Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Noes: The setup was confirmed as ideal when the guitar arrived to us, and the instrument has been passed through as being in ideal cosmetic and playing shape.

From Boucher Guitars

Our HG-46 is crafted for the best tonal results. It will deliver mids and bass depth while finger picking even using a capo at the 7th fret. Evenness and richness of sound will surprise the most accomplished players.

 

The ability of this instrument to adjust to your musical style will elevate your playing to the point of your finding it difficult to put it down. Many fingerstyle players have told us that they feel immediately became better musicians as soon as they played our Heritage Goose. This gives us at Boucher Guitars a great sense of pride to help you accomplish your full musical potential and to boost your creativity.

 

The Heritage Goose HG-46 is built using torrefied Adirondack spruce personally selected by Robin Boucher for both the bracing and the soundboard.

Its incomparable playability and versatility will make it the ideal guitar to satisfy your most ambitious aspirations.
