The metal inlays on the back strip and rosette are set in post-finish. This means that the brushed brass is not covered by any finish and you can feel the metal for what it is. Quite a nice touch (no pun intended) if you ask me I shall pass the message on!

Photo shoot!
So I've finally gotten the studio photos from Joel Michaud for the latest addition to my family. Apologies for not posting more about this beauty as I have been terribly busy with setting up this new dealership
So without further ado, here are some photos of my glorious Michaud Made! Joel's gorgeous cutaway + scratch pad with the rosette theme carried on - genius Perfectly quartered Brazilian Rosewood + brushed brass inlays set into the back strip And possibly the highlight of this masterpiece - the headstock. It comes with a Matsuda inspired extended bass with Joel's own touch of the banjo capo, and Keith locking banjo tuners on the trebles

Thanks Paul! I think so too
You know it Larry Quote:
Thanks Bob! I am guilty of being too busy to play this beauty much with the setting up of The Golden Era Guitar and all, but I still feel so lucky every time I pick up this guitar.

I haven't really described the sound of this guitar yet and I am still looking to do a recording of this sometime in the near future so look out for it
So Joel really hit it out of the park with this one, evidently from the pictures. It is possibly my favourite guitar to date, but maybe I am biased, who knows haha it has Joel's signature tone to it, which is full of balance and clarity. If I had to describe the tone of this particular Michaud Made in one word, that word would be "PURE". It really is the purest sounding guitar I've played which might not be for everyone. The fundamental is strong with a light cloud of overtones trailing behind it, without a hint of muddiness. Absolutely perfect for the kind of fingerstyle I like to play. It strikes a good balance between projection and surrounding the player in terms of sound. The guitar still has some opening up to do, but it is already very loud and responsive right off the bench when I received it. The bass is very full, but not overbearing. The trebles too are very fat with a nice sparkle to it, and just the right amount of volume to balance out with the rest of the registers. As you can probably tell, the guitar has quite a few features that I am still exploring how to play with, namely the extended bass and locking banjo tuners. Meanwhile, you can check out this link to see the guitar in action with me playing a short snippet of Jon Gomm's "Passionflower". https://www.instagram.com/p/Bc3rRorlzLR/

Congrats Marcus
I've never seen such a sophisticated headstock! Has Joel been partnering with the NASA on this one?
Seriously I can only imagine it will add even more color to your already stellar playing. Great job on Passionflower btw, with the singing on top of it! Also, great pictures showing how a fruitful collaboration can turn into a long-standing friendship. Cheers, Tom |

Wowsa! Or, to quote Larry......Holy crap! What a beautiful instrument...but also a flat out "machine" Marcus! this should help you attain that next level....but, you're pretty far up there now! New heights await, I'm sure.
Congrats, Fred

This guitar was really "made for" you. So impressive, as is your playing. You are so lucky to have two very different, incredible instruments by Joel.
I know you are busy, but it would really cool if someday you could record the same music with both guitars and blend them in and out, or record them left and right. No pressure or anything |

Thanks Barry!

Thanks so much! And it is really true; being introduced to luthier built guitars (and of course Joel) has really changed my life and hence my decision to start a business in selling such instruments Quote:

Hahaha I am actually planning to do something along those lines with an OM-R Moon Spruce/African Blackwood that my friend has since one of the only differences is the back/sides. But sure I could possibly do that with all 3 Michauds Thanks Johnny!!
