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 The Guitar Sanctuary
The Guitar Sanctuary is a boutique shop in McKinney, Texas — a half hour north of Dallas — that frames itself as "shelter from the retail storm": a curated showroom with high-craft builders front and center and a sales floor staffed to actually know the instruments. The shop is more than retail. Their Performance Academy runs one-on-one lessons across guitar, vocal, piano, and bass with rolling enrollment, and they host live concerts in their own events space — students get stage time alongside touring acts, learning the room as much as the instrument. Their boutique acoustic shelves anchor on Bourgeois (Touchstone, Custom Shop, and Aged Tone Series), Collings, Lowden, and McPherson.
