My friend just came back from Brazil. He marveled over the Brazilian Rosewood they harvested. Brazilian Rosewood is still my favorite tone wood. I am thinking of getting a Yamaha Custom ARE LL56 with Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. I am glad that the Japanese have no restrictions. 😊❤😊❤😊
I've had more than half a dozen mahogany guitars, and more than half a dozen maple guitars. there is a difference in tone, but I like them both equally.
I don't believe there are any builders applying torrefaction to back and sides in addition to the top other than Boucher (having listened to J.P. Cormier's review). Maple is an incredibly articulate and warm tone wood (I attest from owning the Yamaha maple laminate FG840).in addition to its brightness. In theory, Boucher would be looking to widen the tonal spectrum on this model by applying torrefaction throughout the guitar.
How does it compare to other guitars you own? Is it loud, resonant, responsive? I haven’t been able to get my hands on one but every video I hear it sounds phenomenal.
@@kamarienedwards1757 I had a 610 ltd Taylor and it just had no bottom so I traded it on a J45 Gibson custom that I'm very happy with. I had a Jf30 Guild that was great but the best maple guitar I ever played was a custom shop Gibson J45 and I didn't buy it.
I purchased one and there isn’t anything this Guitar cannot do. I play alongside of several Collings, Bourgeois and HDs and it’s right in there with better mids and sustain
Please listening to Tim van Roy ( youtube) he plays a all solid mayple Mayson guitar and it's one of the best sounding guitar i heard in my life....please listen....
That doesn’t make much sense to me if you’re not getting the made in Maryland version. I don’t think it’s worth the trade unless you physically play the exact guitar you want and it’s the sound in your head
@@victoresarey4036 I’d say it’s not worth it, especially for acoustic guitars since whatever it sounds like your stuck with it. Cheers on your hunt mate!
I find it hard to watch your videos because you don’t let the guy on the right ever get a opinion without undermining him it’s so annoying to watch I’ve notice this in a few videos, I would like to hear more from his point of view without you instantly cutting him off.
Will you guys please please consider NOT playing Appalachian rocking chair music! It seems every time you demo a guitar you always just use one genre! Play some Led Zeppelin, Some classical, some Spanish anything but hip holding Celtic folk music for the love of the gods of guitar.
That’s for comparison. Nothing worse than comparing two guitars and playing two different things on them. There’s a bunch of channels doing what you want. I’d suggest any of those.
Waah, wah 😢 Get spotify. Do you know who these guys are? ...geez...lol. I normally don't comment, but you squeezed this one out of me. It's time for a diaper change.
@@HootenannyHingahonga yes they are incredible at their genre … as noted, but this isn’t a concert series from them, they sell guitars for a living so as a customer sometimes we’d like to hear something other than bluegrass in the reviews..
Aged Flame Maple + 4A Adirondack = The PERFECT Combination for ALL sizes
My favourite is the Jumbo one.
Thanks Robin! You are Master Luthier!!!❤
Thank you sir!
Your kind comments are truly appreciated!
Best regards from the whole team
Great demo of a great guitar. I have a maple Boucher guitar and love it. Very articulate with a gorgeous tone. Also comfy to play.
Wow! The clarity and balance of that guitar! There's something really special about the midrange on that one. It's just so smooth. Great video guys.

Boucher and Gallagher our my favorites! Live in California so hard to find them to play!
Holy sustain... And the tone is exceptional. Boucher is the best. I don't even like maple but that was nice

Eastmans ar910ce is torrefied. I’m hoping they bring this to their acoustics for a cheaper alternative to boucher
I really like the wider grain of that spruce top. you don't see tops that are wide and even very often.
That’s because it’s a 4a Adirondack top that robin boucher hand selects. Wait until you see his master grade tops🤭😮💨
John, I have found very few maple guitars that I would keep but this guitar has some decent bottom and is well balanced.

John, what about a deep body 000 orr OM torrified maple back Adirondack top also torrified?
Hello,
Yes the Adirondack top is torrefied!
I like the sound personally… it’s got some bite to it.
Hello from Hudson.
Are these larger than a Parlor guitar but smaller than a regular acoustic?
Mahoagany rules in my world but maple isn't bad at all!
No,but I might consider a maple one day
Where exactly do you plant trees?
One Tree Planted has tons of options to choose from, we try to pick a variety of locations, especially places that grow tone woods.
John, you're definitely not a small bodied player and neither am I.
10x better than that Martin Maple junk they had at namm
Martin sucks now IMO
pretty rough looking top. looks like new age wood, wide grain, no cross marbling.

Any of you guys think it would make sense to trade a 92 martin d28 and a 2015 gibson les paul less plus for a bourgeois touchtone d?
That doesn’t make much sense to me if you’re not getting the made in Maryland version. I don’t think it’s worth the trade unless you physically play the exact guitar you want and it’s the sound in your head
@kamarienedwards1757 yea if I could get my American fender strat, my les paul and martin sold I'd buy a used bourgeois on reverb I found made in usa
@@victoresarey4036 I’d say it’s not worth it, especially for acoustic guitars since whatever it sounds like your stuck with it. Cheers on your hunt mate!
Just buy an Eastman and keep your stuff. They send the tops to them. You know Eastman is copying it.
Absolutely not.
Honestly, this doesn't do it for me. Perhaps if you sent me one for a week or two...I might reconsider.

For mandolins and fiddles yes for guitars it sounds like a dull thud
I like hog to maple

My goodness, this a country music, bluegrass website. Led Zeppelin has no place here! 13:26
