Description
The Standard breathes new life into a classic design that has earned its reputation as the “workhorse” of acoustic guitars. Whether you’re a road warrior chasing smoky bar room vibes or a finger-style player seeking warmth and balance, The Standard delivers rugged dependability with an unmistakable aesthetic.
A Classic Reimagined
Drawing inspiration from the elegant body styles of the Depression era, The Touchstone Standard captures a sense of authenticity and vintage charm. This timeless design and spirit is beautifully evoked with our classic slope-shoulder dreadnought and L-DB body styles. Elegant throwback appointments make it a true homage to tradition.
SOUND & FEEL
Aged Tone Perfection
The Standard’s torrefied Sitka spruce soundboard delivers a warm,
aged tone right out of the box, with dynamic response and clarity that
only deepens over time. A sound that’s as versatile as it is rich—perfect
for strumming, fingerpicking, and everything in between.
Paired with mahogany back and sides, the result is a balanced, versatile voice perfect for everything from gentle fingerpicking to robust strumming.
Built for Comfort
Every element of The Standard is crafted for comfort and performance, from its 14-fret mahogany neck to the Ziricote fingerboard and bridge, complete with high-gloss finish.
With Adirondack spruce bracing and Bourgeois’ signature attention to detail, The Standard is built to deliver a powerful, responsive sound that deepens and matures over time, while Schaller Grand Tune nickel tuners add vintage-inspired functionality.
