The Downeast Launch Edition AT Sitka/Walnut Slope D

This model is one of four inaugural guitars crafted to celebrate the introduction of the new Downeast Series—a significant milestone in Bourgeois' mission to bring their signature hand-voiced tone and boutique craftsmanship to more players than ever before.

Key Features:

• Short-scale, slope-shouldered dreadnought: Offers a warm, relaxed feel with a rich, expressive voice perfect for performance, recording, and songwriting.
• Walnut back and sides: Combines the warmth of mahogany with added clarity, articulation, and a blossoming midrange response.
• Torrefied Aged Tone Sitka spruce top: Provides the openness and responsiveness of a well-played vintage guitar from the very first note.
• Renowned voicing process: Ensures exceptional balance, resonance, and musicality.

Designed for Excellence

Created by Dana Bourgeois and built with tonewoods hand-selected by Dana and Master Luthier James Witkus, every Launch Edition guitar was closely supervised during the voicing process to meet the highest standards of quality and tonal response. The result is a refined yet approachable boutique instrument that embodies the spirit and accessibility of the Downeast Series.
