The Bourgeois Eddie’s Guitars Exclusive Small Jumbo Carved Back Sunburst stands as the final instrument in a remarkable collaboration between Eddie’s Guitars and Bourgeois Guitars, a limited run of only six handcrafted masterpieces created exclusively for Eddie’s as one of Bourgeois’ premier dealers. As number six of six, this guitar represents the culmination of a vision shared between a world-class boutique shop and one of the most respected acoustic builders in modern lutherie.
At the heart of the instrument is an Aged Tone Adirondack Spruce top, paired with torrefied Adirondack bracing, a combination that captures the power, headroom, and responsiveness of a decades-old vintage guitar from the very first note. Dana Bourgeois, whose career spans more than four decades at the forefront of acoustic guitar design and voicing, has built his reputation on a meticulous understanding of tonewoods and tap-tuning techniques. His seasoned ear and relentless pursuit of tonal perfection are evident in every element of this guitar’s construction.
The Small Jumbo body features Bourgeois’ remarkable carved figured walnut back and sides, a design that blends visual elegance with tonal depth. The carved back adds dimensionality and projection, while the figured walnut delivers a balanced voice rich in clarity, warmth, and articulate midrange presence. Finished in a stunning sunburst that highlights the Adirondack grain, the guitar radiates a timeless aesthetic that feels both vintage and unmistakably modern.
The neck is crafted from figured walnut with a figured maple stringer running through its center, adding both structural beauty and subtle contrast. Ziricote bindings frame the body, fingerboard, and headstock, providing a dark, luxurious border that complements the instrument’s rich color palette. The 42 Style Soloist top purfling, paired with black and maple purfling on the back and sides, gives the guitar a refined visual rhythm that draws the eye without overwhelming the natural beauty of the woods.
Adding a distinctive artistic signature to this limited series is the Art Deco inlay package created exclusively by renowned inlay artist Andrew Olson. Known for his precision and creativity, Olson designed a cohesive set of mother-of-pearl motifs that flow from the headstock to the bridge. The MOP Art Deco headstock inlay sits just below the classic Bourgeois logo, while the fingerboard carries elegant geometric markers that echo the design language of the era. Even the ebony belly bridge features Olson’s MOP Art Deco bridge wings inlay, tying the entire instrument together as a unified artistic statement.
Premium appointments continue throughout. An ebony fingerboard and ebony headstock veneer maintain tonal purity and visual depth, while gold Waverly tuning machines with ebony buttons provide precise, smooth tuning and vintage-inspired elegance. Antique walrus ivory bridge and end pins with black dots add another level of historic detail and refinement.
The guitar is finished in high gloss across the body, neck, and headstock, allowing every contour and figure to shine. With its short 25-inch scale, 1 3/4-inch nut width, and 2 5/16-inch bridge spacing, the instrument offers a comfortable playing experience that suits both intricate fingerstyle work and dynamic flatpicking. Remarkably lightweight at just 4 pounds 8 ounces, the guitar feels alive in the player’s hands, translating subtle nuances with exceptional responsiveness.
Inside the body, a limited edition signature label marks its place in this exclusive collaboration, confirming its status as Eddie’s Guitars Exclusive Limited Edition number six of six. The instrument is housed in a Hoffee Carbon Fiber custom flight case, ensuring that this rare piece travels with the same protection and confidence as it was built.
This Small Jumbo Carved Back is more than a guitar. It is a celebration of craftsmanship, artistry, and collaboration between Eddie’s Guitars, Dana Bourgeois, and Andrew Olson. As the final instrument in this six-guitar series, it stands as a fitting finale to a limited run that embodies the very best of modern boutique acoustic design.
