A dream

When it all started in 2005, Robin Boucher’s dream was to create and develop acoustic guitars whose sound, playability and aesthetics would match the talent of the best guitarists and inspire them. Because his roots were in Berthier-sur-Mer, at the heart of the Appalachians, he also dreamed of enhancing the value of the Picea Rubens, commonly known as the Adirondack’s red spruce, a rare wood essence which grows abundantly in their splendid region, known worldwide for its exceptional harmonic qualities. Finally, he dreamed of a high-quality instrument which would bear the name of a goose then reflecting their terroir, where the Picea Rubens grows and where snow geese come to rest during their annual migrations.

Becoming a reality

A team of passionate craftsmen and luthiers were gathered around Robin Boucher to patiently and meticulously make and assemble handcrafted, acoustic guitars with an outstanding sonority. This team, refined and enriched over the years, excels every day with hard work and dedication.

Each Boucher guitar has its own personality tailored to its musician’s expectations, but all have in common an extraordinary projection, an unparalleled harmonic richness and balance, and a reliable range of frequencies allowing any guitarist to convey their full scope of emotions, from the rawest to the subtlest. That is also why Boucher instruments are so appreciated by singer songwriters and performers in search of new inspiration.

Boucher soundboards are so highly regarded that, after keeping the best for their own instruments, they still sell several thousand every year to other world-renowned acoustic guitar manufacturers.
Vintage guitar lovers are always surprised and seduced by Boucher’s guitars’ sound attributes, which would otherwise not be available on the new acoustic guitar market without them.

Of course, a great deal is owed to Picea Rubens, but they have also managed to find the most beautiful exotic woods available on the world market, enabling them to bring an amazing aesthetic to the prodigious sound of their guitars. They have worked very hard to achieve this result and have remained true to their objectives and The Fret Collective are proud to serve as an offical dealer of these fantastic Instruments.
