The Bourgeois The Whyte Rabbit SJ Carved Back is one of those rare instruments where vision, tradition, and fearless craftsmanship collide.

At the heart of it all is Dana Bourgeois, a builder whose name is synonymous with tonal authority and uncompromising detail. For decades, Dana has refined the art of voicing tops, tapping braces, and extracting every ounce of potential from old growth tonewoods. The Whyte Rabbit is not just another model. It is a statement piece, a culmination of his deep understanding of American acoustic design filtered through his willingness to push aesthetics into bold, almost surreal territory.

The Adirondack spruce top is everything you would expect from Bourgeois. Powerful. Elastic. Alive. Paired with Aged Tone Adirondack spruce braces, it delivers explosive headroom and crystalline articulation, yet retains the sensitivity to respond to a whisper. This is a top built to move air with authority, whether you are flatpicking hard or playing with a delicate touch.

The carved curly maple back and sides elevate this SJ into a visual and tonal spectacle. Maple offers focus and projection, but here it is refined and sculpted, adding dimension and depth to the voice. The carved back enhances note separation and clarity, giving the guitar a piano like fundamental that stays clean under pressure. A figured maple neck continues the theme, creating a cohesive, luminous look from headstock to tail.

The detailing is where The Whyte Rabbit becomes unforgettable. English holly binding wraps the body, fingerboard, and headstock with a crisp, bright frame. The single ring ivoroid on end rosette and absence of a backstrip keep the lines clean and intentional. Black, ivoroid, and white purfling provides contrast without clutter.

The English holly headstock veneer crowned with a floral inlay feels both vintage and dreamlike. On the 14 fret ebony fretboard, presentation mother of pearl blocks intertwine with abalone floral inlay work that feels almost orchestral in its elegance. The English holly rectangular bridge with presentation inlays continues the visual narrative. Waverly gold tuners with white pearl buttons complete the aesthetic with understated class.

This guitar is assembled with animal protein glue, a nod to traditional construction that maximizes resonance and long term tonal development. The transparent white gloss finish, fully buffed across body, neck, and headstock, gives the instrument an ethereal glow that shifts in the light. It feels alive before you ever play a note.

With a short 25 inch scale, 1 3/4 inch nut width, and 2 5/16 inch bridge spacing, the playability is inviting and expressive. At just 4 pounds 9 ounces, it is remarkably comfortable in the hands, yet it delivers the kind of tonal authority you expect from a large bodied instrument.

The Dana Bourgeois signature label inside is more than branding. It is a mark of accountability and mastery.

The Whyte Rabbit SJ Carved Back is not for someone who wants to blend in. It is for the player who understands that tone and artistry matter equally. If you are going to own a showpiece, make sure it is one that backs up its beauty with substance. This one does.
