Bourgeois DV/TS Vintage Touchstone Dreadnaught w/ HSC

Drawing on Dana’s nearly half-century of lutherie experience, the Touchstone Series is designed to deliver a legendary Bourgeois tone and build quality to a broader range of players. Our all-new Touchstone Series guitars feature Old-Growth Alaskan Sitka Spruce tops and Adirondack Spruce braces harvested from deep in our backyard, selected and hand-voiced in Lewiston, Maine, by Dana Bourgeois and his team. Using our renowned system of hand voicing, all Touchstone Series soundboards are optimized for tonal excellence by a team of skilled luthiers right here in Maine. The back and sides of the Touchstone Vintage/TS are made with carefully selected Indian Rosewood and assembled by the talented craftsmen at Eastman Music. Each specialized step is performed by hand to bring out the beauty and tonal complexity. 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.
