The Luke Bryan Signature Limited Edition is a short-scale Slope Shoulder Dreadnought handcrafted by Bourgeois in Lewiston, Maine. Built from select Eastern Black Walnut harvested on Luke Bryan’s own Flint Rock Farms, each guitar is a one-of-a-kind creation, and each label is hand-signed by Luke.
Luke invited Dana Bourgeois to his Tennessee property, Flint Rock Farm, where the ridge above his homestead is lined with mature Eastern Black Walnut. Together, the two walked the ridge, tagged trees, and later selected choice boards at the sawmill where Luke’s timber was being processed.
Those boards, carefully cured in Dana’s workshop for a decade, are now ready for their purpose.
A torrefied Maine Adirondack spruce top complements the walnut back and sides, creating a tonal blend that is both powerful and nuanced—offering the punchy, sparkling midrange that walnut famously delivers. Custom mother-of-pearl antler inlays adorn the Madagascar Rosewood fretboard as well as the headstock.
The consensus here in the shop is that - no surprise - this guitar is a singer/songwriter's dream! Enough power and complexity to inspire but still with enough headroom to keep the vocals on top.
