Zorro02 -> R.E Brune upgrade? (Oct. 23 2007 20:13:08)
|
Hi all,
Currently own Brune 30f and have the opportunity to upgrade to original Brune flamenco model, with my 30f as part exchange.
I am really delighted with the 30f and it really is the best flamenco guitar I have ever played.
As you may already know the 30f was a special project Mr Brune embarked upon in the late 80s and early 90s. He comissioned the Japanese luthier Asturias to make the 30f for him, under his own strict quality control. His name after all, was on the label. I have spoken with Richard personally and he has informed me that less than 24 30fs were constructed.
He informed me that he rates these guitars as good as his own handmade models but due to the cost of exporting wood etc; he had no option but to discontinue the project in 1991.
Original Brune flamenco models rarely come onto the used market and the difference in the price is substantial.
Would I be paying the extra money to have an exclusive Brune model but with similar sound quality and construction, or can expect a much higher specification with a notable difference in sound quality?
