  The Bourgeois HSV-D features extraordinary Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, showcasing a stunning palette of colors: from deep browns to reddish hues, with distinctive spider webbing and a striking sapwood center. The Brazilian Rosewood on this guitar has a unique provenance: it was acquired by Dana Bourgeois from the estate of the late Don Sharp, a legendary master luthier. Don Sharp, who tragically passed away in November 2021, was celebrated for his exquisite custom handmade acoustic guitars, including his renowned harp guitars valued between $8,000 and $12,000. His legacy of craftsmanship adds a rich historical significance to this exceptional instrument.
  Paired with an Adirondack Spruce top, this guitar delivers amazing power, clarity, and responsiveness. The Adirondack top, famous for its wide dynamic range, gives you crisp attack and sparkling trebles that shine whether you’re flatpicking or fingerpicking. It's a guitar that not only looks incredible but sounds just as inspiring.

Salvaged from the ancient Koa forests of the Big Island of Hawaii, the Hawaiian Country Boy’s Koa backs and sides sound as good as they look, offering a rich midrange and a touch of island warmth that will deepen over time. Dana Bourgeois has personally selected each old-growth Bearclaw Sitka Spruce top in this series. Chosen for their bright and responsive tap tones, each one was hand-voiced at Dana’s small workshop in Maine. By combining the warmth of Island Koa with the sparkle of winter spruce, the Touchstone Hawaiian Country Boy has been designed to respond equally well to delicate fingerpicking and lively strumming.

Upgraded wtih an Adirondack Spruce top and 1-3/4" nut width.
The square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought is the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar body shape in the world. While Collings is certainly not the only company to build them, they bring a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth usually associated with such a large, deep-bodied guitar. Although its bass response makes the dreadnought ideal for vocal accompaniment, Collings versions are also often employed by bluegrass flatpickers who must compete with inherently louder instruments such as banjos and fiddles.

  The square-shouldered, 14-fret dreadnought is the poster boy of acoustic guitar body shapes. It's classic, but above all, practical. While Collings is certainly not the only company to build them, they bring a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth usually associated with such a large, deep-bodied guitar.
  Although its bass response makes the dreadnought ideal for vocal accompaniment, Collings versions are also often employed by bluegrass flatpickers who must compete with inherently louder instruments such as banjos and fiddles. Simply put, the Collings D1 will get the job done, and with grace and humility.
