Bourgeois Touchstone
Aloha, from Maine…
This limited-edition model is exclusive to our Touchstone Series. Crafted with figured Hawaiian Koa back and sides, each guitar showcases unique, naturally figured woods, ensuring no two instruments are the same.
A TOUCH OF ISLAND WARMTH
Salvaged from the ancient Koa forests of the Big Island of Hawaii, the Hawaiian Country Boy’s Koa backs and sides sound as good as they look, offering a rich midrange that will deepen over time.
In Partnership with Hearne Hardwoods, Bourgeois Guitars will donate 5% of proceeds from every Limited-Edition Hawaiian Country Boy sold to support the ongoing Koa reforestation efforts in the Hawaiian Islands.
SOUND & FEEL
Dana Bourgeois has personally selected each old-growth Bearclaw Sitka Spruce top in this series. Chosen for their bright and responsive tap tones, each one was hand-voiced at Dana’s small workshop in Maine. By combining the warmth of Island Koa with the sparkle of winter spruce, the Touchstone Hawaiian Country Boy has been designed to respond equally well to delicate fingerpicking and lively strumming.
The Sound of Bourgeois
At the heart of the Touchstone Series is its meticulously hand-voiced top, crafted with precision and care in the Lewiston, Maine workshop. Our dedication to quality ensures each note resonates with clarity, depth, and character—the hallmarks of the Bourgeois sound.
The Art of Hand-Voicing
The magic of the Touchstone Series comes from Dana’s renown system of hand-voicing. Over the last 50 years he has refined this old-world technique and is now recognized worldwide as a foremost authority on guitar-top voicing.
