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.

The Bourgeois The Standard LDBS/TS Touchstone Series is a masterfully crafted sunburst OO that blends vintage-inspired design with modern precision. Featuring a torrefied Sitka spruce top, this guitar delivers the warmth and responsiveness of a well-aged instrument with enhanced projection and articulation. The solid mahogany back and sides provide a rich midrange, perfect for dynamic strumming and fingerstyle playing. A smooth, 14th-fret mahogany neck and ziricote fingerboard offer effortless playability, complemented by a comfortable 25" scale length and bone nut. Adirondack spruce bracing ensures exceptional resonance and structural integrity, while the high-gloss finish showcases the elegant sunburst top. Premium Schaller Grand Tune nickel tuners with ivoroid buttons add a touch of class, and the ziricote bridge with ivoroid pins completes the aesthetic. With its balance of tonal depth, vintage character, and modern refinement, this Bourgeois Touchstone Series dreadnought is an inspiring companion for discerning musicians. Protected in a deluxe hardshell case, it’s ready to make an impression wherever the music takes you.
