The BG-41T is the Bluegrass Goose OM Hybrid with Torrefied Brazilian Mahogany back and sides. Above them sits a hand-selected AAAA Adirondack red spruce top with Adirondack spruce bracing, a 4.125-inch enlarged soundhole and black, white and black purfling. Boucher raises the top radius and carves its own modified V neck, finished in satin against the gloss body.
Boucher builds the series in Berthier-sur-Mer, Quebec, for bluegrass players live and in the studio, and describes the sound as rich lows, driving mids and strong highs with the presence to carry in a bluegrass band. The BG-42T is the same build as a Dreadnought. For Brazilian Mahogany in the Studio Goose line, look at the SG-41, and for rosewood in this shape, the BG-51.
