The SG-53 pairs East Indian Rosewood with Boucher's S-Jumbo, one of the three Studio Goose bodies. Its AAAA Adirondack red spruce top is selected by Robin Boucher, from spruce that grows around the shop in Berthier-sur-Mer, Quebec, and Boucher builds the series for players who need an accurate acoustic sound live and in the studio. The modified V neck has a 1.750" nut and joins the body at the 14th fret.
For the same wood on the other Studio Goose bodies, look at the SG-52 Dreadnought and the SG-51 OM Hybrid. The SG-43 is this S-Jumbo in Brazilian Mahogany, and the SG-63 in Canadian Curly Maple.
