What We Think

Condition: Used, Very Good 

Versatile and gorgeous, the Heritage Goose 000 has it all. Stately appointments such as the herringbone purfling, maple binding, herringbone rosette and mother-of-pearl inlays fittingly complement the master-grade Adirondack spruce top. The top doesn't just look good, though: Torrefaction has opened up the sound of this stunning top to accommodate the wide frequency range of the East Indian rosewood back and sides. And when that pairing gets matched up with the sturdy 12-fret design, the resulting sound is rich and dramatic. Deep bass, expressive mids and shimmering treble abound, all sensitive to your personal touch and play style.

SP Luthier Notes: Fretboard plane, bridge reglue, and setup

About Manufacturer

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!
