Sound Pure's Take

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.
