▪ Simon Burgun won French national recognition for his reproduction of a Rene LaCote Romantic guitar. Yes, my American friends; they really are that civilized over there on The Continent. In this article Simon shows how he made the rosewood-veneered neck with a grafted peghead and heel. See AL#154 for his article on reproducing the spectacular MOP-and-ebony rosette using period-appropriate machinist’s techniques.
