Sound Pure's Take
Exemplifying Canadian lutherie at its absolute peak, the Boucher GR-SG-163T couples a AAAA Adirondack red spruce soundboard with highly figure-grade 5A torrefied flamed maple back and sides. Weighing 4 lbs 9 oz, this grand-reserve instrument leverages hand-scalloped forward-shifted X-bracing to produce crystalline highs, authoritative low-end punch, and remarkable harmonic resonance. Elegantly adorned with maple binding, herringbone purfling, and an abalone rosette, the satin-finished South American mahogany neck offers a 1.750" Tusq nut, a 25.5" scale length, and an ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays. Outfitted with Gotoh open-gear gold tuners and an ebony bridge, this signed guitar comes housed in a TKL tweed deluxe hardshell case.
