Default Laurent Brondel A2 Brazilian German Artisan Guitar Show Build Thread

Howdy Folks, Laurent is building me a guitar that will be displayed at the upcoming Artisan Guitar Show in Harrisburg PA, April 14-16... If you are attending the event, be sure to check her out in person and give Mr Brondel a High Five for me...

This guitar is the final instrument of a deal we made a few years back that involved trading my stash of old Brazilian sets i collected over the years. See attached link for the first 2 guitars that were completed already, they have been absolute favorites of mine... The first two are 25.6 and 25.375 scale, one with an ebony fingerboard/bridge and the other snakewood fingerboard/bridge... and this 3rd with be a 25 inch scale with a Brazilian fingerboard/bridge....

I admit having 3 similar guitars is total overkill and unnecessary, lol, I'm doing so because Laurent is a favorite luthier of mine, and I'm in love and inspired every time I crack the cases... building and playing guitars is the biggest passion in my life, what's more fun than this... Switching back and forth between my two Brondel's this past year has filled countless hours with joy, Thanks Laurent...!

I'll attach pics i have so far and will update as i receive more... Some of the pics im uploading are viewing sideways, In my phone they are right side up, not sure how to fix, pardon me... Thanks for viewing...

I gave Laurent permission to use his artistic judgment and build whatever he desires... he's made some awesome suggestions im really excited to see come together...
