    J .P what a wonderful warm man you truly are.
    I have no doubt Robin is as proud of his connection to musicians like you.
    I was given a LL 36 by my son it made me go back to the pyramid.

    I could listen to this man talk about guitars all day.. Hes not kidding when he say that thats the best Dread he ever played..I spend my nights watching acoustic guitars videos(im obsessed) and this is the best sounding acoustic i ever heard.

      Unless you sit in front of it and play it against something it's really hard to tell exactly how good it really is. Having said that I own a Boucher.

    Just received my SG-52 from Canada two days ago and I am really impressed with this guitar. The build quality is top notch and the sound is incredible. I get up in the morning and make coffee for the wife and have to pick up the guitar and give it a strum. It’s like I have to check it again first thing in the morning to make sure it really is that good. It is that good!
    Also, thanks for your videos!

    Your brilliance as a musician, pales to your love of promoting and demonstrating these beautiful instruments. Mr. Cormier, I don't believe you know the impact you are having on people wanting to learn and play, any instrument, for that matter. You said guitar sales are up 700%, I believe during this Pandemic. On you 'Life and Times' program, you kept saying how fortunate you were , when something bad happen, it opened up another door, that took you to another level of great luck and opportunity. I believe you said, 'the perfect storm'. As bad as the Pandemic has been, bringing all of us to our knees, it opened up another opportunity for you. Because of the Pandemic , you have devised this type of format, through UA-cam, to demonstrate the pure joy and pleasure one gets, while playing music. You ,Sir , are also responsible for moving that needle toward 700%, as well. All people want and need is an honest opinion, and you, have provided that. Thank you...

    Stumbled upon your channel a few days ago while researching acoustic guitars and it’s fantastic! You are the real deal and I love listening to musicians like yourself! Your insight is fantastic and your a phenomenal player! Your insight on Martin and Gibson is great and I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been playing guitar for about 20 years and my most played guitar is an Epiphone acoustic that was about $150 USD and I love the sound of it…granted I have never been able to afford more expensive guitars but it’s a fantastic guitar and I play it almost every day. I always think of my favorite blues musicians like Muddy Waters, and Lightnin’ Hopkins and the amazing sounds they got with whatever guitars they could get their hands on. Every once in awhile I get tempted to buy a new acoustic to take the place of my Epiphone when I see other musicians fancy new guitars but in the end my guitar is worth a lot more to me than much more expensive guitars out there and there are cheaper guitars that sound great! My Epiphone can take a beating too and I take it everywhere with me. Love the channel!!! I’m already a huge fan!

    I love your videos! Thanks again for this one. I saw a lot of reporting on Robin Boucher and his team. Indeed, one can see how this man is benevolent.
    I especially like the way you talk about him in this video, his team and of course the amazing Boucher Guitars.
    You also sound like a great guy, besides the great Musician that you are.
    As for me ... I look forward to September because I will see my first Boucher, a 000, and a few months later, another Boucher, an OM. :)
    Long, looooong life to Boucher Guitars, and thank you to Robin and all his team and you!

    Dear John....I´m really searchin the right words for what I want to tell you, after I heard you playin this wonderful guitar Mr Boucher built for you. It might be the impression of how you played Lindsey Buckingham´s "Never Going Back Again" so incredibly well in the only way of groove - I know you play for about 40years now - or/and is it the heartful dedication to your new instrument - it´s healin my old musicians heart for some days, Im shure about that - thank you John !

    I've been playing a long time and this thought has never crossed my mind before but this guitar sounds 3-D
    I thought my Taylor 814CE sounded good and it does but Wow! I'm just blown away with the sound of the Boucher!
    Thanks for the introduction and mini concert.

      Just got one. Hard to get it here to Australia, but Roger Schmidt at Brickhouse enabled that for me, and was very helpful along the way. It's just an astonishing guitar. Every note in every position has such great tone, and thickness. It's louder than any other guitar I've played, and it's just a joy.

    Thank you so much in advance.
    Keep doing what you are doing and thanks for inspiring me to pick up my acoustic!
