OO Padauk

from $4,500$4,200 CAD · demonstrator price · hardshell case included · K&K installed

A 00 with a strong character: deep, vibrant padauk paired with a clear, precise Engelmann spruce top.

Entirely handmade in Magog by Francis Boutin, in collaboration with his father Bruno Boutin, this 12-fret 00 is part of the Héritage collection. The short scale (604 mm) makes it easy to play, even for smaller hands, while the padauk gives it a rich, full and balanced sound — ideal for fingerstyle and accompaniment alike.

Hardshell case included. Available to try at the workshop, by appointment.
