Laurent Brondel’s Honeycaster Hybrid is a stunning fusion of classic Fender design elements, artfully blending Stratocaster and Telecaster traditions into a singular boutique instrument. Finished in a lightly aged Firemist Silver nitrocellulose lacquer, this one-off build radiates understated elegance, accented by a custom Spitfire pickguard and beautifully contoured alder body.
The curly maple neck is matched with a round-lam Amazon rosewood fingerboard, carved to a comfortable Chunky “C” profile that evokes the feel of late-’50s Fender necks. It features a 9.5" radius, Jescar 51100 nickel-silver fretwire, and a bone nut, offering an ideal balance of vintage warmth and modern playability.
Under the hood, this Honeycaster packs a pair of Ron Ellis Signature humbuckers, delivering a wide tonal palette—from articulate, shimmering cleans to harmonically rich overdrive—with exceptional dynamic response.
Hardware appointments include a Kluson short Tele bridge with Rutters intonated steel saddles, Gotoh staggered vintage tuners, and meticulous setup for superb tuning stability and resonance.
Weighing in at a comfortable balance point, the Honeycaster Hybrid exemplifies Brondel’s obsessive attention to detail and tone. It ships in a G&G custom hardshell case.
