Boucher SG-52-BV Guitar #IN-1572-D

Short Description:

Sunburst dreadnought featuring Adirondack spruce top, East Indian rosewood back, and herringbone trim.

What We Think:

Handcrafted in Canada, the Boucher SG-52-BV pairs a master-grade AAAA Adirondack red spruce sunburst top with rich East Indian rosewood back and sides for supreme headroom and dynamic warmth. Weighing 4 lbs 8 oz, its dreadnought body utilizes hand-scalloped AAAA Adirondack forward-shifted X-bracing to produce resonant bass response and articulate highs across a 25.5" scale. The one-piece South American mahogany neck features a satin finish, a 1.750" Tusq nut, and a solid ebony fingerboard adorned with mother-of-pearl markers. Framed in maple body binding with classic herringbone purfling and rosette accents, it comes equipped with nickel open-gear Gotoh tuners and protects safely inside a TKL tweed deluxe hardshell case.
