A guitar for the long haul: our 2008 Brondel A2 in Sapele and Spruce. This gorgeous piece of lutherie fits the 14-fret 000 niche to a T with a dynamic response, crisp bass, and an affinity to fingerpicked open tunings just as much as flatpicking fiddle tunes in standard. The C neck features a well-rounded carve, the body is bound in Tortoloid, and Laurent’s fit and finish is so clean it’s almost surgical. We’re very impressed by how consistent the sound is, regardless of what style we played in. The top is very energetic, and has some fierce projection that’s tapped with even a light attack.
It’s rare to find a guitar that's so versatile, but this 2008 Brondel A2 is just that. A great choice for whatever genre suits your fancy today, and tomorrow.
