Touchstone Series Vintage Dreadnought
"With a name suggested by Ricky Skaggs in the late 90’s, the Country Boy features a AAAA grade Sitka Spruce top paired with premium Mahogany back and sides to create a versatile platform agreeable with any playing style." - From the Bourgeois Website
In collaboration with the fine luthiers at Eastman, the Bourgeois Touchstone series brings a new flavor to the world of acoustic guitars. With the tops selected and built by Bourgeois and bodies constructed by Eastman, these guitars exhibit all of the tonal excellence that comes with both of those brands. They are a perfect mix of durability and sonic prowess, making them an excellent daily driver.
Above all else, this Country Boy dreadnought is a great sounding workhorse guitar. The instrument feels incredibly solid and durable. In addition to this, the semi-gloss neck and full gloss body give it a very comfortable feel. The neck features a soft "V" carve that has a tinge of vintage feel without being too extreme.
Aside from its durability, this model exhibits quite an inspiring sound. Just like most dreadnoughts, flat picking and chord strumming are right at home. It was evident that the guitar also had a healthy midrange content that could still speak well at the lower volume often associated with finger picking.
All things considered, the Bourgeois Country Boy dreadnought is an excellent choice for a player seeking a very high quality acoustic guitar build without getting into the boutique guitar price range. Sturdy, comfortable and great sounding, this guitar is bound to be in one's arsenal as their every day gigging guitar.
