French luthier at gruhn guitars

[BluegrassPhilfromFrance]

Back from a canadian exhibition, our good friend and soon-to-be "master luthier" Hervé Coufleau had the pleasure to be asked by Mister George Gruhn in person, to have his newest creation "The Absinthe" taken to Nashville to be sold at Gruhn Guitars. Here are some pictures of this beautiful babe :

You're absolutely right and since Lefty is a good friend of mine and so is Hervé Coufleau, as we say in France : "mieux vaut deux fois qu'une !" and most of all, I do LOVE this mandolin and it really is MY CUP OF TEA !#http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

So, when this gentleman reports to Gruhn's will he be applying French polish as part of his assignment?

It's sure is blue. Guess I'm more into traditional looking mando's. I bet it sounds good or Gruhn's wouldn't be interested in it.
