The SG-22 is a Studio Goose dreadnought in African Bubinga, under an AAAA Adirondack red spruce top that Robin Boucher picks for each guitar. The spruce comes from the region around Boucher's shop in Berthier-sur-Mer, Quebec, and Boucher builds the series around one aim: an accurate acoustic sound on stage and in the studio. A modified V neck, 1.750" at the nut, meets the body at the 14th fret, with Gotoh closed gear tuners on Boucher's own headstock.
For the same wood on the other Studio Goose bodies, there's the SG-21 OM Hybrid and the SG-23 S-Jumbo. The bubinga's figure differs guitar to guitar, so the photos show one example.
Finish, pickups, a cutaway, top grade and trim can all be built in through Boucher's option packs, listed below.
