If you could only have one guitar for playing Bluegrass what would you choose
I just picked up a used Boucher BG-52 Dreadnought which was proudly handmade by the experimental and passionate luthiers at Robin Boucher's workshop in Berthier-sur-Mer, Quebec, Canada. The top is "AAAA" grade Adirondack and the tonewood for the back and sides is East Indian Rosewood. This is the guitar I would choose and did choose for playing bluegrass at this point in time.
Sorry Kminor, I forgot to ask you about what your dream bluegrass guitar is.
I don't yet have a Bluegrass guitar, just looking to see what others think.
Thanks for that. Martin is my favourite at the moment but D28, HD28, HD35 ? .
@kminor There is an older thread on CGO Forum under the Discuss Your Gear category where Devin poses the same question about which acoustic guitar is best for Country and Bluegrass. There are six pages of responses by CGO members.
Thank you for the link, regards
@kminor Hello from Belgium Kminor! I have a 1979 D 35... It was a dream, and now when I play it, the dream become reality... no regret!
Hi Michael, don't you like your new president? 🤣 (sorry I know no joke is allowed with that, this madman will harm the entire planet). Apart from that i got my tickets to go to see Neil Young in Paris in July... Im so happy!!@kminor You can't go wrong with a Martin Dreadnought, although as a Canadian, I am unfortunately no longer allowed to purchase any American made guitars, which makes me sad.
@thib I'm happy for you Tibo that Neil is coming to your neighbourhood. It just goes to prove that patience is a virtue and good things come to those who wait. I hope Neil is in good health and he doesn't cancel like last summer in Ottawa. Ottawa isn't exactly Paris though so there's probably zero chance he'd ever cancel that gig.
