Dana Bourgeois has posted a video in which he describes how he selects tops to use in his guitars. It was filmed at his shop in Lewiston, Maine located in an old mill that pre-dates the US Civil War.
Bourgeois chooses each piece of wood to be used in his guitars, which are still handmade by expert artisans.
These guitars have made some solid inroads among bluegrass artists, with Ricky Skaggs, Jamie Dailey, and Bryan Sutton being highly visible endorsers.
