Our take

Who this one is for

The SG-42 is a Brazilian Mahogany dreadnought from Boucher's Studio Goose series, topped with AAAA Adirondack red spruce that Robin Boucher chooses for each guitar. That spruce grows in the region around the shop in Berthier-sur-Mer, Quebec, and Boucher builds Studio Goose guitars to sound accurate on stage or in front of a microphone. The modified V neck carries a 1.750" nut and meets the body at the 14th fret.

This is a dreadnought for a player who strums and sings, built in mahogany. The SG-52 is this body in East Indian Rosewood, the SG-22 in African Bubinga, and the SG-152 in Madagascar Rosewood. If bluegrass is the plan, the Bluegrass Goose BG-42T is a torrefied mahogany dreadnought built for it.

Boucher's option packs can add a pickup or a cutaway, change the finish, and step up the top and trim. They're listed below.

Burst Pack: a hand-applied sunburst, tobacco burst, open amber burst or black top
Concert Pack: Fishman Matrix Infinity pickup, installed

Intimate Concert Pack: K&K Pure Mini pickup, installed

Pre-orders

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when the guitar reaches the shop, before it ships to you. A deposit is paid by card or PayPal. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can't take one.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. If you'd like a date for this model first, ask us in the chat and we'll check with the supplier before you order. If you're ready now, go ahead: we confirm the ETA by email once your order is in, and if it changes, we let you know and you can cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before the guitar arrives.

Is the free setup included?

Yes. A pre-order is an online order, so it gets the same free setup: it crosses our bench before it ships, set up the way you choose. The setup menu above shows what that covers.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are in Canada and paying in full. Pick PayPlan by RBC or Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
