This large-bodied Touchstone The Standard Slope D takes you back to the classic era of American guitar making, but with a modern twist typical of Dana Bourgeois' vision. The combination of mahogany back and sides and Sitka spruce top with scalloped X-bracing provides a warm, well-balanced tone with more than enough volume and projection, befitting a guitar of this size.
The rich sunburst finish complements the classic look, while details such as the ivoroid binding, multi-line purfling and firestripe pickguard give this model a distinctive elegance. The mahogany V-neck with Ziricote fingerboard and bridge offers a comfortable playing experience with excellent intonation throughout the 25" scale. This wood combination not only gives the guitar visual appeal, but also contributes to the rich overtones and responsive touch that singer-songwriters will appreciate.
Built in Lewiston, Maine using Dana Bourgeois' proven torrefaction process for aging the top, this Touchstone guitar offers the tone and playing experience of a much more expensive custom guitar. The Schaller GrandTune tuners with ivoroid buttons provide excellent tuning stability and enhance the vintage character. Whether you're a fan of fingerstyle, flatpicking or strumming, this Bourgeois will amaze you with its versatility and character - especially with the natural aging that will only make this guitar better over the years.
