The Standard/TS
Vintage Americana Meets the Touchstone Series
The Standard breathes new life into a classic design that has earned its reputation as the “workhorse” of acoustic guitars. Whether you’re a road warrior chasing smoky bar room vibes or a finger-style player seeking warmth and balance, The Standard delivers rugged dependability with an unmistakable aesthetic.
Drawing inspiration from the elegant body styles of the Depression era, The Touchstone Standard captures a sense of authenticity and vintage charm. This timeless design and spirit is beautifully evoked with our classic slope-shoulder dreadnought and L-DB body styles. Elegant throwback appointments make it a true homage to tradition.

THE HEART OF EVERY TOUCHSTONE
Hand-Voiced for Resonance
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.
