Your granddaddy's D-28 this is not! What if you could combine the churchbell profundity and punch of a traditional dread with the shimmer and radiance of a modern flattop? Here it is! It's unreal how powerful the mids and low end are while still being taught, focused, and not overpowering. Glassy, singing highs that sustain for days. An inviting, fast neck despite the fact that this is Robin Boucher's more traditional-style dreadnought. You gotta tip your hat to Robin for the tonewoods alone, much less the masterful construction--good luck finding a Mastergrade Addy/Madagascar (properly cured and cut, direct from Madagascar, that is!) dread for anywhere near this price! Just fantastic!
In this video, Sound Pure acoustic guitar specialist Barret Brooks compares 2 Boucher Bluegrass Goose acoustics: and OMH and a Dreadnought. Both guitars have Adirondack spruce tops and Brazilian Rosewood back/sides.

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!
