I'm from Montreal so I've seen and played a lot of Boucher guitars over the years.
One thing I have to admit is that they use great tops. Unlike several American builders, they don't charge you a steep extra for using ugly red spruce tops and I respect them for that.
On the flip side, if I'm going to spend serious money for a Martin-style guitar, I'd rather have the real deal and buy a Martin. I'm also not fond of the tuners that they use and the back of the headstock doesn't look like it belongs to the same guitar.
Of course they sound great -- but in this price range they all do.
