Wonderful video Jeremy! We are so trilled by the release of this first video. It was such a pleasure having you at the workshop for three days. A great opportunity to connect with a truly wonderful human being. Thank you very much from the whole crew. We really hope that you enjoyed your stay!

@@LesGuitaresBoucher vous êtes une compagnie vraiment honnête et semblez être si accueillante/chaleureuse, vous représentez bien la qualité du Québec 🤝
Thanks for introducing me to Boucher Guitars! I just purchased an SG52 BCV from a Quebec dealer through Reverb. Can't wait for it to arrive. It joins my collection of: 1997 Olson SJ (built for me by Jim), Santa Cruz D12 Brazilian, Collings CJ45AT, Bourgeois OM Vintage Addy, Huss & Dalton DS, Martin D18, and Gibson J200. Love your channel!
I'm originally from South Eastern New Brunswick which is not far from where you were. Your video got me to look up their location. Did they take you to Tims? Drive through coffee from Tims is a Canadian tradition? Saw the cup on the desk, lol. Can't get much more French Canadian and rural than eastern rural Quebec. Wonderful people and area to spend in outdoors. I had no I idea they were actually east of Trois-Rivières (Three Rivers). Assume you flew to Quebec City and drove the rest of the way. Almost feel there would have been good material for 2 episodes.
I’ve owned a Boucher for about 5 years now. There is something special about them that’s hard to put a finger on. A secret sauce that seems to only come from rural Quebec. Every note and chord is somehow elevated compared to any other big name brand I’ve owned over the years. I loved seeing the workshop - thanks for sharing.
Jeremy. I am so proud of you. You are an inspiration to all of us. I watched as you pondered a dead end. Your survival has etched a scene of optimism that I need to see. God bless you and thanks for hanging in there.
Welcome to Canada, Jeremy! Thanks for the fast peak inside Boucher's workshop and I'm looking forward to more content from your Boucher trip. I'm blessed to play an SG-41-G (mahogany) and an SG-21-S (bubinga). I'd love to learn more about the lumber milling/wood supply aspect of Robin's enterprise. Details on this seem scant.
Thank you very much for making this great video Jeremy! There is such a good vibe that can be felt. Video is super well executed too, just so many beautiful shots! Congratulations!
I’m so glad you had the opportunity to go visit Boucher. It’s funny, when you look at nearly any guitar, the end result is very similar . . . but the journey is quite unique from company to company. I will never get tired of seeing the innovations each brands comes up with in order to come up with a stellar final result. I felt your pain when you knocked that guitar. You nearly stopped breathing! Thank goodness it was just the strap button!
Im glad you said so; it should Never be about "if youre better than the next guy". Play from your heart and that's all that matters. And Jeremy is a great player cuz of that and cuz it sounds beautiful.
Welcome to Canada! I think that was the same guitar as my Boucher. SG-51V? Amazing Guitars. Great video! But tell me we get more than 7 minutes of content from your time at Boucher!
@@JeremySheppard now that it's just you and me, deep in the reply toggle of my comment... You made a video a while back saying the world needs mediocre guitar players. Well I answered the call 🤣 I put up some videos and It would mean a lot to me if you checked it out. I'm on a mission to cure loneliness by teaching people to make music that makes people happy. It's not very different from your mission. Thanks for being such an encouraging person all these years, and being authentic and vulnerable to your audience. Seriously, you're one of my heroes (even though we're the same age).
In the Army when you drop your weapon by accident you have to get down and start knocking out some pushups . Jeremy we need a video of you doing pushups big guy .
