DD, thanks for sharing!
Those Brondels look SWEET! I absolutely LOVE the Brazilian on those babies. I was really impressed with the Brondel I played at Luthiers Collection years ago. It definitely caught my ear and put him on my short list of luthiers to look out for. I've also started jonesing for a boutique electric, and I'm very curious about Brondel's electrics. Keep the show and tell coming!!!! |

Like Juston, I have one of Laurent’s “Honeycasters” (Tele) with Charlie Chistian PUs. Fantastic guitar...

I own both an A2 Essential and a Brondel Honeycaster Strat. The A2 was Laurent’s first Wenge body at my request. I already had three Brazilian bodied guitars purchased in the 80s, 90s, and 2003. By 2010 Brazilian was so expensive I looked for alternatives. My research revealed that Sobell and Somogyi had both started using Wenge as an alternative. I couldn’t be happier with the choice of it. Laurent installed a K&K in it. It cuts through during live gigs with a band.
The Strat is a hard tail with a Mahogany body, Telecaster bridge and pickup that gives me a classic twang in a Strat body. With EVO gold frets, they are jumbo enough to give me the best playability of all my electrics. Tone wise it is just amazing through my Tweed Deluxes turned up to 3.
