Bourgeois Eddie's Guitars Exclusive Small Jumbo Carved Back - Aged Tone Adirondack Spruce & Aged Tone Curly Maple - Sunburst #2 of 6 #11247

There’s a certain kind of guitar that immediately tells you it was never meant to be ordinary, and this Bourgeois Eddie’s Guitars Exclusive Small Jumbo Carved Back is exactly that. Number 2 of just 6 ever produced, this is part of a run that only Bourgeois’ top-tier dealers are even invited to commission. It is not just rare by numbers, it is rare by access.

At the center of it all is Dana Bourgeois, a builder with decades behind the bench and one of the most influential voices in modern acoustic guitar making. His approach has always balanced old-world craftsmanship with a sharp, almost scientific understanding of tone. That experience shows up everywhere here, especially in the pairing of Aged Tone Adirondack spruce and carved figured Aged Tone maple. The top delivers explosive headroom and clarity, while the carved maple back adds focus, projection, and a refined low-end that feels sculpted rather than boomy.

The torrefied Adirondack bracing works in lockstep with the top, giving the guitar a broken-in responsiveness right out of the case. Notes come off the string quickly, with a dry, mature character that players usually spend years chasing. The short 25 inch scale keeps everything comfortable and slightly elastic under the fingers, while the 1 3/4 inch nut and 2 5/16 inch spacing give you room to articulate without ever feeling oversized.

Visually, this instrument leans into something special. The fully executed sunburst across the body and neck highlights the depth of the figured maple, while ziricote bindings frame everything with a dark, dramatic edge. The 42 style soloist purfling and oval rosette add a sense of tradition, but the real personality comes from the custom Art Deco inlay theme designed by longtime Bourgeois craftsman Andrew Olson. From the bridge wings to the fingerboard and headstock, the MOP work feels cohesive and intentional, not decorative for decoration’s sake. It gives the guitar a distinct identity that stands apart from typical high-end ornamentation.

The figured Aged Tone maple neck with a rosewood stringer is both stable and visually striking, and the ebony fingerboard and belly bridge keep the response crisp and immediate. Gold Waverly tuners with ebony buttons round out the appointments with a level of refinement that matches the rest of the build. Even the details like antique walrus ivory pins and the limited edition label reinforce that this is a collector-grade piece built without compromise.

At just 4 pounds 8 ounces, it is incredibly lively in the hands. You feel the entire instrument respond to even a light touch, yet it has the power to hold together when pushed. That balance is where Bourgeois instruments really earn their reputation.

This is not just a small run guitar. It is a snapshot of what happens when a top dealer, a master builder, and a seasoned design hand all push in the same direction. One of six, and built to make sure you never forget it.
