tiyoune « I've never played better! »
Published on 05/14/11 at 14:06Canadian guitar handmade in a small company that only a few hundred instruments annually. A violin maker in France made a few tens, if not alone in the workshop. Here, some operations are performed using woodworking machinery (still is) but Mr Boucher "feels" all the guitars coming out of his home. They are "nickel". They have the best wood in the world there and it's like in the kitchen with the right ingredients ...
I was impressed by the balance, projection, grain, everything looks great on this guitar.
UTILIZATION
The neck is mahogany, and I also feel it might be easier to play. Ascent home with 13-56, that sounds but it takes "fingers" to get the best. I also opted for the 12-54 and is a good compromise. It remains true, powerful and can play fast as well. My young neighbor gets no sound with pure, but for a serious musician, the handle of a Ukulele is what is best ...
Certainly on my strato with 11-52, then I become a virtuoso. This model has no cutaway but the sound is so balanced and that nothing should change, believe me. Cuteway on my Takamine, the woods were the same but the quality of them much less. The varnish harder ... etc. the sound has nothing to do ... and yet it is the Takamine.
Boucher is the only great!
SOUNDS
We can all play with. Folk, piking with fingers, tabs, pick, hard, soft, all sonne.Pour my part, I play jazz and to the pump, "it does".
Arpeggios sound good, the walkings too. It's a treat!
In electro, with LR Baggs system, the sound is just perfect. AER Compact 60 on a, low volume, I sometimes find even better sound waves. I thought it impossible ...
I tried a Taylor rivaling the takamine but once connected, what misery. Pre-Aplis CTP1 home takamine are really goods. They catch up and color the sound of the guitar but the result is good.
LR Baggs system does not deliver a very powerful signal or adjustment (except balance mic / piezo and volume) but the sound is fabulous instrument faithfully restored. This is happiness.
However, in the studio, a good micro electro-static showed me the opposite but that's another story and another cost ...
OVERALL OPINION
In Montreal, I've tried them all at Steve's store (they are nice, I spent almost two days solid): Gibson, Martin, Taylor, Takamine, Ovation, etc. ...
The butcher struck me above the crowd both at the finish tones.
The brand was unknown to me but I fell on the c. .. Art and Lutherie, Lowden, godin etc ..., but I knew this small factory called Boucher, I was suspicious at first. Travel is even older.
This Native Goose is simple but no compromise has been made: it sounds like models with inlays as they can do for cowboys across the Atlantic. (Not always with good taste in my opinion ...)
Really, I'm passionate about beautiful guitars and this is the best I had in my arm, uh, I mean hands!
My Gibson is nice but the finish is well beyond Boucher.
The best in my opinion.
If you go to Canada, you'll know what to do with your holiday was great and the dollar down at the time, it still is I believe.
