GSWJ - JP Reviews the Boucher Prototype 12-String Dreadnaught

[@angelg8445]

Hey brother just picked up your signature guitar 000 Boucher!!! Cheers to you and Robin! Thank you 🙏🏽 for many years of beautiful art and I will post my new Boucher Cormier!

[@roior]

Nothing like a Boucher ! We want Boucher SG-41-L00 !

[@lhvent]

Such Brilliance. Robin is a visionary. JP has an ear for what guitars should sound like.

[@williss9995]

A gorgeous tobacco sunburst with remarkable piano like sound! Boucher Canada proud!

[@newffee]

Wow the notes are balanced and clear. The overtones are not muddy at all. I think Robin will have a number one seller amongst 12 string enthusiasts.

[@LegsON]

No way, not enough of these will be produced and they're going to be EXPENSIVE.

[@cmakely60]

Best 12 String tone I've ever heard ! Congrats to Robin

[@Chess_Guitar]

Boucher guitars are something out of this world; unique craftsmanship setting the standards to the highest levels in the world of guitars.

[@shaynehwhite]

Wow! Robin... What did you just build? lol That is truly one of the most remarkable instruments my ears have ever had both the privilege and honor of hearing. Hats off to you sir!

[@paulfowler5420]

Wow. Sounds like three guitars. Incredible!

[@cajunqueen5125]

i'm returning to this vid after 2 months, and am "even more blown away"

[@matthewbrown7572]

I just received my Boucher jumbo torified maple 12 string last week and I can tell you, it's mind blowing. I couldn't believe what I was hearing when I played it for the first time . The depth, balance, shimmer, base like a grand piano. The easiest guitar to play I've ever had.Far exceeded what I had imagined.Worth every penny.

[@anmolatwal]

This doesnt have that chorusing effect but rather a doubling effect which makes it sound it thicker and more balanced and just WOW!!

[@quintonmcclellan3279]

I agree best sounding 12 string I've ever heard even over the phone.

[@markguynn7254]

The best I have ever heard : Gloriously awe inspiring!! Mystical !!

[@chrisxiros1999]

I’ve got actual chills listening to this guitar with my headphones on, another amazing instrument from the master.

[@jbman413]

Beautiful looks and sounds :)

[@theREDC0de]

Fair enough, the guitar is great, however what always impresses me just as much is your awesome playing. Hats off to you. :)

[@stephenandkayleemusic]

To my ears it almost sounds like an acoustic guitar accompanied by a hammered dulcimer. Incredible

[@oa1021]

i fucking love listening to this man play gitarrs

[@kking9184]

It sounds like the full band. Very nice

[@Camcodrummer]

Super nice!

[@life17is02music91]

Wow I’m blown away !! I want it now I mean I need it. The best 12 Strings ever. Je ne comprendrai jamais comment Boucher fait ces guitares formidables!! Je suis fier d’être Québécois !!! Elle ira bien avec ma PS-SG-163. Thank you JP Cormier it’s always a real pleasure to hear you play and review guitars.

[@shaynehwhite]

Pick that thang JP! Whoo hoo!

[@4jrbirdman]

What a voice

[@ScottWilcox]

Wow, that's a fantastic guitar!

[@timothybrawley7909]

As always, his instrument are awesome!

[@TheGuitarsquatch]

I've never heard a 12 with that much thickness. Damn

[@fourocker]

Yeah you're right there, I had a twelve that sounded nice but not the thickness of sound like this, a good way to describe it 👍

[@dcallan1]

Excellent 12 string. I was looking to buy one recently and no had one in stock. It appears he was refining them! Great tone and looks. I bet it plays like a gem.

[@catnapgee5357]

A wonderful guitar indeed, though I'd recommend you check out the Norman B50 12 natural. It sounds like nothing else with its ring.

[@panayotiscanellopoulos8696]

Divine luthier makes makes divine instruments. What a pitty for me ,for not ever will have a glorious 12-sring guitar like this..... and the other SG-163 Jumbo beast.... The best guitars I've ever heard..... Love and respect Robon and JP!!!! Greetings from Athens, Greece!!!

[@localguy8]

It is very hard to find a great 12 string, this one sounds wonderful 🎸🎸🎸

[@roywilliamson88]

really great tone.

