If you’re after a boutique-style slope shoulder with real character, this Bourgeois Touchstone L-DB Standard/TS delivers in a big way.
The Sitka spruce top and Adirondack bracinggive it a lively, responsive feel with plenty of headroom, while the mahogany back and sides bring that warm, woody midrange that just sits right in a mix. It’s got that dry, vintage-inspired voice—great for fingerstyle, strumming, or singer-songwriter work.
The 25" scale and slightly slimmer nut widthmake it an easy, comfortable player, and the satin-smooth feel of the neck keeps things relaxed whether you’re on the couch or tracking in the studio.
Finished in a classic high-gloss sunburst, it leans into that old-school slope-shoulder vibe, but with the fit, finish, and consistency you’d expect from the Bourgeois/Eastman collaboration. Designed under Dana Bourgeois’ direction and finished in Maine, it’s a lot of guitar for the money.
Lightweight, resonant, and super inspiring to play—this one’s hard to put down.
