Boucher BG-51-I

£4,199.00

Preowned Boucher BG-51-I OM Hybrid model in excellent condition with upgraded bound fingerboard.

Another fantastic offering from the geniuses at Boucher Guitars in Quebec, Canada. The Bluegrass series of guitars retain the wonderful clarity of the Studio Goose series, but pack a tiny bit more punch in the upper mid range due to the very slightly larger soundhole and the bone nut & saddle. This model, like all Boucher guitars, has an Adirondack spruce soundboard. In this case a AAAA level one and that is matched to a great straight grained East Indian Rosewood back and sides.

It’s a stunning sounding instrument and these guitars are 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.

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 the Bluegrass Goose.

Being an Intimate model, this guitar comes equipped with a factory fitted K&K Pure Mini pickup and has been further upgraded/customised with a bound fingerboard in maple. This bound fingerboard is normally only reserved for the Ultimate pack, so this is a rare custom feature.

It’s in nigh on pristine condition, with the only thing to mention being some tiny marking where the headstock veneer joins the nut due to a change of nut from the previous owner to Tusq and then back to the original bone version.

It travels in its luxury tweed Boucher emblazoned TKL hard case, which is also in great condition.