[@scottfishkind5335]

I’m not typically drawn to 12 string guitars but that one is incredible!!

[@robmaclean1878]

OM GEE...the sound is amazing

[@stevebernard221]

That do sound good. Must be great in the room.

[@MrKokoricoz]

Amazing guitar! What song are you playing JP at the beginning? Thanks!

[@michaellaverty1844]

What can you say about Boucher Guitars that hadn’t already been said? Simply amazing!

[@toddcagle4245]

JP did you ever get the K&K pickup put in the Epiphone inspired by Gibson Hummingbird? Just curious because I own one.

[@steves12strings]

JP, I am looking at this and the Guild F512e (Rosewood). Any thoughts on which you'd choose?

[@anance6514]

When Are they available.. Have inquired,, at a couple of Dealers.

[@SpiritofGeorgeWashington]

Hey JP and Robin, I would like to request a comparison of apples to apples so to speak between a BG and an SG Dreadnaught I know you did one, but they were not the same wood and so I could never actually discern the difference in the sound exactly and I’m trying to decide which one to purchase. Thanks

[@CoreyMcCormick]

Is this considered a prototype because of the new mold / new recipe for a 12 string dread from Boucher? Just curious because Boucher previously made 12 string dreads. This one sounds absolutely amazing!!

[@coolhandluke2310]

A beautiful axe.👍

[@tedr.]

Holy molly!!! How the heck did you get your hands on God's guitar? Beautiful in every way!!

[@azcharlie2009]

Tell us how you really feel, John.... Where can we buy one of his guitars? Only through a dealer?

[@pacificgreen9690]

Wow. Sign me up. Can I get one without electronics?

[@bqktwcommentary]

What do you think about the fender FA-135CE acoustic electric guitar?

[@PompdUpFishin]

That sounds amazing. I’m ashamed to say I’ve never heard of Boucher guitars. 🤦🏻‍♂️. I feel ashamed, and upset that I’ve missed out.

[@anthonywhite6530]

Great bottom end. Or might be my cheap earphones. Beautiful sound.

[@jimwaller5465]

Beautiful... I know a guy! 👋👋🤎

[@fourocker]

Hairs are standing on the back of my neck 😮

[@pattonmaclean4777]

Holy f***

[@rexieb3]

The way you play and the sound coming out of the Boucher make me never want to ever play an electric guitar again.

[@rayclark9643]

If I could ever afford to throw thousands of dollars towards an instrument this would definitely be the one I'd purchase hands down !!!

[@pattonmaclean4777]

Weren't you just in Knoxville?

[@jamesgraff6259]

The Ching is not there it’s hard to explain the bright shimmer is replaced with a balance I’ve never heard on a 12 string I’m going to rewind and play this a few dozen times to fully realize what it is I am hearing

[@martifingers]

yes, perhaps the finest sounding 12 string ever. Piano-like sonority...

[@cajunqueen5125]

👍👍👍

[@zunif]

Martin > Boucher

[@zunif]

@heyguys1685 Martins standard line of d-18 and d-28 are 3k. Bouchers are 5-6k. Martin still sounds better for $3,000 LESS. Have fun with your Martin wannabe guitars 😅

[@barbrakemp2989]

What a beautiful 12 string it sounds like a piano. I’ve never heard nothing that beautiful and I own4 nothing was as beautiful as that guitar and I’m a 12 string player

[@Juicexlx]

wow

[@uvp5000]

J.P., it sounds like the guitar is tuned a half step down. Is this a technique you typically employ, or is there another reason why this is so? Thank you for posting this video. Boucher instruments continue to dazzle me with their sound and appearance. I await the day I get to play one, or, better still, purchase one.

[@cajunqueen5125]

@uvp5000 Yes tuned down. 12-str guitars often tuned down 1 or 2 steps (according to player preference) to reduce the overall string tension on the neck.

[@uvp5000]

@@cajunqueen5125 Thank you. To this point, I had not been aware of this.

[@gam1471]

@@cajunqueen5125 Tuning down also makes the action a bit easier - but I've never come across a twelve string that I've got on with because of the action. Even Taylor doesn't seem to be able to offer an easy-playing 12-string guitar.

[@John-wr6yo]

How about a 12 frett oo 12 string

[@John-wr6yo]

To each his own,but i will pass on the dread nought body for a 12 string.
