Our BG-52 is crafted and engineered to meet the very high requirements of bluegrass guitarists performing live or in the recording studio. Our guitars offer a large presence on stage due to the method of construction and choices of woods. The BG-52 is as “present” as all other bluegrass instruments whether you are strumming or soloing.

Robin Boucher personally selects Adirondack red spruce for the bracing and soundboard in order to give the instrument its special bluegrass sonority. Rich low ends, driving mids and beefy highs describe the sound spectrum of our Bluegrass Goose. This guitar is incredibly easy to play due to the elevated soundboard radius and the unique profile of the neck which will perfectly match the hand of the guitarist.

BURST PACK

For lovers of the vintage look, our BURST PACK offers an old and unique character to your Boucher guitar. Our traditional sunburst finish has 3 tones which may slightly vary from one guitar to the next, as they are applied by hand. In terms of tone, the BURST PACK may slightly bring out the crystal-clear tones of the trebles.

INTIMATE CONCERT PACK

Created for a specific purpose, the INTIMATE CONCERT PACK is very appropriate when the guitarist performs solo or in duo, or during performances in small concert halls. When played at a non-exaggerated volume, the K&K Pure Mini microphone avoids feedbacks while reproducing with great fidelity, the original sound of your acoustic guitar.

MASTER GRADE PACK

The world of guitar making proclaims that at least 70% of the sound properties of a high-end acoustic guitar have a connection with its soundboard and bracing. Boucher Guitars supports this view. The quality of the materials used in the making of a soundboard is, therefore, crucial. The Adirondack red spruce is, to everyone, the Holy Grail of wood species to consider when designing soundboards. However, its great rarity limits its use among manufacturers. Imagine the impact of a “Master Grade” Adirondack red spruce soundboard on the sonority of your guitar! And that is not all! All Boucher guitars with the MASTER GRADE PACK include a rosette ornamented with abalone inlay and Koa body bindings. This is to support the quality assurance and extreme rarity of a Master Grade Adirondack soundboard.

We thought of you and of everything!
