Boucher - BG52I Bluegrass Goose Indian Rosewood
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.

The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Tonewoods hand-selected by Robin Boucher for exceptional tonal response. Built in small batches with fanatical attention to every detail. Canadian craftsmanship rivaling the world's most prestigious guitar builders. Vintage treatment options for an instantly mature, open sound.
Play this guitar every single day without exception. The Adirondack or European spruce top opens up dramatically over the first year - at month six, you'll hear overtones and resonance that simply weren't there on day one. These guitars literally improve with age.
A Boucher is not just a guitar - it's a statement of Canadian luthier excellence that competes with the finest builders in the world. Every note has dimension and purpose, and the instrument only gets more beautiful with time. If you're looking for a guitar you'll proudly pass down to the next generation, this is it.
