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 Rudy's Music
Rudy's Music opened in 1978 when Rudy Pensa and his wife Fran started a small shop on 48th Street, the legendary Midtown block where New York's instrument dealers stacked floor by floor. Born in Argentina, Rudy is a builder as well as a shopkeeper — the Pensa Custom Shop's MK model, designed with Mark Knopfler in 1985, sits among the most sought-after custom electrics in the world. The shop moved to a Soho flagship at 461 Broome St in 2014 — chosen for its proximity to John D'Angelico's old Kenmare St workshop and the original Martin factory site — and a second location opened in Scarsdale Village in 2018, with inventory unified across both stores. Their boutique acoustic floor leans on Santa Cruz, Bourgeois, Collings, and Goodall alongside the shop's deeper electric, amp, and pedal catalog — one of the few NYC destinations where a buyer can walk in and find a curated high-end acoustic selection.
