The SG-41 is Boucher's Studio Goose OM Hybrid in Brazilian Mahogany, with an AAAA Adirondack red spruce top that Robin Boucher selects by hand. Boucher sources that spruce from the region around its Berthier-sur-Mer, Quebec workshop and builds the Studio Goose series for players who need an accurate acoustic voice live and in the studio. The modified V neck has a 1.750" nut and a satin finish, and it joins the body at the 14th fret.
For mahogany on the other Studio Goose bodies, look at the SG-42 Dreadnought or the SG-43 S-Jumbo. The SG-51 is this OM Hybrid in East Indian Rosewood, and the Bluegrass Goose BG-41T takes the same woods into a torrefied, bluegrass-voiced build.
