Default Boucher NGD ... Private Stock Flamed Maple OM
Well, after trying many and wanting one as my next guitar, I got me this one-of-a-kind Boucher OM. Flamed Maple under AAAA Adirondack. It has a pretty high eye-catching factor but what sold me is the stunning sound coming out of it. From what I gather this maple is from this one tree out of BC where the owner of Timbre Tonewood told Robin (Boucher) about a maple he'd never seen the like of in 40 years. Here's the result of that collaboration.

Anyway, I am a looking forward to many good years out of this one.

Wow! That is stunning! Congrats on the Boucher...I have a SG-21 OM and a SG-42 dread. Both are great guitars. Robin's OM's can run with a lot of dreads...they are stellar guitars...enjoy!

I played a Boucher flame maple OM a couple months ago in a shop. It would have gone home with me if I hadn’t just bought a guitar. Sounded and looked beautiful. You chose well!

That is a gorgeous set of maple! I've played a few Boucher's over the years, and all have been great guitars. No doubt this one delivers! Congrats!

Wow! Fantastic guitar. I watched JP review another guitar made from that tree, and realized what a very special instrument it was. You are a very lucky person! Enjoy it forever!

Very nice looking guitar - the back is lovely, but the sides look to be just as striking. I've never seen a Boucher, but if it sounds as good as it looks...

I love the paint in the Adirondack. Very beautiful.

Congratulations! That is so beautiful. Edge bindings and rosette and tuning pegs add a lovely accent to that breathtaking Maple.
