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 Willcutt Guitars
Willcutt Guitars has run out of Lexington, Kentucky's Beaumont Center since the mid-1990s, operating as one of the larger online guitar dealers in the country. The catalog runs wide across Fender, Gibson, PRS, Martin, and Taylor, with substantial custom-shop content from each — but the boutique-acoustic shelf sits at the heart of the shop, anchored by an unusually deep Collings inventory that includes much of the current production lineup plus a steady rotation of pre-owned and signature models. Santa Cruz, Bourgeois, and Larrivée round out the acoustic floor, with periodic Preston Thompson, McPherson, Goodall, Lowden, and Pre-War listings. For Collings shoppers in particular, Willcutt is one of the deepest single-dealer catalogs in the US.
