A standout piece at the 2024 NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA this year, this striking custom SJ from Bourgeois Guitars has the pizazz and elegance that harkens back to the early turn of the century guitars from Larson Brothers, Orville Gibson and others. This vintage inspired small jumbo pairs an Aged Tone torrefied Adirondack Spruce black top with Mahogany back and sides with red Cordovan stain and full Ivoroid bindings to highlight all the edges. The oval sound hole (surprising enough is as large as the round large sound hole) was used by Orville Gibson other builders on early mandolins and guitars. The backlit Tortoise ‘Butterfly’ pickguard, headstock overlay and ring rosette add to the classic look reminiscent to those found on Italian mandolins and early Gibson and Larson Brothers builds.
With a comfortable 15 3/8″ lower bout, the 25″ short scale length makes this feel right at home with the volume, depth and clarity you would expect. Other features include Mahogany neck with matching Cordovan stain, Ebony fretboard and bridge, Nickel Waverly tuners with tortoise buttons, Ivoroid oval fretboard inlays and logo, 1 23/32″ nut width and more.
Includes hardshell case and Lifetime Warranty.
