Bouchereau Mistral C12 (OM) #033

THE MISTRAL

The Mistral model is Loïc’s take on the OM model from Martin, featuring more fluid and harmonious lines, while remaining into the same body dimensions. This very popular fingerstyle and soloist model, produces a reactive response with complex overtones and harmonics, which allows a much nuanced playing. This guitar model is the most sought after among the Bouchereau guitars lineup. Available with many ergonomic and aesthetic declinations, this very versatile instrument can adapt to the most exigent and creative players.
