BOUCHER BG-52-C BLUEGRASS GOOSE SERIES DREADNOUGHT EAST INDIAN ROSEWOOD WITH CONCERT PACK

Our BG-52 is crafted and engineered to meet the very high requirements of bluegrass guitarists performing live or in the recording studio. Our guitars offer a large presence on stage due to the method of construction and choices of woods. The BG-52 is as “present” as all other bluegrass instruments whether you are strumming or soloing.

Robin Boucher personally selects Adirondack red spruce for the bracing and soundboard in order to give the instrument its special bluegrass sonority. Rich low ends, driving mids and beefy highs describe the sound spectrum of our Bluegrass Goose. This guitar is incredibly easy to play due to the elevated soundboard radius and the unique profile of the neck which will perfectly match the hand of the guitarist.

Concert Pack®
Sound flexibility and improved visibility

Created for a specific purpose, the CONCERT PACK® combines two very useful elements when a guitarist has to perform live on stage. The Fishman Matrix Infinity pickup delivers uncompromising sound definition even at high volume. The black side markers located on the maple fretboard bindings maximize visibility on the guitar neck when stage lighting is not at its best.
