Bourgeois Guitars
Bourgeois Guitars are built in Lewiston, Maine, in a shop led by Dana Bourgeois — one of the most quietly influential voicers in acoustic guitar making. Dana spent decades refining his ear before the brand took its current shape, and players who care about tone trade notes about the dry, fundamental "Bourgeois" voice the way wine drinkers talk about terroir. Each top is still hand-voiced by ear rather than built to a fixed spec. Since a 2019 strategic partnership with the Eastman Music Company, Dana has stayed on as an owner and CEO with his team building in Lewiston as before — the partnership widened the brand's reach while the Maine workshop kept doing what it always has.
Mass Street Music
Mass Street Music has operated for more than three decades on Massachusetts Street in Lawrence, Kansas — an independent shop with a wide catalog spanning new, used, and vintage instruments. The boutique acoustic shelves run heavy on Collings, with Santa Cruz, Waterloo, and occasional single-luthier builds (Leo Posch among them) rounding out the inventory. Every guitar that leaves the floor — boutique-priced or value-priced — gets a free setup from the in-house luthiers.
