The Soloist Returns for a New Generation:
The Soloist/TS Launch Edition marks the debut of a new era for Bourgeois’ celebrated Soloist model, now available for the first time in our Touchstone Series. Built on Dana Bourgeois’ legendary Soloist platform, the OM cutaway (OMC), which helped define the modern fingerstyle guitar.

The newest addition to our award-winning Touchstone Series features an individually carved and hand-voiced soundboard, crafted in our Lewiston, Maine workshop, preserving the luthier’s touch that gives Bourgeois guitars their world-renowned tone and response.

Shaping the Sound of Generations:
Dana Bourgeois began crafting guitars in 1975, inspired by a passion for perfection and a deep respect for traditional luthiery. Over the last 50 years, his innovative designs and attention to detail have set the standard in the world of acoustic guitars. From his groundbreaking voicing techniques to his dedication to sourcing the finest tonewoods, Dana has shaped the sound of generations of musicians.

Hand-Voiced for Resonance: ,br> 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.

Touchstone Series:
With the Touchstone Series, 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.
