Why We Love This

This Koa & Red Spruce dreadnought from luthier Laurent Brondel offers up a hypnotic blend of artistry and craftsmanship. We tend to look past dreadnoughts with a cutaway -- but that's impossible to do here. This guitar may have the smallest amount of soundboard area between soundhole edge and cutaway we've ever seen; and as much as it is visually arresting, it does aid the player's ability to reach the upper region of the fretboard. Shockingly light and responsive for a dreadnought, this guitar has alluring tone to match its looks: all the woody power of an old D-18 & the sparkle of something mysteriously modern are on tap. The instrument is exceptionally clean, with no significant cosmetic issues and a lovely setup. Priced with Hoffee carbon fiber flight case, this one is a current shop favorite (to put it mildly).

Please note: used instruments are, well, used. We pride ourselves on thoroughly vetting, and carefully photographing, each pre-owned instrument we sell, but many of them carry subtle signs of handling that can escape even the most discerning eye. If you have questions about the condition of this instrument, we invite you to call us for an in-hand description. We're here to help!
