A 000 with 12 frets to the body! It gives the humble intimacy you'd expect from a parlor sized instrument with just a tad more power and projection. The Adirondack top has tons of crystal clear headroom and the sweetest midrange, perfect for the fingerstyle guitarist looking to express themselves. The rosewood back and sides are full of deliciously scooped overtones that will swirl around you for days.
We were lucky enough to have Canadian recording artist J.P. Cormier give us a little demo of the Boucher Studio Goose 000 -12 Fret (East Indian Rosewood), accompanied by Buddy Robertson of Flatt Lonesome. We're blown away by Robin Boucher's guitars and loved to see them in such capable hands.

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!
