ABOUT BOUCHER
A DREAM
When it all started in 2005, our dream was to create and develop acoustic guitars whose sound, playability and aesthetics would match the talent of the best guitarists and inspire them. Because our roots were in Berthier-sur-Mer, at the heart of the Appalachians, we also dreamed of enhancing the value of the Picea Rubens, commonly known as the Adirondack’s red spruce, a rare wood essence which grows abundantly in our splendid region, known worldwide for its exceptional harmonic qualities. Finally, we dreamed of a high-quality instrument which would bear the name of a goose then reflecting our terroir, where the Picea Rubens grows and where snow geese come to rest during their annual migrations.
BECOMING A REALITY
Therefore, we gathered a team of passionate craftsmen and luthiers around Robin Boucher to patiently and meticulously make and assemble handcrafted, acoustic guitars with an outstanding sonority. This team, refined and enriched over the years, excels every day with hard work and dedication.
Each of our guitars has its own personality tailored to its musician’s expectations, but all have in common an extraordinary projection, an unparalleled harmonic richness and balance, and a reliable range of frequencies allowing the guitarist to convey his full scope of emotions, from the rawest to the subtlest, to his audience. Many renowned artists in Canada and abroad are pleased to share their unique connection to their Boucher guitar. That is also why our instruments are so appreciated by singer songwriters and performers in search of new inspiration.

Boucher – SG12-63E Studio Goose Jumbo 12-strings
Boucher - SG12-63E
12-strings Studio Goode Series S-Jumbo - Canadian Curly Maple with Concert Pack
The 12-string guitar is the ultimate instrument for many well-known singer-songwriters. Its unique sound is easily recognizable. You only have to listen to great hits such as Hotel California, Stairway to Heaven, Give a Little Bit, Sundown, Wish You Were Here or Mr. Tambourine Man to recognize the typical sound of a 12-string guitar.
Moreover, when carefully fine-tuned, the 12-string guitar is as easy, if not easier to play than the conventional 6-string guitar. The 6 additional strings on a 12-string guitar, tuned in unison or octave, are smaller in diameter and the usual position of your fingers for chords remains exactly the same. Moreover, they bring harmonic richness, creating a sense of extended space.
The Boucher 12-string guitars series have earned the attention of many acoustic guitar virtuosos who particularly appreciate the richness, subtlety and harmonic balance of our instruments. Instrumental music, support for song lyrics and the songwriters’ quest for musical quality are specifically well served by our SG12-63-E!
A doubly inspiring instrument!
