Sound Pure's Take
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!
