For me, Boucher for strumming, Martin for flatpicking & Furch for fingerstyle. I’d say Boucher as the overall winner. But the real star is the guitarist- well played sir !

[@seancurran6727]

I agree about the guitar player. Best guitarist I've seen in any of these demos for bringing out the tone of each guitar, and with very clean picking! I think the Furch lacked the warm overtones of the other two, I was most impressed with the Martin overall but the Boucher was very close and may have taken the prize for fingerstyle.

[@ramspencer5492]

The Boucher just blew the other two away for me... Though i may have liked the Martin overall more than the Furch.... Warmer... The Furch has a more balanced thing going though... And sounded more open..... I'd have to play them. But the Boucher just sounded like a class above the others...

[@stephensmith799]

Three fantastic and distinctive guitars. I feel the Martin is most ‘friendly’ sounding of the three.

[@frankie5072]

I had preconceived notions of which I was going to choose… but the Boucher blew my mind! Clear and loud! Wow! 🤯😱🤯

[@karlburmeister1552]

My God, the Boucher blew me away! I was not expecting that.

[@jamescoughlan8193]

Boucher my pick overall but both the Furch and Martin are stunning instruments. However when you think you could purchase the Furch for half the price of the others it really is some value for money.

[@BrickhouseGuitarsKitchener]

Thanks for sharing your impressions. Cheers. Roger

[@nikow.1101]

Furch is my absolute favourite, rich modern sound!!

[@BrickhouseGuitarsKitchener]

Thanks for your comments! Roger

[@jean-baptistebordellier3399]

Same, absolute beauty of a guitar. The Martin sounds interresting too though for cords and stuff but the Boucher is interresting too for that, the Furch definitively sucks in that category. Will definitively try out a boucher for cords and fingering. For flatpicking, well the furch is just the best. Flat out.

[@phillecompte3438]

Totally prefer the Boucher no second thought about it .

[@seanbierbower7673]

I’m 35 now and I bought a Taylor GS8 when I was 20. For the last 15 years I’ve played every brand of acoustic for one I liked more than my Taylor. I never found one until today when I played and then purchased a Furch Yellow D CR. It’s the nicest guitar I’ve ever played or heard by a large margin. I’m addicted to playing it and will have it my whole life. Thank you so much to this wonderful company. Thanks to all the men and women who work at Furch. Greatly appreciate it with all my heart 🙏❤️

[@jamescoughlan8193]

Good for you I'm hoping to get the Furch red master series as my 60th birthday present next year, I'm only a basic player so it's very indulgent of me , just hope I grow old with it lol. They are such good value. Enjoy your new baby.

[@MultiRandman]

I own a Furch and it's the best guitar I've owned. I am drawn to the Boucher for strumming, still like the Furch for finger picking.

[@scolabass]

All 3 sounded amazing but that Boucher, my goodness, what on earth? Did a choir of angels build that? I'm just speechless.

[@aliwhitwell]

Had a guy in playing a Boucher today in my session and it really blew me away! Amazing powerful sound. A serious contender for my next guitar.

[@drothberg3]

I preferred the Martin, which was somewhat surprising to me. It had the best balance of bottom end and top end, and just sounded right to me.

[@buckmax5248]

the Martin sounds evenly full and rich highs and lows

[@davidkellogg9176]

Thank you very much for providing this comparison. I find that the Martin's sound harkens to an older style guitar, on which individual strings are not equally distinguished from one another and the overall impression is a wee bit compressed or 'boxy' while the Boucher, to my ear, offers both greater distinction between strings and a more open sound than the HD-28. Bear in mind that each of these instruments is being captured by a microphone and heard --most often-- through the limited sound capability of a computer. While I like the sound of all three instruments, I would also like to hear how they blend with the human voice; that's diagnostic for my use of the guitar. I have a 2020 D-28 Standard, play it regularly and prefer the sound --as presented here-- of the Boucher, and I will soon travel to audition the new Boucher torrified maple guitars of the SR series. In my experience, Martin guitars can vary quite considerably from one instrument to another within the same model designation. If you audition a Martin, may I suggest that you play several of the same model before making a choice? Had I known that a couple of years ago, I would have saved myself quite a lot of time, inconvenience and some money, too. Cheers

[@acousticsong-guitarco964]

The Martin is 10 years old, that’s why. The other two are brand new.

