A rare convergence of artistry, heritage, and uncompromising craftsmanship, the Bourgeois Eddie’s Guitars Exclusive Small Jumbo Carved Back #3 of 6 stands as a true collector’s instrument and a player’s dream. This limited run of just six guitars channels the vision and experience of Dana Bourgeois, whose decades behind the bench have shaped him into one of the most respected voices in modern lutherie. Every curve, brace, and voicing decision reflects a lifetime dedicated to extracting the very best from fine tonewoods.
At the heart of this instrument is a mastergrade Adirondack spruce top, paired with a hand-carved Madagascar rosewood back and sides. The carved back is not just visually striking, it adds a level of projection and tonal complexity that feels alive in your hands. Inside, aged tone torrefied Adirondack bracing delivers the responsiveness and openness of a well-played vintage guitar from the very first note. The result is a voice that is powerful yet refined, with a deep piano-like low end, articulate mids, and shimmering, controlled highs.
The figured maple neck with a rosewood stringer provides both stability and elegance, while the short 25 inch scale enhances playability with a slightly softer feel under the fingers. Every tactile detail has been considered, from the ebony fingerboard and belly bridge to the smooth 1 3/4 inch nut width and comfortable 2 5/16 inch bridge spacing.
Visually, this guitar is nothing short of breathtaking. Andrew Olson’s full Art Deco inspired inlay package transforms the instrument into a functional piece of fine art. Ziricote bindings frame the body, fingerboard, and headstock with rich contrast, while the 42 Style Soloist top purfling and black and maple back and side purfling add depth and sophistication. The oval Soloist rosette anchors the design with understated elegance. Mother of pearl Art Deco inlays sweep across the bridge wings, fingerboard, and headstock, joined by the Bourgeois logo inlay, creating a cohesive aesthetic that feels both vintage and timelessly modern.
Gold Waverly tuning machines with ebony buttons provide precise, reliable tuning while complementing the instrument’s luxurious appointments. Antique walrus ivory bridge and end pins with black dots add a final touch of traditional refinement. The entire guitar is finished in a high gloss body, neck, and headstock finish that enhances the natural beauty of the woods while offering lasting protection.
Weighing in at just 4 pounds 13 ounces, this Small Jumbo is remarkably responsive and resonant, making it equally suited for nuanced fingerstyle work or dynamic flatpicking. Each note blooms with clarity and sustain, inviting you to explore its full expressive range.
Housed in a Hoffee carbon fiber custom flight case and bearing a limited edition signature label, this Eddie’s Guitars exclusive is more than an instrument. It is a statement of what is possible when master craftsmanship, inspired design, and exceptional materials come together without compromise. One of only six in existence, and a standout example at that, #3 is a piece that will be cherished for generations.
