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.
Eddie's Guitars
Eddie's Guitars is a family-owned shop in Historic Maplewood, Missouri — founded by Ed Putney in 1971 and now operated alongside his son Nathan. Their boutique acoustic catalog runs deep across the modern canon, with particular strength in Bourgeois Custom Shop, Collings, Santa Cruz, Atkin, Goodall, Huss & Dalton, and Froggy Bottom. The shop operates by appointment only, delivering a private demo experience for serious players and collectors.
