What We Think

This guitar is alive!  It's got a slow blossom, though. I like that. It lends a drama to certain chord voicings, especially those with a low bass note. It's just a really thoughtful and articulate instrument. It reminds me of the hero in an old western who says very little, but can completely silence a room with a gold nugget of wisdom when he means to. Really strong on the overtones, too. As my co-worker, Eddie, put it, "if it had any more it'd be a 12-string". 

I adore Bubinga. I like to say it, hear it, touch it, smell it. . . I agree with Robin's description of it being "surprising". This is definitely the kind of guitar you can have a  conversation with. It's a good listener, but when it's got something to say, you better take it to heart. 

Works great with fingers and flat picks, but especially loves a combination of both.

Manufacturer's Description from Boucher

BOUCHER GUITARS: AMONG THE ADIRONDACKS

Founded in 2005,  Boucher Guitars has become known as a leader in the creation of high-quality acoustic guitars. Our workshop is located in Quebec, Canada, in the heart of the Canadian Appalachian mountains, and we are lucky to be surrounded by North America’s largest Adirondack spruce forest. These majestic trees provide the wood for our guitars’ sound boards, and we are proud to be the only guitar maker working exclusively with Adirondack spruce for all of our sound boards. Every Boucher instrument is handcrafted by a team of experienced luthiers (guitar makers) and artisans. Our passion shows, in the exceptional sound quality and visual beauty of every instrument we produce…and we look forward to sharing our passion with you!

About Manufacturer

A few years back a wonderful man named Robin Boucher drove to Sound Pure studios all the way from Canada. In his back seat, nestled in lovely tweed cases, he had some of the finest acoustic guitars to ever cross our northern border. We became immediate friends and his work was mind-blowing. The clarity of the tone, the immaculate fit and finish, the effortless playability. To top it all off, Robin got his start as a WOOD DEALER. He happens to live in an Adirondack red spruce forest!