[@karlburmeister1552]

@@acousticsong-guitarco964 Agreed. It sounds way warmer than the other 2 and that's the reason. It will be interesting to see how the others age.

[@claude-renepiette1131]

Great comparison,very well done, thanks guys !

[@cherrypickerguitars]

The Boucher kills it! The guitars they’ve made in the last ten years are fabulous! There is a distinct advantage to having the best Adirondack in the whole wide world! Also, they have mastered the torrefication process! I’m Canadian, and an acoustic guitar builder and I think the Bouchers produced now, are among the very best boutique guitars in the world! Peace

[@dean8842]

Agreed!

[@redson425]

The Martin is on a class of its own in the Strumming and Flatpicking sections with the Boucher coming 2nd. The Fingerstyle belongs to the Furch, its clarity and tone sets it above the others with the Boucher 2nd. That Boucher....I frankly have never heard of them before but I want to hear it again! Really quite an outstanding guitar. Great video. Thanks.

[@cornelgherasim5684]

And when you think that "boucher" in French means butcher!🤔😊

Right On

Nice battle, I do own a Boucher and it is outstanding. Thank you.

[@TomiBonTomi_2.0]

The Furch is my long-time companion, live or recording, first choice , never regret !

[@stratocaster729]

Boucher all the way !

[@el34glo59]

Yeah they're nice. But it had an Adi top, so if you're looking for that sound it's clear the Adi had alot to do with it. Put a authentic Martin up here and you'd hear that Boucher on steroids

[@howardmakely2169]

These are great guitars, well built. Thanks for the demo.

[@samkim2563]

Never heard of Boucher before and I'm impressed! It sounds the deepest out of these 3, most resonating and bigger sound. Their "B" letter looks similar to Breedlove's, I don't know why they didn't avoid that. Anyway, I love Martin, was going to get HD-28E, but suddenly I'm interested in trying out Boucher SG52.

[@ryanblevins3483]

I was absolutely blown away by the HD-28! The others sounded great but IMO there was a huge gap between the Martin and the other two. Strumming was the Martin easily, flatpicking Martin, fingerpicking was the closest out of the three but I still would go with the Martin for fingerpicking with the Furch in a very close second. Overall hands down the Martin. Just my opinion--they all sound wonderful!

[@skaybaltimore]

I've never really been a Martin fan, and while all 3 guitars sounded nice, I preferred the D-28 the best.

[@zzzenguitar]

I enjoyed the demo and find that the 3 guitars all sound very similar. I own 2 vintage Martins and just sold a Boucher Goose. 2 days ago Luke sold me a Furch Vintage 1 rs-sr and so far I'm very happy with it's strong voice and excellent articulation. Just so you know where I'm coming from, I started playing guitar in 1964 at the age of 12 and have owned well over 100 guitars in my mostly professional, playing life. I would not hesitate to recommend Furch guitars to anyone.

[@josejcastaneda5826]

Thanks for the recommendation. You can’t go wrong with any of these guitars. Except, the warranty and how it feels when you play it. Martin beats the Furch on the warranty for limited life time. The Furch has 3 years only. But I think the Furch feels better when you play it, more live, vibrating in your gut, maybe a little more volume and possibly just a bit easier to play. I have never played a Boucher. I don’t know what the warranty is on those and how they feel when you play it. The cost difference should be considered also. Since their tonal qualities are so close. You could throw customer service in case they come up with issues that need repairs. But, let me just go back to the most important thing that they all have, a wonderful tone. The number one thing for Martin guitars is tone, the number one thing for Furch is tone and it sounds like Boucher too. Will your ears tell you to fall in love for a very minimal tonal difference between one another?

[@JohnDoe-tw8es]

I have two Martins which I love, just tried a Boucher at the music store and was really impressed. Feel like going back to buy it now I know more about it.

[@toraow]

The HD28 sounds like what an acoustic guitar should sound like to me. Then I heard the Boucher and the low end growl and ovetones blew my mind. Would be nice to own both

[@jimmycollette9209]

I have a hd-28 but the boucher seams to have more low end punch like my d-35. Don't think you can go wrong with either.

[@michaelwebster8389]

That HD-28 sounded amazing. The Boucher was great - and possibly the Furch for fingerstyle.

