Bourgeois Eddie's Guitars Exclusive Small Jumbo Carved Back - Adirondack Spruce & Figured Walnut #5 of 6 #11250

Few names in the world of acoustic guitars carry the same weight and reverence as Bourgeois Guitars founder Dana Bourgeois. After decades behind the bench refining his craft, Dana has become one of the most respected voices in modern boutique guitar building, blending pre-war inspiration with a relentlessly refined understanding of tone, responsiveness, and musicality. Every Bourgeois instrument reflects that lifetime pursuit, and this Eddie’s Guitars Exclusive Small Jumbo Carved Back stands as a remarkable example of what happens when artistry, innovation, and elite craftsmanship converge.

Created exclusively for Eddie's Guitars, Bourgeois Guitars’ premier dealer, this extraordinary limited run was produced in a microscopic edition of only six instruments worldwide. This particular guitar is #5 of 6, making it not only a stunning player’s instrument, but an exceptionally collectible piece from one of the most admired names in contemporary lutherie.

Visually, the guitar is arresting before a single note is played. The master-grade Adirondack Spruce top glows with understated elegance, its tight grain and subtle silk hinting at the immense headroom and dynamic range waiting beneath the surface. Paired with the carved Figured Walnut back and sides, the instrument takes on an almost sculptural quality. The carved back adds both visual depth and tonal complexity, helping the Small Jumbo body produce a voice that feels larger than its dimensions while maintaining exceptional focus and balance. The figured walnut ripples dramatically across the back, creating a three-dimensional shimmer that changes with every angle of light.

The Small Jumbo body shape itself strikes an ideal middle ground between power and intimacy. It delivers the richness and low-end authority players often seek from larger-bodied guitars, yet retains the articulation, immediacy, and comfort that make smaller instruments feel so alive in the hands. Combined with Bourgeois’ Aged Tone torrefied Adirondack bracing, the guitar responds with breathtaking openness and maturity, offering the seasoned character of a well-played vintage instrument from the very first chord.

Every detail throughout the build reflects the uncompromising nature of this limited edition. The figured walnut neck with its figured maple stringer flows seamlessly into ziricote bindings that frame the body, fingerboard, and headstock with elegant contrast. The 42 Style Soloist top purfling alongside the black and maple back and side purfling adds a refined vintage-inspired sophistication, while the Oval Soloist rosette anchors the design with quiet confidence.

Ebony appointments throughout provide both tonal clarity and visual depth, from the fingerboard and belly bridge to the ebony headstock veneer. The Mother-of-Pearl Art Deco inlays across the bridge wings, fingerboard, and headstock elevate the instrument into true heirloom territory, complemented beautifully by the iconic Bourgeois headstock inlay. Gold Waverly tuning machines with ebony buttons complete the aesthetic with understated luxury.

Even the tactile details speak to the care invested in this instrument. The short 25" scale offers a supple, responsive playing feel, while the 1 3/4" nut width and 2 5/16" bridge spacing provide generous room for fingerstyle precision and articulate flatpicking alike. At just 4 lbs 8 oz, the guitar feels incredibly resonant and alive against the body, enhanced further by the full high gloss finish package that allows every figured surface to radiate with depth and dimension.

From its Limited Edition signature label to the included Hoffee Carbon Fiber custom flight case, every aspect of this Bourgeois Eddie’s Guitars Exclusive communicates rarity, refinement, and uncompromising craftsmanship. It is not simply a boutique acoustic guitar; it is a deeply expressive instrument built at the highest level by one of the great living American luthiers, created in vanishingly small numbers for players and collectors who recognize something truly special when they see it.
