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.
Maple Street Guitars
Maple Street Guitars has been operating in Atlanta's Buckhead district for decades — a hands-on shop with one of the deepest boutique acoustic floors in the Southeast. Walking through their inventory at any given month surfaces serious depth on Collings alongside Santa Cruz, Lowden, Goodall, Bourgeois, Furch, and Larrivée's top-tier work — a curatorial mix that more closely resembles a Northeast destination shop than its market would predict. They run new and used inventory side by side, with the used catalog often including hard-to-find vintage examples from the same builders.
