Boucher Guitars

Boucher Guitars are built in Berthier-sur-Mer, Quebec, in the Canadian Appalachians. Founded by Robin Boucher in 2005, the shop is anchored by a regional resource most builders dream about — Picea Rubens, the same Adirondack red spruce traditionally associated with golden-era Martin and Gibson tops, harvested from the surrounding forests. Boucher uses the best of these tops in their own guitars and supplies several thousand per year to other top acoustic builders worldwide — one of the only boutique luthiers who is also a tier-one tonewood supplier to the industry. They were the first to introduce torrefied Picea Rubens soundboards, which specialty magazines and luthiers have called the most significant innovation in high-end acoustic guitar in forty years. The catalog spans Dreadnought through Parlor across 12-fret and 14-fret variants, each guitar hand-built over twelve weeks.

The Fellowship of Acoustics

The Fellowship of Acoustics (TFOA) is a destination acoustic shop in Dedemsvaart, eastern Netherlands, run by Rudi Bults and his family since 2001 — what started as a barn-side business has grown into one of Europe's largest specialty guitar shops, housed since 2015 in a former town hall ("Villa Dina") that holds upwards of a thousand guitars. From the start, TFOA bet on selling worldwide in English from a small Dutch town, focused entirely on quality handmade instruments rather than mass-market volume. The villa houses retail, a luthier workshop with their "Gold Standard" setup and a PLEK machine for precision fret work, plus a small theatre and a music school under the same roof. Their boutique acoustic shelves run deep on Bourgeois, Collings, Santa Cruz, Lowden, Furch, Goodall, and Huss & Dalton, alongside a strong vintage and consigned catalog.
