Boucher - HG66 Heritage Goose Canadian Curly Maple
Our HG-66 is crafted for the best tonal results. It will deliver mids and bass depth while finger picking even using a capo at the 7th fret. Evenness and richness of sound will surprise the most accomplished players.
The ability of this instrument to adjust to your musical style will elevate your playing to the point of your finding it difficult to put it down. Many fingerstyle players have told us that they feel immediately became better musicians as soon as they played our Heritage Goose. This gives us at Boucher Guitars a great sense of pride to help you accomplish your full musical potential and to boost your creativity.
The Heritage Goose HG-66 is built using torrefied Adirondack spruce personally selected by Robin Boucher for both the bracing and the soundboard.
Its incomparable playability and versatility will make it the ideal guitar to satisfy your most ambitious aspirations.

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.