[@macraeronnie]

What i heard was really nice balance from the Martin, maybe the best singer/songwriter of the 3. Nice high end shimmer from the Furch that sounded great fingerstyle. But the power and overtones from that Boucher are something you get from a special guitar, and i cant ignore that. if i had to take one (oh, poor me) id have the Boucher.

[@BrickhouseGuitarsKitchener]

Ok, what's your shipping address? LOL!

[@jamesbanuelos8557]

I was passively listening to the video and the Boucher perked my ears up. That warm, but powerful base is unbelievable.

[@daniby9894]

James Banuelos Yeah, Boucher sounds amazing, powerfull and in some spots almost like a piano! It reminds me a bit of Lowden guitars.

[@el34glo59]

Adi top on the Boucher. Grab a Martin GE or Authentic and you have that same if not more power.

[@johnhightower864]

The Boucher has definite sweet sound above the others I love Martin but you can’t ignore what you’re hearing

[@1olddoggie]

Hi Luke! Greetings from Sacramento. Still living my Furch. But in comparison in this video I was surprised that in the strumming, it didn't have nearly as much volume as the other two. Loved them all. I may get a Martin OM at some point.

[@cavedancesinc.6775]

Martin has an extra something to the sound you don't usually find in other guitars. The Furch would likely sound the best in a recording room since the sound is so clean. Never heard of Boucher but will now check them out since it was impressive.

[@genipaisley4340]

I preferred the Boucher overall. It did fall down a little to the Furch in the fingerpicking, but was definitely better for strumming & flatpicking.

[@chrisatkins8382]

Loved the demo! Great playing and wonderful sounding guitars! For a time I owned a Boucher Spruce Goose. It was a nice guitar. Beautiful to look at and had a unique tone. The neck was a little too chunky for me. Same with my Martin D18v. I loved the sound of the D-18v, but the neck profile wasn't great IMO. I do love my Simon and Patrick Showcase Rosewood, however. It sounds fantastic (I sold my Martin the week after I got this S&P) and was always reliable for performing live. I would be interested in another Boucher if they slimmed their neck down.

[@MitaMare]

If I was honest they were all exceptional in my opinion. There were variants between them all. I love listening to good guitars and I could usual notice significant differences. But it was hard to determine in your video which was more outstanding from the others. I've known the reputation and quality of Martin guitars but had never heard of the other 2 makes before today. They're all excellent guitars in sound, depth, quality and finishing quality.

[@nickmoore2476]

Thought the Boucher sounded beautifully warm, that would be my favourite, followed by the Furch.

[@TheNinnyfee]

Yes, the 2 were very close. The Martin was the best flatpicking, but the other two sounded really better overall.

[@gabinlegros1828]

You're right

[@reginaldperiwinkle]

I've preferred Furch in other comparison videos I've seen, but in this one, I found the Martin to be best. It sounded a bit warmer to me. But they're all pretty close.

[@JustinasGrazulis]

Very beautiful "Boom" sound from the Boucher. I hope I have a chance to try it one day (living overseas), though for flatpicking and strumming Furch seems more for my taste - brighter. Between these two I think my choice would depend on a song. Martin sounds okay, but that's all it seems to be :)) Would be keen to hear all on the same wood though!

[@RADThird1]

I liked the Martin the best though when I hear a good 28 I always harken back to the 1969 D-28 I had right after I got my first real job out of college. It was one of the last Brazilians. I can still hear it in my head.

[@wesleywingate2921]

As a lefty, its hard to get anything without waiting a year. Found an Hd28 Ambertone at Adirondack guitar in NY state. The guitar is amazing and addictive to play.

[@supermarioxs1]

All 3 spectacular instruments really, each with it's own vibe... I actually purchased a HD28 (not the anniversary model) and after a couple of weeks a D-41 showed up at the local guitar shop where I got the HD28 and I swapped for the D-41. I'd have my D-41 up against the Boucher, no mic/amp needed btw on the Boucher... lol Each have their own beauty and character , All winners really and the Furch was quite impressive ... If push came to shove I'd probably go for the Boucher, coming from a Martin fan. Cheers...

[@slbolfing56]

I'd say the Furch is definitely the best value! All sounded beautiful, and sounds like a great reason to test drive each one. In the end, it's all about which one speaks to you!!!

