About Bourgeois Guitars
Bourgeois Guitars are built in Lewiston, Maine, by a shop led by Dana Bourgeois — one of the most quietly influential voicers in American acoustic guitar making. Dana spent decades voicing tops for other respected shops before opening this one, and players who care about acoustic tone have long traded notes about "Bourgeois thump" the way wine drinkers talk about terroir. The guitars sound dry, fundamental, and unmistakably his. Eastman acquired the shop in 2019, which set off some hand-wringing in boutique circles — five years on, Dana's still in Lewiston voicing tops, and the worry has faded.
About Northern Lights Music
Northern Lights Music is a family-owned independent in Littleton, New Hampshire, operating since 1978 from a Main Street storefront in the heart of the White Mountains. The shop's boutique acoustic floor runs unusually deep for a town its size — Bourgeois is the standout, alongside Santa Cruz, Collings, Lowden, and Huss & Dalton, with rotating inventory from Froggy Bottom, Goodall, Preston Thompson, Greven, Larrivée, and McPherson. New and used sit side by side, and the used catalog regularly turns up vintage examples of the same builders. The shop's geographic position — roughly three hours north of Boston and four from Montreal — makes it a destination dealer for upper New England and southern Quebec rather than a walk-by retailer.
