✅ Why You’ll Love This Guitar

The OM Vintage / TS is one of those guitars that can genuinely do it all.

The Orchestra Model body is comfortable to hold while offering excellent projection and tonal balance. The combination of Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood provides the familiar warmth and power of a traditional rosewood acoustic while maintaining the clarity and responsiveness needed for detailed fingerstyle playing.

Whether you’re a fingerstyle player, flatpicker, singer-songwriter, or simply looking for a high-end acoustic that can cover a lot of ground, this Bourgeois is an exceptional choice.

And perhaps most importantly, it has the voice of a Bourgeois.

✅ Why We Chose This Guitar

There are plenty of excellent acoustic guitars available in this price range.

There are far fewer that offer this combination of all-solid woods, boutique-level construction, hand-voiced Bourgeois soundboard, Indian Rosewood, and an OM body design.

That’s what makes the Touchstone Series so compelling.

The OM Vintage / TS delivers much of what experienced players look for in a high-end boutique guitar—response, balance, tonal complexity, dynamic range and craftsmanship—without the price tag normally associated with a hand-built Bourgeois guitar.

For Tobias Music, this is exactly the kind of guitar we love to offer: a serious player’s instrument that delivers far more than its price would suggest.

✅ Our Expert Opinion

The OM is one of our favorite acoustic guitar body shapes because of its versatility.

It’s large enough to produce impressive volume and low-end authority, yet compact enough to remain comfortable for extended playing. It has become a favorite among players who want one guitar that works equally well for fingerstyle, flatpicking, accompanying vocals, and general acoustic playing.

The Indian Rosewood adds depth and harmonic complexity, while the Sitka Spruce top provides plenty of headroom and a broad dynamic range.

But the real magic is in the voicing.

Bourgeois guitars are known for their exceptional balance and responsiveness, and the Touchstone OM Vintage / TS carries that philosophy into a much more accessible instrument.

✅ The Bourgeois Touchstone Difference

This is what makes the Touchstone Series so special.

The guitars are the result of a genuine collaboration between Dana Bourgeois and his team in Lewiston, Maine, and the skilled builders at Eastman in Beijing.

The process begins in Maine, where the soundboards are carefully selected and hand-voiced by the Bourgeois team. Bourgeois’ renowned voicing process involves carefully evaluating the natural characteristics of the wood and shaping the bracing to achieve the desired tonal response.

The prepared and voiced components then make their way to Eastman’s Beijing facility, where the guitars are assembled and finished using established Bourgeois specifications and construction techniques.

This combination gives the Touchstone Series something very unusual:

Bourgeois tonal philosophy and hand-voiced soundboards combined with Eastman’s exceptional manufacturing capabilities.

It’s a smart approach that makes boutique-level design and craftsmanship available to considerably more guitar players.

In our opinion, the Touchstone Series represents one of the most interesting values in the boutique acoustic guitar market.

The balanced OM voice supports vocals beautifully without overwhelming the singer.

The Boutique Guitar Player

The Serious Acoustic Guitarist

If you’re looking for an instrument that can remain your primary acoustic guitar for years to come, this is a very compelling choice.

✅ Tobias Music Insight

This is one of those guitars that makes you question how they managed to build it at this price.

We’ve spent decades working with high-end acoustic guitars, and we’ve seen firsthand what separates a good production guitar from a truly exceptional instrument.

The Touchstone Series takes a different approach.

The soundboard isn’t simply selected and sent down the production line. It receives the attention of the Bourgeois team in Maine, where it is voiced and optimized for musical response before the guitar is completed at Eastman.

That attention to the most important part of an acoustic guitar—the soundboard—is a major reason these guitars have such an impressive voice.

The OM Vintage / TS is an especially appealing combination. The comfortable OM body, solid Sitka top and Indian Rosewood body provide a classic tonal recipe, while the Bourgeois voicing gives the guitar a distinctive level of balance and responsiveness.

This is boutique guitar thinking applied to a remarkably attainable instrument.
