Sound Pure's Take
This Bourgeois Touchstone SD Standard is a beautifully balanced, slope-shoulder dreadnought that blends vintage warmth with modern refinement. Its Aged Tone Sitka spruce top delivers quick response and a sweet, already-open character, while mahogany back and sides add focused clarity and a rich, woody midrange that feels perfect for both strumming and fingerstyle. The ebony fingerboard and ziricote bridge give a smooth, confident feel, accented by elegant ivoroid binding and classic herringbone purfling. Finished in a rich high-gloss and built with Bourgeois precision, this SD Standard is a serious long-term investment—crafted to mature gracefully and inspire for decades.
From Bourgeois Guitars
The Standard breathes new life into a classic design that has earned its reputation as the “workhorse” of acoustic guitars. Whether you’re a road warrior chasing smoky bar room vibes or a finger-style player seeking warmth and balance, The Standard delivers rugged dependability with an unmistakable aesthetic.
Drawing inspiration from the elegant body styles of the Depression era, The Touchstone Standard captures a sense of authenticity and vintage charm. This timeless design and spirit is beautifully evoked with our classic slope-shoulder dreadnought. Elegant throwback appointments make it a true homage to tradition.
