  The Soloist/TS Launch Edition marks the debut of a new era for Bourgeois’ celebrated Soloist model, now available for the first time in their Touchstone Series. Built on Dana Bourgeois’ legendary Soloist platform, the OM cutaway (OMC), which helped define the modern fingerstyle guitar.
  The Soloist/TS Launch Edition features a hand-voiced Lutz spruce top, paired with ebony back and sides. offering a tonal blend of warmth, clarity, and dynamic headroom. This limited edition wood combination produces rich overtones, long sustain, and a clear, articulate bass response, perfect for expressive fingerstyle playing or delicate rhythm work that supports vocals without overwhelming them.

  Drawing inspiration from the elegant body styles of the Depression era, The Touchstone Standard captures a sense of authenticity and vintage charm. This timeless design and spirit is beautifully evoked with Bourgeois' classic slope-shoulder dreadnought. Elegant throwback appointments make it a true homage to tradition.
  The Standard's torrefied Sitka spruce soundboard delivers a warm, aged tone right out of the box, with dynamic response and clarity that only deepens over time. A sound that is as versatile as it is rich—perfect for strumming, fingerpicking, and everything in between.
  Paired with mahogany back and sides, the result is a balanced, versatile voice perfect for everything from gentle fingerpicking to robust strumming.

  This limited-edition model is exclusive to Bourgeois' Touchstone Series. 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.
