What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

Another absolute hoss from our favorite friends in the great wild North!  The square headstock, torrefied top, and appointments all scream vintage, while the voice on this SG-42 is far more overtoney, complex, and balanced than what we'd expect from a good D-18.  We've seen it happen countless times in our showroom--if you don't know the Boucher name now, you'll never forget it after your first G run on this beauty!

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!