@@rosewoodsteel6656 hi. To get what Boucher offers in Martin, you'd pay $12000 American. That's what JP means,give guitar players more chances to afford these great guitars,and not make a std D28 $4000
@@christopherwillemse Thanks, Christopher. I understand Boucher is top notch! But if I recall correctly, JP was complaining about Martin being out of the price range for the average player and insinuated they were pricing players out of the market. My comment, at the time, was they were just keeping up with inflation over the years. Just to clarify, I am not comparing general production Martins to Boucher's. :)
@@rosewoodsteel6656 yeah bud,problem is these days their quality control is not great... I stay halfway around the globe in South Africa,and even here our major repair luthier sits with at least 3 Martin repairs per month,from binding coming loose,to braces to yeah... So for the price Martin is charging with all their claimed inflation,if you spend your equivalent $4000 at a dedicated small luthier of quality,you can get a monster guitar. Take Maestro Hozen guitars,unreal guitars made by a guy trained by Somogyi. Take Robin Boucher who grades like 15000 Adi tops give or take per year.... These people are producing out of this world quality at the same price Martin is producing a run of the Mill HD28... That later might experience binding issues,and people buy them just because of the Headstock....
Ha! Glad that love tap worked out for you! When I was 20ish, I was playing with a friend & for some reason we decided to switch guitars. As I was handing him my Martin D-28, I let go of it a micro second before he had a grip on it. The guitar was pointed straight up & down & it hit the concrete floor on the end pin. It was forced straight through the side into the guitar body. Several huge cracks including separated shards of wood. I kept it & finally found a repair guy who put it back together months after the accident. Ouch. Still makes me cringe.
Oops. That was a high “pucker factor” moment. I can sympathize. I’ve handled guitars priced as high as $50K and am afraid to even strum them with a pick. One particular guitar was a vintage Gibson once owned by Buck Owens, whom I used to watch on Hee Haw during my rugrat years. It looked like it had been ridden hard and put away wet and had crazy finish checking everywhere. I just brushed my fingers across the strings and gently handed it back. To Mr. Owens though it was probably just another tool in the toolbox I suppose and had said all it needed to say.
I saw Loretta Lynn’s epiphone once at Ernest tubs record store and was offered to play it 😂 had that same feeling. But I tuned it and played it for about 30 seconds and handed it back lol.
@@JeremySheppard That is the same guitar I recently purchased (SG-51 MV). Absolutely incredible. Really enjoy your videos...especially the recent one regarding the Waterloo.
Thats why when you go into a guitar shop there are chairs for you to sit down and cradle the instrument. I always take my coat or jacket off. No metal buttons or zippers to scratch the back . I have no respect for someone who drops guitars,does not use a guitar stand and props the instrument on a chair or up against the wall duh.. or leaves the instrument locked up in a burning hot or freezing cold car. Duh..
Oui... But when completing the Boucher order form, you will find a section where you can choose between English or French. Make sure to select the French option, as the necks vary between the two versions. (The French version includes accents.)
The stuff of nightmares. A while ago I played a 1937 d18 and didn’t get told what it was until I was already holding it. Super quick mathematics in my head and a mini anxiety attack dwelling on what would happen if I dropped it 😂😂😂😂😂
@@rosewoodsteel6656 I would’ve loved to be able to say it’s just a bunch of wood glued together with some strings like the brand new ones and later models But mate, she was magical. Sound and tone and feel that just filled the room. If I ever win a lottery it’s on the list, but my mortgage deposit cost less than it so it’s nice to say atleast I played one 😂
I sold my Martin D35, so I could afford to buy a Boucher. A year later... no regrets. The only downside, I've stopped looking for new guitars, you can't improve on perfection.
@@rosewoodsteel6656 Expect a price of a Boucher to be at least $1000 higher than that of a standard D-35 model. However, the quality of materials and craftsmanship of a standard Martin guitar will not be on par with a Boucher. A Boucher guitar can be likened to acquiring a custom Martin, but at a more affordable price. And because Boucher has a significant advantage in terms of the wood used, (with the sale of over 20,000 Adirondack tops per year), they are able to reserve the finest ones for their own production, ensuring that the wood quality in Boucher guitars is superior. Note: In 2 days Martin produces more guitars than Boucher makes in a year. So when a guitar leaves the shop... it's been carefully inspected.
