Bourgeois Touchstone D Signature/TS Sunburst

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

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

The sound of the Touchstone Signature is rich, layered, yet surprisingly focused. The torrefied Alaskan Sitka spruce top gives the guitar a directness and dynamic range rarely expected from a new guitar. The Madagascar rosewood back and sides add warmth and complex harmonic content, while the bass remains 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 handcrafted 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 mahogany neck with ebony fretboard, Schaller Grand Tune tuners, and Signature arrow inlays complete an instrument that only gets better with age.
