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.
The Six-String Collective
The Six-String Collective is a young UK dealer, launched in 2024 as a home for luthier-built guitars from British and international makers. It works as much like a curated consignment marketplace as a traditional shop — bringing together buyers, sellers, and the luthiers themselves — and its founders came to it from more than a decade in the instrument trade, several of those years at the forefront of the boutique world. The catalog pairs established names like Tom Sands, Lowden, Collings, Santa Cruz, and McPherson with a strong bench of British and European builders — Taran, Ralph Bown, O'Gorman, Oska Burman — several of them low-volume makers whose instruments rarely reach the open market. New and pre-owned instruments sit side by side, with the emphasis on personal service.
