(1 element)

For lovers of the vintage look, our BURST PACK™ offers an old and unique character to your Boucher guitar.

In terms of tone, the BURST PACK™ may slightly bring out the crystal-clear tones of the trebles.

Master Grade Pack™

Finesse and exclusivity
(3 elements)

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 optional 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!
