Sound Pure's Take
The Boucher SM-JP-56 is a beautifully expressive 12-fret acoustic that delivers rich depth and remarkable clarity with a refined, responsive feel. Its Adirondack 4A spruce top offers exceptional headroom and articulation, while the East Indian rosewood body adds lush overtones, warm lows, and shimmering highs. The forward-shifted, hand-scalloped bracing enhances its dynamic response, making it feel alive and balanced under any touch. A comfortable mahogany neck paired with an ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, natural playing experience. Elegant koa binding and abalone accents complete its look, giving this guitar a voice and presence that feels both luxurious and deeply musical!
From Boucher Guitars
On July 7, 2016, JP Cormier bought his first Boucher guitar. Since then, and without asking for anything back, this artist with immeasurable talent and generosity constantly praises the merits of our guitars. Wishing to point out the great contribution of JP regarding the growing popularity of our guitars, we wanted to offer him a guitar. But not just any guitar!
A JP Cormier Signature model truly designed to reflect the great qualities of this great ambassador of the Boucher Guitars brand. So, we had to create a guitar with a unique look and a frank, generous, authentic, and versatile sound. The addition of an exclusive cutaway to our 12-fret 000 body-size adorned with a neck headstock design reminiscent of all our models is a reminder of the great JP’s qualities.
A versatile guitar for a versatile musician!
