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.
Miami Vintage Guitars
A shop run by players, trading since 2007 and organised into rooms rather than aisles — vintage, archtop and jazz, electric, and one given over to Jerry Garcia. The vintage and electric side is what Miami knows them for, and it won them the New Times' best-instrument-shop nod in 2014. The acoustic room is quieter and more particular than the name suggests: a standing Santa Cruz bench, Huss & Dalton alongside it, and older boutique pieces that surface and move on.
