Default SOLD Brondel A-2c Essential, Adirondack and Figured Mahogany, Hoffee Case

This guitar really changed my outlook on what an acoustics should sound like and forever sealed my fate as a vintage-oriented guitar lover. It's a wonderful instrument with great projection, power, and tone. The neck carve is exquisite. It originally came with an Access case but that has since been upgraded to a Hoffee carbon fiber case. The end pin has been enlarged to accommodate a pickup installation (but there is no pickup currently installed).

- Adirondack spruce top, figured mahogany back and sides
- Honduran mahogany neck
- 25.6" scale length
- cutaway
- Very cool, NOS German celluloid nitrate binding
- Brazilian rosewood fretboard, bridge, and headstock veneer
- Bone nut and saddle
- Waverly nickel tuners with oval buttons
- Ebony bridge and end pins with abalone dots
- Abalone dot side markers
- Double acting truss rod
- 1 3/4" nut
- 2 5/16" saddle
- Upgraded, custom fit Hoffee case (upgraded from original Access hard shell)

Condition is excellent. There are some bumps and scratches and a small dent in the back of the neck. This was the guitar that forever changed my tastes in acoustic guitars (for the better). I will miss it. Ugh.

Note: The bridge was re-slotted, but the repair is very hard to see. The original saddle was in the wrong location.

$6,500 shipped and Paypaled. No trades.

Is this a 650mm scale length? And could I have a pic of the saddle height or measurement at the high E.
