Sound Pure's Take

Boucher delivers another stunning example of what a dreadnought should look, play, and sound like. The torrefied mastergrade Adirondack spruce top is warm and open, while still providing all of the volume and power one would expect from Adirondack. The East Indian Rosewood adds in a bit of sweetness and lush overtone content that gives this guitar an unmistakably rich tone. This beauty has great bass response and an overall clarity in the higher frequencies that's sure to delight any picker. Robin Boucher's unbelievable craftmanship and world class attention to detail are on full display with this special Bluegrass Goose.

From Boucher Guitars

Our BG-52 is crafted and engineered to meet the very high requirements of bluegrass guitarists performing live or in the recording studio. Our guitars offer a large presence on stage due to the method of construction and choices of woods. The BG-52 is as “present” as all other bluegrass instruments whether you are strumming or soloing.
Robin Boucher personally selects Adirondack red spruce for the bracing and soundboard in order to give the instrument its special bluegrass sonority. Rich low ends, driving mids and beefy highs describe the sound spectrum of our Bluegrass Goose. This guitar is incredibly easy to play due to the elevated soundboard radius and the unique profile of the neck which will perfectly match the hand of the guitarist.
