Bourgeois JRA 1999– Handmade Rosewood Jumbo

Bourgeois JRA (1999) – Handmade Rosewood Jumbo – Dana Bourgeois Era – Excellent Condition

This Bourgeois JRA 1999 — also searched as Bourgeois JRA Jumbo, Bourgeois Rosewood Jumbo, or Dana Bourgeois JRA — is a handcrafted acoustic guitar from the highly respected early Dana Bourgeois era, built during a period when his reputation for exceptional craftsmanship was already firmly established.

Featuring a solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides, this JRA delivers a powerful yet balanced voice with deep bass, rich overtones, and remarkable clarity. The jumbo-inspired body design offers the projection and low-end authority of a larger guitar while maintaining excellent note definition and responsiveness, making it equally suited for fingerstyle, flatpicking, and accompaniment work.

The guitar features scalloped X-bracing, contributing to its open, dynamic character and impressive resonance. A mahogany neck with a comfortable soft V profile and ebony fingerboard provide a smooth and inspiring playing experience.

This Bourgeois JRA (1999) is in excellent condition, especially for its age, showing only minimal signs of use, primarily light wear on the body and pickguard. It has been well cared for and remains a superb example of a sought-after Bourgeois acoustic from the Dana Bourgeois era.

Includes hardshell case and certificate.
