Bourgeois Touchstone D Signature/TS Sunburst

The Bourgeois Touchstone D Signature in Sunburst: Hand-Voiced Craftsmanship from Lewiston, Maine

The Bourgeois Touchstone Signature is a guitar you don't just stumble upon. In a vintage-inspired Sunburst finish, hand-applied with water-based lacquer, this instrument directly references the golden age of American lutherie. The burst subtly frames the top, enhancing the wood's natural chatoyance in a way you only truly understand when holding the guitar in your hands.

The sound of the Touchstone Signature is rich, layered, yet surprisingly focused. The torrefied Alaskan Sitka spruce top gives the guitar an immediacy and dynamic range rarely expected from a new instrument. The Madagascar rosewood back and sides add warmth and complex harmonic content, while the low notes remain balanced and the response feels pleasant and playful. Whether you play fingerstyle or with a pick, the guitar responds honestly and nuanced to every touch.

Each top is individually hand-voiced in the workshop in Lewiston, Maine. This is not a marketing term at Bourgeois, but a craft process that makes the difference between a good and an exceptional guitar. The dreadnought body provides volume and projection, while the Signature specifications also make the guitar suitable for recording and intimate playing. The combination of a torrefied top, Madagascar rosewood, and meticulous finishing makes this an instrument that only improves with age. Those looking for an acoustic guitar with character, depth, and a story have found it here.
