David in Paris, Part 1

So David Collett went to Paris, poor thing, to pick up a new guitar from Daniel Friederich, and while there he stopped in with a few of the French luthiers we represent to see how our guitars were coming along and to say hi. Following are some photos he took with, and in the neighborhoods of, Friederich, Dominique Field, Jean Noël Rohé and Thomas Norwood. As always, click on the images to see them bigger.

Here’s Daniel Friederich, the grand-master of French luthiery, playing the new 2011 guitar that David just picked up for GSI. One of those cedar tops is for GSI’s next guitar.
