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.
McCabe's Guitar Shop
McCabe's Guitar Shop has been a Santa Monica institution since 1958 — a folk-revival anchor on Pico Boulevard that became as well-known for its 150-seat back-room concert hall as for its guitar floor. The concert series alone (running since 1969) turned the shop into a destination for songwriters and fingerstyle players passing through Los Angeles. Their boutique acoustic shelves rotate around Bourgeois, Collings, and Santa Cruz alongside the deep Martin / Taylor catalog that anchors the room. A small, curated boutique presence in a shop with an outsized cultural footprint.
