    From the bottom of my heart thank you for doing this video. This should be required viewing for living on the planet earth. You are both such beautiful human beings and the guitars are like no other instruments in the world. I would own one if I could ... maybe one day .... but it was a privilege to watch you both ... thank you!

    1:06:48 The Mona Lisa….. In all aspects of the word this is the single most brilliant piece of music, I’ve ever in my life heard. Thank you all so much. I have no words. I have the JP signature model and I don’t play it often but when I do, no matter how long it sits I. It’s case it always comes out singing right on key.

      Stellar song indeed, Cam. It's Bruce Cockburn's "Foxglove" from his 1973 Night Vision album. There's a great online tutorial for it at Shutup & Play Guitar Tutorials. You'll be playing it on your own JP Sig Boucher in no time!

    Truth is, I can't even afford a £500 guitar, but if I won the lottery I'd fly straight over to have a guitar built by Robin, not just for their astronomical sound and build, but what a lovely guy. My favourite video yet. Thanks for this brilliant watch and inspiration 👍

I'm so pleased/proud to be the owner of my own beautiful Boucher BG-42IM. Hoping to get one of your signature models in the near future. Thank you again Robin, Guillaume and JP for bringing these guitars into my life. Cheers, Eddie Calnan 😎🎶🎶🎶

    Got to meet Robin at the Boucher clinic in Halifax. I was standing in the back watching JP play and he walked up to me and introduced himself. Very nice guy. Got to play 4 Boucher guitars after the show. Outstanding instruments, the feel and sound. Each guitar is a unique work of art.

    Just brilliant… thank you JP, Ginger, Robin and Guillaume for producing this amazing informative video.
    For years I’d seen Boucher guitars hanging on the wall, but never played one because I felt it was out of my price range. But because of JP’s excitement for the brand I gave one a try. That was it... within the month I'd raised the money by selling a camera and my Martin D35.
    This fall I bought a HG 56... it sounds as good as Yogi. I'm one very happy guy.

    What a review, what a passion these guys have , so tremendously inspiring ! To see attitude of this level... no, forget "attitude" - "love" is more likely, of both, a builder and a player, is to witness an almost extinct quality realm.

    Hello!
    Superb video with the Maestro and Guillaume. Boucher guitars are my favorite, I have 3 myself.
    I allow myself to point out a small error: Yogi is apparently made of Indian rosewood, so it's an HG56 and not an HG46 as it's written ;) .
    The song JP is playing with Mona Lisa is GORGEOUS!

    Sending you a little tip to thank you for all of the good info about Boucher Guitars...many hours of viewing videos with you and Robin! I'm an accompanist for a French Canadian trad fiddle session and a longtime member of an English ceilidh band, Rattlebone, playing a unique (obscure) repertoire of Anglo dance and folk tunes to an indifferent public. Recently I decided that a dreadnought would best serve my purpose after 26 years playing an OM (Larrivee). A few days ago, my beautiful BG-52 Gi arrived from Glenn in Antigonish. Played out with the fiddlers the other night and it was great. Looking forward to see how it holds up against melodeon, tuba and whistle in Rattlebone. I have to say thanks to you for getting me there along with Robin, Guillaume and Glenn (and my wife for coming around after her initial horror).

Thank you so much JP and Robin ❤ I hope there will be more episodes like this in the near future too. Also, I’m just curious to know if Robin has ever made a guitar for Miss Joni Mitchell for the Canadian Song-Writer Hall of Fame yet? I’m such a big fan of hers for more than 40 years already. 🇨🇦👍😀

  • @daw162
    @daw162 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    boucher reminds me of a fellow I know well - George Wilson. Except George only built evenings and weekends as his day job was making violins and harpsichords and other stuff of the sort. But the stuff Robin does (chasing a lighter guitar rather than something heavy and strong and safe) and keeping the mids is very similar. It must be 10 times more complicated to try to do that with a group of people vs. building entirely by yourself and having control of every part of production.

    I just loved both sides now on merlin. What is exercising me at the moment is the consistency. One after the other. I think one should have to be interviewed at length to access if one deserves a Boucher. I certainly dont. Its too late for me to ever get that good. Nevertheless, its wonderful to know that there are such masterpieces out there for the worthy.

    Beautiful guitars with a great sound. I just wish they offered a wider nut than 1 3/4". I'm 6' 4" and as I've gotten older I've found that I need a wider fretboard and wider string spacing. I really like the feel of the 2 3/8" spacing at the bridge but I need a 1 13/16" nut now.

      He usually uses blue chip picks. 1.5mm but the there is also another one I think he has switched to. It’s discussed a lot on his Wednesday night live stream show called “String Theory “. And as for strings D’Addario XS light gauge is his string of choice.

      Non existent. The B string doesn’t need to be slightly flat like other guitars. Apparently it’s something to do with the way the neck is set.

Choice of sound board would be bear claw engelman spruce. Red spruce xx scalloped braceing. African mahogany back and sides. A non slotted head stock and ebony round head waverly open tuneing gears and k and k pick up. With a low oval performance hard rock maple neck,ebony frett board and bridge,and lets top it off with waverly
