intonation and sustain.
The guitar is equipped with Schaller Grand Tune Nickel tuners, known for their smooth operation and reliability. The Ebony bridge with Ebony pins enhances the guitar's sustain and overall resonance.
The high-gloss finish not only protects the instrument but also enhances its natural beauty, allowing the grain of the wood to shine through.
Conclusion
The Bourgeois Country Boy Touchstone Dreadnought is an excellent choice for players who want a high-quality, American-voiced dreadnought with exceptional tonal balance, premium craftsmanship, and a responsive playing experience. Whether for stage, studio, or home use, this guitar delivers the renowned Bourgeois sound with outstanding reliability and performance.
