Sound Pure's Take
Versatile and gorgeous, this Heritage Goose 000 has it all. Stately appointments such as the herringbone purfling, maple binding, abalone rosette and mother-of-pearl inlays fittingly complement the master-grade Adirondack spruce top, featuring subtle bearclaw rippling. 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.
From Boucher Guitars
Our HG-56 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-56 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.
