Hi everybody, I didn't see any "introducing topic" so I do it here...
I read you since few years but didn't post anything, it's time to repair it.
First I apologize for my KatastrofiK english... I'm french oops_sign ... and I hope this will be a way for me to refresh my old school English...
I'm a guitar luthier in Britanny, electric, classical and folk, also some bass guitars and time to time archtop.
Hope to talk lutherie with you all soon ;)

Welcome, Franck, to the posting world of OLF. Your web site is very nice, though I didn't understand much of the text. However, your guitars speak for themselves. Beautiful work.

must be quite a few luthiers around Britanny. i took a course in Saskatchewan with a man from there. Morgan Gilet, he has been building for a little while and sings and plays in a band named Sterne. they play traditional Britanny folk music. if you ever get a chance to see them do it, he is a beautiful singer and one hell of a mandolin player. oh and welcome :P

Thanks everybody for this welcome :D
P@ul, I don't think there are so many luthiers in Brittany but it is for sure a musician country, and not only "biniaouer" (biniou's player) and "talabarder" (bombardo's player) ;)
