About Bourgeois Guitars
Bourgeois Guitars are built in Lewiston, Maine, by a shop led by Dana Bourgeois — one of the most quietly influential voicers in American acoustic guitar making. Dana spent decades voicing tops for other respected shops before opening this one, and players who care about acoustic tone have long traded notes about "Bourgeois thump" the way wine drinkers talk about terroir. The guitars sound dry, fundamental, and unmistakably his. Eastman acquired the shop in 2019, which set off some hand-wringing in boutique circles — five years on, Dana's still in Lewiston voicing tops, and the worry has faded.
About McCabe's Guitar Shop
McCabe's Guitar Shop has been a Santa Monica institution since 1958 — a folk-revival anchor on Pico Boulevard that became as well-known for its 150-seat back-room concert hall as for its guitar floor. The concert series alone (running since 1969) turned the shop into a destination for songwriters and fingerstyle players passing through Los Angeles. Their boutique acoustic shelves rotate around Bourgeois, Collings, and Santa Cruz alongside the deep Martin / Taylor catalog that anchors the room. A small, curated boutique presence in a shop with an outsized cultural footprint.
