Bourgeois Eddie's Guitars Exclusive Small Jumbo Carved Back - Aged Tone Adirondack Spruce & Madagascar Rosewood - Sunburst #4 of 6 #11249

There’s a certain level where a guitar stops being a tool and starts becoming a statement. This Bourgeois Eddie’s Guitars Exclusive Small Jumbo Carved Back sits squarely in that territory. Number 4 of just 6 ever built, it represents not only extreme rarity, but the culmination of decades of refinement from Dana Bourgeois, a builder whose time behind the bench has shaped the modern understanding of what a finely voiced acoustic guitar can be.

At its core, this instrument is about control, power, and nuance. The Aged Tone Adirondack spruce top delivers the kind of headroom and dynamic range that only the best red spruce can offer, while the torrefied Adirondack bracing brings a responsiveness and maturity that feels broken-in from the first note. Pair that with carved Madagascar rosewood back and sides, and you get a voice that is deep and authoritative, yet incredibly focused. The carved back adds a level of projection and clarity that sets this Small Jumbo apart from anything built with traditional construction.

The feel is just as intentional. A figured Aged Tone maple neck with a rosewood stringer provides stability and a subtle visual contrast, while the short 25 inch scale keeps the guitar comfortable and slightly more relaxed under the fingers. It is responsive without being stiff, articulate without ever feeling tight.

Visually, this guitar leans hard into its identity as a limited Dealer Exclusive. Bourgeois reserves builds like this for its top partners, and it shows in every detail. The Art Deco inlay theme, designed by Andrew Olson, runs cohesively from the headstock to the bridge, executed in mother of pearl with a precision that feels architectural rather than ornamental. It is bold, but never loud.

Ziricote bindings frame the instrument with dramatic contrast, while the 42 Style Soloist top purfling and matching black and maple accents on the back and sides add layers of depth the closer you look. The oval Soloist rosette keeps things refined and balanced, allowing the rest of the design language to breathe.

Every material choice reinforces the premium nature of the build. Ebony is used throughout for the fingerboard, belly bridge, and headstock veneer, grounding the instrument with a classic, no-compromise foundation. Gold Waverly tuners with ebony buttons provide smooth, reliable performance with a vintage aesthetic, and the antique walrus ivory bridge and end pins add a subtle nod to traditional high-end craftsmanship.

The sunburst top is executed with restraint and taste, highlighting the grain of the Adirondack spruce rather than covering it, and the high gloss finish across the body, neck, and headstock ties everything together with a deep, reflective sheen.

At just 4 pounds 10 ounces, it is remarkably lively in the hands. Every note feels immediate, every nuance translates, and the guitar seems to respond as much to intention as it does to attack.

Finished with a Limited Edition signature label and housed in a Hoffee carbon fiber custom flight case, this is not just a guitar you acquire. It is one you hold onto.

Six were made. This is number four. That alone says a lot. The sound says even more.
