Bourgeois Touchstone Signature D Torrefied Alaskan Sitka/Madagascar Rosewood Natural
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 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.
Dana’s method of tap-tuning optimizes the latent musicality hidden within the fibers of the world’s finest tonewoods.
On any given day you will find Dana and his team carefully sculpting and listening to every top and brace—working to maximize the sonic potential of each of his instruments.
After Touchstone tops are approved by Dana, they are vacuum sealed and shipped to Eastman’s workshop where a select group of Eastman’s finest luthiers, carefully trained in Bourgeois’ tonal philosophy and construction methodology integrate the tops into Dana’s designs, bringing each guitar to life.
