About 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.
About Brickhouse Guitars
Brickhouse Guitars operates out of a converted brick house on Lancaster Street in Kitchener, Ontario — the building's history is the shop's name. The catalog runs across two distinct spaces: a Main Level store carrying the broader retail mix (Godin family acoustics, Furch's accessible-price series, Recording King, Washburn) and an Upper Luthier Gallery upstairs, by-appointment only, where the boutique work lives. The Upper Gallery is anchored by the deepest Furch and Boucher SGI Collection inventory in North America, paired with an unusually consistent stockist relationship with the Quebec luthier community — Michel Pellerin, Julien Sublet, Dontcho Ivanov, Théo Kazourian, and Bouchereau all appear regularly. Sheldon Schwartz and TreeHouse Guitars from Ontario, Ciarán McNally from Northern Ireland, and Hozen's tiered line round out the boutique slate. Pre-owned inventory rotates through Santa Cruz, Collings, Bourgeois, and other high-end American shops. The shop also operates Octane Studios at The Octave Music Centre, a sister recording space where the shop's video demos are recorded — useful context for shoppers comparing online demos against the live instrument. For shoppers focused on Furch, Boucher, or the Quebec luthier community, Brickhouse is the deepest single-dealer catalog in Canada.
