Boucher does Martin better than Martin does Martin these days ... They compare favorably in time, believe and projection to will maintained real world pre-war vintage Martin's.... If you're going to spend boutique prices.... Don't do it on a name... Get a real bench guitar with the best tone woods in the world.... That are also torrified or cute for decades... Built by hand and hand tuned by Master luthiers....
I played Boucher, Collings and Bourgeois against Martin Customs. They were all good, but different. You cannot say that one brand is just "better" than the other. All are different. And Martin absolutely makes top instruments!
