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.
Peach Guitars
Peach Guitars opened in 1991 in a Braintree craft centre — initially selling guitars alongside metal detectors — before founder Derek Peachey hired blues player John Priest, who eventually took over with his father Alan. In 2017 the business consolidated into a 2-floor superstore on Colchester's Severalls Industrial Estate, now displaying over 1,500 guitars. A western-themed showroom called the Peach Saloon, with stage and bar, hosts in-store events; each shipped guitar receives inspection and a professional setup.