I have acoustic and electric guitars from Martin, Yamaha, Cort, Larrivee, Godin, Fender, Kramer, Charvel, Gibson, Washburn, Cole Clark, Supro, and Ibanez...I am not saying this to boast, but just to say that the Boucher sounds like nothing else I have ever heard before. It’s amazingly beautiful. Maybe I love it so much because I do not have anything with Adirondack spruce! lol...you’re inspiring more GAS!! Cool video, great guitars, and wonderful playing! 🐰❤️🎸🎶✌️

I believe the Furch is the most versatile of the three. The mids and high are the most clearly articulated. They seem to kind of jump out, especially the strumming around the seventh fret. The boomy sound of the other two is a little overpowering, but some of that could be coming from the mic setup.

They all sound like all great guitars! I'd want the Boucher or Martin myself. 1. Martin seems to have deepest fullest bass tones. 2. Furch has more of a nice flatter mid-tone sound [didn't like that high note rattle @ 4:02 ]. 3. Boucher seems to have the fullest tones on all frequencies, not just the bass side. It resonates even in mid and high tones which is pretty cool.

[@daveventura1246]

I agree; they're all great. Listen at 0:48 then at 1:48 the Boucher even beats the Martin on deeper fuller bass tones.

[@henrytobelmann2485]

No doubt they are all cool guitars. Disclaimer, my own 'go to' guitar is a Furch Om; it is sweet for finger style and playing on the porch, mind you I don't have the talent or chops that Corey Heuvel has in his left pinkie toe. He could undoubtedly make an $80.00 Washburn Disney Hanah Montana model sound like an Ervin Somogyi custom masterpiece... I was impressed that Furch for the most part held its own in the reviews, seeing the Martin has had ten years to open up, the Boucher features a different species top... I wonder (question) if their value's are actually equal to the $800.00 and $1,300.00 price differentials above the Czech model? Are their tones and responsiveness significantly superior to the Furch? Is name recognition playing a part in the ratings - and in the price tag? Before I made my choice, I'd have to hold them in my hands and see if there is one of them I couldn't leave the building without taking her with me.

[@larrydunn4626]

revisiting 3 years later. Still same opinion. Man, Martin just slayed this comparo. such distinct mids. Almost OM type mids.They've really got that prewar bracing brought into the modern era. I wanted to prefer the Boucher but this particular example is quite midbass heavy.

[@whittyd]

To my ear in the fingerstyle the Boucher was so much in a class of its own that I went back to the Martin and Furch to confirm they were actually playing the same piece....

[@scottfishkind5335]

Very interesting comparison! These are all amazing guitars, you couldn't go wrong with any of them. At this level it certainly becomes about personal preference rather than one being "better" than another. Factors such as playing style need to be considered. For flat picking what material and pick thickness one prefers. Does one fingerpick with nails, on the pads of their fingers, or use finger picks (and if so what material are they made from etc). For The sake of context, I have a Furch Yellow Master's Choice Gc-CR, so I tend to be drawn to the way they voice their guitars. In this specific comparison, listening with my headphones (and taking account that KZbin videos don't sound exactly the same as in person due to various factors) I preferred the Boucher in the strumming and flat picking segments and the Furch had more sparkle in the fingerstyle. The Martin, in my opinion, seemed lacking by comparison to the others (though still a wonderful guitar).

[@ArepoEn]

Three excellent guitars, but Furch is my personal choice - especially for fingerstyle.

[@robertmycroft8268]

I have been looking at guitars, and I wanted Boucher to come out on top in the fingerpicking style, but the Martin had a warmer tone to me.

[@markharwood7573]

Plectrum styles: Martin all day long. What surprised me was how I also preferred the Martin for fingerstyle. Didn't see that coming at all. Can't say it's superior, just works better for my ears. Playing the guitars yourself could of course lead to different results, but I've learned something about Martins here at least.

[@georgekraus5777]

Never have had an opportunity to play any of this guitars, mainly, because they are out of my reach. However, they are all really amazing instruments; all three of them. The story of Furch is no question, inspiring, and so is its sound. I would quite easily put the Furch on the par with Martin, and the Bourcher as a very close third. In term of acoustics, the Furch guitar presented here is my favorite.

[@knotwilg3596]

I'll trade a high end guitar for that ability any time. But ... for strumming I'd take the Martin or the Furch (being more pronounced) as the Boucher sounds very heavy, but for fingerpicking I'd take the Boucher (for the same reason). I don't like flatpicking :)
