Kopo guitars?

[Mick-7]

Does anyone have an informed opinion about Kopo guitars? - made by a French luthier. Thank you.

So to me sometimes it’s fun to redesign the classic designs. But the French love Art, as much as the function itself,Lol!

My informed opinion is that the user interface of that website sucks donkeys, but the Sel-Mac style guitar he made sounds absolutely wonderful.

I absolutely love his nylon-strung archtops but sadly his prices were above my budget when we discussed them last year.

Fred seems to be a serious builder with interesting designs. He regularly has an instrument at a big store not too far from CDG airport: Guitares Kopo - Guitare Village

For what it's worth, this guitar is what led me to ask the question, I messaged the seller about it but got no reply and then a week or so later the listing was terminated, maybe he sold it locally -- Kopo Malaga Nylon Baryton Guitar

You could probably have messaged Fred Pons directly. Given the asking price this must have been one of his older models but I'd expect him to remember enough of it.
