The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Tonewoods hand-selected by Robin Boucher for exceptional tonal response. Built in small batches with fanatical attention to every detail. Canadian craftsmanship rivaling the world's most prestigious guitar builders. Vintage treatment options for an instantly mature, open sound.
Play this guitar every single day without exception. The Adirondack or European spruce top opens up dramatically over the first year - at month six, you'll hear overtones and resonance that simply weren't there on day one. These guitars literally improve with age.
A Boucher is not just a guitar - it's a statement of Canadian luthier excellence that competes with the finest builders in the world. Every note has dimension and purpose, and the instrument only gets more beautiful with time. If you're looking for a guitar you'll proudly pass down to the next generation, this is it.

SG-51
Our SG-51 is especially crafted to fulfill the needs of demanding guitarists. Whether the guitarist is looking for precise acoustic sounds while performing live or to meet the stringent requirements of studio recording engineers, this model will provide it. Each Adirondack red spruce soundboard of the Studio Goose is personally selected by Robin Boucher with his commitment to provide the wood qualities needed to deliver high end sound. The playability and versatility of this guitar makes it the ideal instrument to channel your inspirations into harmonious melodies.Master Grade Pack™
Finesse and exclusivity
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 red spruce soundboard. We thought of you and of everything!- Exclusive abalone rosette
