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 The Fellowship of Acoustics
The Fellowship of Acoustics (TFOA) is a destination acoustic shop in Dedemsvaart, eastern Netherlands, run by Rudi Bults and his family since 2001 — what started as a barn-side business has grown into one of Europe's largest specialty guitar shops, housed since 2015 in a former town hall ("Villa Dina") that holds upwards of a thousand guitars. From the start, TFOA bet on selling worldwide in English from a small Dutch town, focused entirely on quality handmade instruments rather than mass-market volume. The villa houses retail, a luthier workshop with their "Gold Standard" setup and a PLEK machine for precision fret work, plus a small theatre and a music school under the same roof. Their boutique acoustic shelves run deep on Bourgeois, Collings, Santa Cruz, Lowden, Furch, Goodall, and Huss & Dalton, alongside a strong vintage and consigned catalog.
