Bourgeois Guitars
|  |
Dana Bourgeois began building guitars over 35 years
ago (I have fond memories of visiting his shop along the coast of
Maine in 1984 or so). Since then, Bourgeois Guitars
have become widely known and extremely well respected. The Bourgeois shop is fairly small, but nevertheless offers an enticing selection of body styles coupled with premium woods. Bourgeois guitars have a strong and loyal following among contemporary players as well as traditionalists.
