Bourgeois Guitars OM Vintage Touchstone
Product information "Bourgeois Guitars OM Vintage Touchstone"
The brand‑new Touchstone series from Bourgeois Guitars features Tops made from high‑quality Alaskan Sitka spruce and bracings of Adirondack spruce, which were harvested from Dana Bourgeois's own woodlot and hand‑selected by his team in Lewiston, Maine. The back and sides are crafted from carefully selected Indian rosewood and are assembled by a small group of talented luthiers, all carefully trained in Dana Bourgeois's time‑honoured construction techniques. Every step is carried out by hand to highlight the beauty and tonal complexity of the OM Vintage Touchstone.

The company Bourgeois Guitars is renowned for the handcrafted production of steel-string acoustic guitars of the highest calibre. All instruments belong to the absolute premium segment. Dana Bourgeois founded Bourgeois Guitars in 1992 after he developed a passion for learning about and building high-quality guitars while studying at Bowdoin College in Maine. He built his own guitars in the early 1970s and opened a small shop in Maine in 1977, where he worked as a luthier and repairer.
Over the years Bourgeois Guitars has earned an outstanding reputation, as the company places great emphasis on genuine craftsmanship and an excellent tone. Only first-rate, carefully selected materials are used for the instruments, because quality always comes first. The brand also impresses with its variety, offering guitarists many different models to choose from, including dreadnoughts, OM models, jumbos and more. Bourgeois guitars are not simply acoustic guitars, but lovingly crafted works of art.
