Boucher GR-HG-166-T (OOO) - Torrefied Adirondack Spruce & Torrefied Curly Maple

Our Take:

Boucher really knows what they are doing with maple. This OOO features torrefied, 5A (!) flamed maple that is stunning both visually and sonically. The maple kind of steals the show, but this guitar also features one of the nicest pieces of torrefied red spruce we've ever seen, and the whole guitar has a beautful honey-glow to it. Boucher's description of the tone as "percussive, deep, rich, woody" is spot-on, and the playability is world-class. Easily one of the nicest 12-fret OOO's we have played. Schedule some time to come demo this guitar, you won't regret it! As with all Boucher's, the build quality is impeccable.

From Boucher:

Furthermore, this 000-12 fret guitar is distinguished by its exclusive, flamboyant appearance!
