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.
Burgo's Guitars
Burgo's Guitars is a by-appointment shop in Palmer Lake, a small town on the Front Range between Denver and Colorado Springs, built around the idea that choosing a handmade guitar should be unhurried — visits happen in a private demo room off a climate-controlled showroom, at whatever pace the player wants. The selection is tight rather than broad: Santa Cruz, Bourgeois, Boucher and Huss & Dalton alongside top-end Larrivée, with a standing shelf for local and small-shop luthiers. It reads as a room assembled by someone who plays them all.
