Default Brondel OM-42, Adirondack and Brazilian - Video Added

This OM is among the best I've played and certainly has the biggest bass of any OM that has come across my lap. The trebles and mids are sweet and powerful. Clarity and overtones are in perfect balance. As a pre-war inspired guitar, it is among the best of the best. I know those who have played it would agree.

Top: Red spruce
Back and sides: Straight, quartersawn Brazilian rosewood
Style: 42
Case: Hoffee, off-white with gold interior
Nut: 1 3/4", Bone
Saddle: 2 3/8", Bone
Bridge: Ebony pyramid
Bridge pins: LeGeyt made super cool pins
Tuners: Waverly

This guitar is in fantastic condition, but it does have some finish checking. I was going to have Laurent re-finish the guitar, but I was so in love with the sound I didn't want to mess with a good thing. Plus, the checking actually makes it appear more vintage. The price reflects this.

Was $13,000. Now $12,000 shipped and PayPaled.

Played the big brother 45 and it was phenomenal which leads me to believe that this one is grail level also.

Extremely tempting indeed.. Every time it gets bumped I have to click on it and making a case for it.

Amazing. The finish checking only adds to the charm imo.
