I'll watch the video but I don't need convincing. Got a SG-42-MG and a SG-21. Robin is my favorite builder currently. Boucher builds great guitars!

Well then my work here is done?!?

So after watching Robin's interview I'm humbled to own his guitars. He's an amazing man with a true passion for building the very best he and his luthiers can build. Incredibly knowledgable and talented when it comes to finding out how things work and how to apply that to his builds to make them even better.
I'd love to meet the man and have a little time to get to know him. His heart is truly in his work...thank you Robin!

Bought my HG56 over a year ago and it's great. Go for it. Buy a Boucher.

Robin Boucher’s enthusiasm and passion for guitars is contagious. He is a genuinely kind and lovable soul to boot and add to this a truly deep knowledge of guitar fabrication and you end up with superb instruments. I am not a guitar expert by any means but I know what I like when I hear it and when I played my newly acquired Boucher OM (flamed maple) I was so blown away I just had to buy it right there and then. Anyone looking to buy a new guitar should, at least, try a Boucher.

Boucher have been very high on my list to try. Excited to see what you get Ken.

Thanks so much for posting that video. I really enjoyed watching and you come to appreciate how passionate Robin is about making the very best sounding guitars.

A few years ago I played one of there OM models, spruce/rosewood and was smitten. One of the very best sounding guitars I have ever played. I should have bought it then but didn’t. The sound still haunts me.
