The Bourgeois The Whyte Rabbit 000 is a breathtaking showcase of lutherie excellence, combining refined aesthetics with tonal sophistication in a short-scale 000 body. Crafted with an Italian spruce top, this guitar offers a highly responsive and articulate voice, rich in nuance and shimmer. Paired with striking curly maple back and sides, it delivers a bright, crisp tonal character with exceptional clarity and projection—perfect for fingerstyle playing, light strumming, or expressive flatpicking.

Visually, The Whyte Rabbit is a true work of art. The body is adorned with English holly binding, enhanced by black/cream purfling and finished in a stunning white gloss "Aged Tone" finish that is fully buffed on the body, neck, and headstock. A dazzling 41-style abalone purfling frames the top, while the extra vintage abalone rosette adds a luminous centerpiece around the soundhole. True to its refined elegance, there is no backstrip, allowing the curly maple to speak uninterrupted across the back.

The fingerboard is a short-scale (25") ebony design with a 14-fret configuration, making it comfortable and inviting for any player. It features exquisite Presentation-grade mother-of-pearl block inlays adorned with delicate abalone floral inlay work. This motif continues into the triple-bound English holly headstock, which sports a floral headstock inlay and a matching holly veneer, providing a seamless visual flow from body to head. The heel cap is crafted from holly as well, further unifying the instrument’s unique aesthetic language.

Tone-enhancing elements are meticulously integrated. The torrefied Adirondack braces, set with animal protein glue, ensure a responsive, vintage-inspired resonance, made even more refined by the Aged Tone bracing and finish. The English holly bridge—with detailed presentation inlays—anchors the design while supporting flawless intonation and tone transfer. Waverly gold tuners with white pearl buttons lend a classic and luxurious finishing touch.

From the bone pins with black dots to Dana Bourgeois’ signature label inside the soundhole, every detail of The Whyte Rabbit 000 reflects thoughtful craftsmanship. With its 1 3/4" nut width and 2 5/16" bridge spacing, it offers an ideal blend of comfort and playability. More than just a guitar, The Whyte Rabbit is a collector’s-grade instrument that sounds as magical as it looks—a rare and refined creation by one of the world’s most respected luthiers.
