HemeolaMan -> VISIT WITH RICHARD BRUNé!!!!!!!!! (Apr. 5 2008 3:50:33)
Today I went with a friend to visit brunés shop. we went to isee if we could get his guitar fixed. turns outits still under warranty and brune told us just to get it repaired for free. that took 5 minutes. He entertained us for another 5 and a half hours. =) !!!!!!! What an amazing day! I have never seen soo many valuable and awesome guitars in the same room. I got to play guitars that are twice as old as I am, just simply astounding furthermore, I' sittin around and he hands me a guitar and says "here play this, this is my personal instrument" wakka wakka wakka !!! I also got to check out his first guitar ever, built in 1966 from his parents dining room table! what a sound! after that we toured the workshop, got a few trade secrets, and BEST OF ALL he was just finished restoring a 1863 TORRES GUITAR. I got to take a look inside that guy, and he played some flamenco on it... it was a very loud guitar and what a sound!! Richard bruné is by far one of the most considerate , easy going, and awesome people I´ve ever had the chance to meet. He even invited bme to come and study famous guitar models so that I can make my own drawings and measurements!!! So much done in one day. I am in a cloud!

What a great day!! Sounds amazing, and the sort of thing you can't plan - that's what is so great, when something spontaneous just develops. Thanks for sharing - we are all duly jealous [:'(][:D]

HemeolaMan -> SELF ADHESIVE GOLPEADORS ARE BAD (Apr. 7 2008 4:07:54)
In my visit with richard brune, I also asked him about self adhesive golpeadors, he said that he strictly would not use them. something in the self adhesive EATS FINISHES I guess they are really bad news moral of the story, dont use them If you ever want to be able to change them!

I've used them for many years and can assure you they do not harm lacquer finishes. Removal is not difficult if done properly.

well, to be honest that website hasn't been updated in like 8 years lol. I don't remember which ones, he just kept handing them to me!!! his guitar was obviously a flamenco, and i plaed that, or at least held it tinkered for a while and then decided that I was far too impressed to think of anything to play!!! I can tell you however, that even in the presenc eof the finest instruments around, I still did not go home wanting them, my salvador castillo is the same if not better than the rest. and there were some fine specimens from waaay before I was born!!!! Jshelton, french polish. I dont know if that is the same as lacquer to you. that's what I was told by the man, knowing him he's had to remove quite a few from ages past lol. I don't doubt you, its just that I believe he has some science behind it. you may want to shoot him an email, I don't want to start anything, but he is brune lol.

I don't use french polish just lacquer, that's why I qualified my statement. I understand Brune uses epoxy to apply his golpeadores. You might ask Anders about self adhesive golpeadores over french polish. No criticism of you or Brune intended by the way. I've removed self adhesive golpeadores from our guitars that were simply worn out from years of use and found no damage to the finish at all. What's more scientific than that?

HemeolaMan -> RE: SELF ADHESIVE GOLPEADORS ARE BAD (Apr. 8 2008 3:49:33)
yes. fp is what i'm talking about.

Ricardo -> RE: VISIT WITH RICHARD BRUNé!!!!!!!!! (Apr. 8 2008 3:59:07)
I have hung out with him several times. I never had a chance to go check out his collection, though I have played his own personal guitar. Great player and maker for sure! Tell him I said hi next time. Ricardo

HemeolaMan -> RE: VISIT WITH RICHARD BRUNé!!!!!!!!! (Apr. 8 2008 4:02:55)
HHAHAHAHA! I did say you said hi, we talked about you, I am buying a copy of your cd for him. He told me alll about your father and was absolutely complimentary about you. I said marlow and his face lit up! he told me to send his regards. he also said you need to come in again. =)

I have never removed a golpeador from one of my own guitars, but I´ve removed from other french polished guitars and I´ve seen MANY other FP guitars which has had their golpeador removed. Its tricky but can be done without harming the guitar.

HemeolaMan -> RE: VISIT WITH RICHARD BRUNé!!!!!!!!! (Apr. 9 2008 2:14:25)
I think maybe I will test out various methods of removal and scientifically evaluate them. I'm going to fp a piece of thin wood, a big one. and then I will put golpeadors on different parts of it, and try the various methonds of removal, and see which works est

Who T F is Richard Brune?

HemeolaMan -> RE: VISIT WITH RICHARD BRUNé!!!!!!!!! (Apr. 10 2008 2:00:07)
google. use it. only one of the coolest guys on the planet. and oh yeah, one of the most reputable luthiers out there, who restores antique instruments and has a 6 year waiting list. he wears flannel alot too.

Doitsujin -> RE: VISIT WITH RICHARD BRUNé!!!!!!!!! (Apr. 10 2008 9:13:35)
Ok, I found his page with google. Seems to be a nice shop.

HemeolaMan -> RE: VISIT WITH RICHARD BRUNé!!!!!!!!! (Apr. 11 2008 3:18:28)
you know, flannel is an essential part of the guitar building process, and i'm sure anders would agree that all the best wear flannel shirts .

Stephen Eden -> RE: SELF ADHESIVE GOLPEADORS ARE BAD (Apr. 12 2008 22:44:18)
they dont eat into the polish rather than to tear the polish up i feel this could be a problem in any case. fp is a softer polish therefore much more likly to lift. cirtain things can be used to aid in the lifting process on a fp guitar as long as the agent is not sprit based i.e alchohol. there is an oil based adhesive remover called goo gone available from axminster tools. very good indeed also helpful if someone has stuck silly stickers to a nice guitar or a bedroom door :)
