The SG-43 builds Brazilian Mahogany back and sides into the S-Jumbo, one of the three Studio Goose bodies. The top is AAAA Adirondack red spruce from the region around Boucher's Berthier-sur-Mer, Quebec workshop, and Robin Boucher selects every one. Boucher aims the series at players who need a faithful acoustic sound on stage and in the studio. A modified V neck with a 1.750" nut joins at the 14th fret, with Gotoh closed gear tuners on Boucher's headstock.
The SG-42 Dreadnought and SG-41 OM Hybrid are the same wood on the other Studio Goose bodies, and for this S-Jumbo in rosewood, look at the SG-53.
