If you have been looking for that classic, slope-shoulder "thump" with the precision of a boutique build, this Touchstone Series Slope Shoulder Dreadnought is going to blow you away. This guitar features a torrefied Sitka Spruce soundboard that was hand-selected and voiced by Dana Bourgeois and his team in Lewiston, Maine. By pairing those Adirondack Spruce braces with solid mahogany back and sides, you get a guitar that is incredibly warm and punchy, offering a vintage, broken-in character that usually takes decades to develop.

The playability here is second to none, featuring a 25" scale length that gives the guitar a slightly more comfortable, "slinky" feel compared to your standard long-scale dreadnought. The mahogany neck leads to a beautiful Ziricote fingerboard, which is not only stunning to look at but provides a glass-smooth surface for your fretting hand. With a bone nut and saddle, along with those top-tier Schaller Grand Tune nickel tuners, every string vibration is transferred directly into the top for maximum resonance and rock-solid tuning stability.

What really makes this SDS/TS stand out is how it balances that massive dreadnought power with the clarity Bourgeois is famous for. The high gloss sunburst finish is applied with a thinness that allows the guitar to breathe and bark, making it just as capable for heavy flatpicking as it is for delicate singer-songwriter accompaniment. It is a professional-grade workhorse that captures the essence of Dana’s legendary designs, giving you a world-class slope shoulder that is ready to hit the stage or the studio.
