- Bourgeois Guitars - Bourgeois Guitars, created by guitar maker Dana Bourgeois, is a top American guitar brand, alongside Collings and Santa Cruz. The guitars are made using caref ully selected materials, solid technical skills, and designs born from Dana's extensive experience, and they combine ``high precision as instruments'' with ``a rich, musical tone,'' earning them high praise from many musicians. - Downeast Series Launch Edition - The Downeast Series is a new lineup from the Beaujois brand, with all processes carried out at Eastman based on Dana Beaujois's strict standards. The Eastman craftsmen working on this series regularly visit the Beaujois workshop in the United States to receive direct instruction in Beaujois's unique voicing (tuning the guitar top) technique from Dana Beaujois and master luthier James Witkus. After two years of hands-on training and countless prototypes, the Down East series was finally born, with every process completed entirely by Eastman. The name Downeast Series comes from a maritime term from the coast of Maine, where Beaujois Atelier is located. It evokes the region's craft traditions, tenacity, and maritime sophistication, and pays homage to the voyage he and Eastman shared that gave birth to the instrument. This product was created without any compromise, from its conception to its design and actual production. It is the culmination of collaboration between Eastman and Beaujois, and is a dream series that has made the Beaujois sound available to many players. The commemorative first shipment of this series will be called the Launch Edition, and will feature tonewoods personally selected and meticulously inspected by Dana himself. The Launch Edition is limited to 125 units worldwide, of which only 28 will be available in Japan. Don't miss your chance to purchase this extremely rare and valuable guitar. - Hawaiian Country Boy/DE GAC - This model, named Hawaiian Country Boy, is based on Martin's 18 series and uses Hawaiian Koa for the sides and back. The body size is Beaujois' original Grand Auditorium (GA) shape. Unlike the GA body of guitars like the Taylor, this guitar has a thinner body, making it very comfortable to hold. It also has a fuller low end and quicker picking response than the OM or 000 sizes, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles, from fingerstyle to flatpick. The Hawaiian Koa back and sides give it a brighter, more vibrant tone than the 18-style mahogany, making it a very appealing instrument! The Down East Series guitars that have just arrived in our store were carefully selected one by one from the large stock of guitars by Hartman Guitars floor chief Akita, who visited the Eastman factory at the end of November 2025. We carefully select each guitar, from the wood grain on the top and back to the subtle differences in sound. This is definitely a recommended product in both looks and sound!
