The Brondel Spark II is Laurent Brondel’s refined interpretation of the classic single cut electric guitar. Built one instrument at a time in his small shop in rural Maine, the Spark II takes the familiar foundation of a Les Paul style guitar and gives it a lighter, thinner and more elegant feel.
This example features a maple top over Honduran mahogany with a beautiful amber nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The body is thinner than a traditional Les Paul, making the guitar noticeably more comfortable while retaining the warmth, sustain and authority associated with the maple and mahogany combination. A 24 3/4” scale length and 1 11/16” nut width keep the playing feel immediately familiar.
A pair of Ron Ellis Signature humbuckers provide exceptional clarity, balance and harmonic detail, controlled through a traditional two volume and two tone layout. An ebony headstock veneer completes the understated aesthetic.
Laurent’s approach has always centered around building lightly, carefully matching woods and allowing the natural beauty of the materials to remain at the forefront. His instruments are individually built with an emphasis on rich tone, clarity, dynamic response and comfortable playability.
