Luke Bryan‘s officially in the guitar business thanks to his collaboration with Bourgeois Guitars.
More than a decade ago, Luke asked founder Dana Bourgeois if the walnut trees on his Tennessee farm were suitable for making guitars. When he responded affirmatively, they picked out the specific trees, and the wood’s been curing for the past 10 years.
The Luke Bryan Signature Limited Edition is the result, made of Flint Rock Farms Black Walnut, and featuring a custom antler inlay pattern on the fretboard and headstock. There are only 30 of the guitars up for grabs, all numbered and signed by Luke. They start at about $9,000.
If you’re looking for a less pricey option, the Luke Bryan Touchstone Edition is virtually identical to the more rare version, though the black walnut wasn’t grown on Luke’s farm.
