Boucher BG-42T-GM Guitar #MYT-1071-DB

Short Description:

Adirondack Top with Torrefied Mahogany and Forward-Shifted X Bracing

What We Think:

The Boucher BG-42T-GM is a powerful dreadnought that delivers strong projection, clarity, and headroom. Its Adirondack spruce top provides punch and definition, while the torrefied mahogany body adds warmth and a dry, focused character. The tone is bold and articulate with plenty of cut, yet still balanced enough for more nuanced playing. It responds well to both heavy strumming and lighter touch dynamics. Smooth, lively, and easy to connect with, this BG-42T-GM offers a clear, woody voice that sits well in a mix and holds its own in any setting.

Manufacturer Description:

Our BG-42 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-42 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.

Dreaming of such a guitar? We have it.
