Bourgeois
From a purpose-built craftshop inside a historic 1850s mill, where wool for a world at war once poured out by the thousands of yards, Bourgeois Guitars produces around 400 intimately crafted guitars each year. Dana and a skilled team of about 20 craftspeople create guitars in popular sizes and tonewood pairings for players around the world who aspire to play their best and enjoy the feeling of owning an exquisite instrument that will be a family heirloom someday.
Their founder, Dana Bourgeois, played a legendary role in the modern development of craft-built acoustic guitars. He developed a lifelong passion for learning, and building great guitars, while attending Maine’s Bowdoin College.
Combining thermo-cured wood, a hard, extremely thin finish exhibiting the crystalline tone of naturally aged nitrocellulose lacquer and his other innovations, creates guitars with vintage looks, feel and tone that are anything but just another replica.
Each Bourgeois guitar is built with the same unwavering attention to detail, using the finest tonewoods and a reliance on hand-assembly. CNC machines are also employed, though only when the precision provided by these computer-driven routing and cutting tools exceeds what’s possible with the human hand and eye.
To this day, Dana meticulously oversees the top and back voicing of every guitar and approves selection of all tonewoods, skills that have become legendary in the world of acoustic guitar luthierie.
