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.

A few years back a wonderful man named Robin Boucher drove to Sound Pure studios all the way from Canada. In his back seat, nestled in lovely tweed cases, he had some of the finest acoustic guitars to ever cross our northern border. We became immediate friends and his work was mind-blowing. The clarity of the tone, the immaculate fit and finish, the effortless playability. To top it all off, Robin got his start as a WOOD DEALER. He happens to live in an Adirondack red spruce forest!
