We’re delighted to announce that Zenith Music is the exclusive WA dealer for the Bourgeois Touchstone collection, including both guitars and mandolins.
About the Touchstone Series
This collection is the result of a collaboration between Dana Bourgeois and Eastman Music. Each instrument’s top is carefully selected and hand-voiced in Lewiston, Maine by Dana and his team, before it is sent to Eastman, where the instrument is brought to life in the finishing shop—resulting in honest tone, reliable playability, and that unmistakable Bourgeois character.
Now available from Zenith Music
Guitars
- Bourgeois Touchstone Country Boy OM Guitar
A nod to Bourgeois’s enduring Country Boy line, this OM-style guitar has a hand-voiced old-growth Sitka spruce top and genuine mahogany back and sides—a balanced blend of warmth and clarity for both workshop sessions and performances - Bourgeois Touchstone The Standard Slope Dreadnought Guitar
Inspired by Depression-era designs, the Slope Dreadnought offers a timeless aesthetic with torrefied Sitka spruce top, mahogany back, and 14-fret mahogany neck—voiced for rugged dependability and rich, vintage character
Mandolins
- Bourgeois M5A Black-Top Mandolin
An A-style mandolin with a striking gloss-black Adirondack spruce top, vintage ivoroid binding, custom Bill James tailpiece, and expressing beautiful warmth and clarity thanks to torrefied construction - Bourgeois M5F Black-Top Mandolin
The F-style counterpart to the M5A-BT, featuring the same fully torrefied construction and elegant aesthetic (also available via your listings). - Bourgeois M5O Black-Top Octave Mandolin
An octave mandolin with similar premium specifications, it delivers a rich, resonant voice that adds a new dimension to mandolin tone
For many players, Bourgeois guitars and mandolins have represented an ideal—but one that was often out of reach. The Touchstone Series keeps the soul and detail of Dana’s designs intact, while making these instruments more accessible
