    Aged Flame Maple + 4A Adirondack = The PERFECT Combination for ALL sizes
    My favourite is the Jumbo one.
    Thanks Robin! You are Master Luthier!!!❤

    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.

    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. 😊❤😊❤😊

    Holy sustain... And the tone is exceptional. Boucher is the best. I don't even like maple but that was nice

    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.

      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🤭😮‍💨

      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.

      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

    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.
