Signature Details

Showcasing some of the finest materials and painstaking attention to detail for which Bourgeois Guitars is known, the new Touchstone Signature features select Madagascar Rosewood back and sides and a torrefied, old-growth Alaskan Sitka Spruce soundboard. The body, fretboard, and headstock are all bound in Ziricote, a figured wood which pairs with Dana Bourgeois’ distinctive tri-color herringbone top border and delicate pearl inlays to create an air of understated elegance.

Craftsmanship

At the heart of the Touchstone Signature is its meticulously hand-voiced top, crafted with precision and care in the Lewiston, Maine workshop. Our dedication to quality ensures each note resonates with clarity, depth, and character—the hallmarks of the Bourgeois sound.

TOUCHSTONE SERIES

The Art of
Hand-Voicing

The magic of the Touchstone Series comes from Dana’s renown system of hand-voicing. Over the last 50 years he has refined this old-world technique and is now recognized worldwide as a foremost authority on guitar-top voicing.

Dana’s method of tap-tuning optimizes the latent musicality hidden within the fibers of the world’s finest tonewoods. 

On any given day you will find Dana and his team carefully sculpting and listening to every top, back, and brace—working to maximize the sonic potential of each of his instruments.

After Touchstone tops are approved by Dana, they are vacuum sealed and shipped to Eastman’s workshop where a select group of Eastman’s finest luthiers, carefully trained in Bourgeois’ tonal philosophy and construction methodology integrate the tops into Dana’s designs, bringing each guitar to life.

Tradition & Innovation

With the Touchstone Signature, Bourgeois Guitars continues to bridge the gap between tradition and innovation, offering an instrument that resonates with both the aspiring musician and the seasoned professional.

Available Models

From the rich Indian Rosewood and herringbone stylings of the Vintage, to the classic woody Mahogany and simplicity of the Country Boy; and now with the Signature’s Madagascar Rosewood and torrefied, old-growth Alaskan Sitka Spruce top joining the family, the Touchstone Series makes these iconic Bourgeois styles more approachable than ever before.
