Bourgeois Touchstone Country Boy OM

Meet the Bourgeois Touchstone series, a collection of handcrafted guitars designed by the iconic Dana Bourgeois. These guitars are made with Bourgeois' signature attention to detail, imparting his legendary sound and craftsmanship to more players than ever before. The bracings come from deep within the northern forests of Maine. After Dana prepares the Touchstone tops, they are sealed and shipped to Eastman's workshop, where a select group of Eastman luthiers, trained by Dana Bourgeois, learn the tonal philosophy and building methods in Dana's designs. Each guitar from the Touchstone series is brought to life. The difference is evident: the Vintage guitars feature rosewood sides and backs, while the Country Boys are made with mahogany sides and backs. And yes, it carries the familiar scents of the iconic guitars in the 18 and 28 styles. Nothing could be further from the truth; the wheel does not need to be reinvented after two centuries based on this data. However, Bourgeois and Eastman are striving to create the best version as a collective. And is that possible? Oh, what a sound! The Country Boy OM has the creaminess and sweetness you can find in such a small guitar. Wonderful for dynamic fingerpicking, no matter how small you make it. Chords sound richer, more harmonious, and creamier than ever before. Truly insane. The collaboration between Bourgeois and Eastman seems to be a brilliant move. The result is the ultimate blend of exceptional quality at an extraordinary price. The Touchstone guitars can rightly be called true hi-end players' guitars and can leave much of the established order far behind. The guitar comes with a hard case and a certificate.
