Awesome! Weird coincidence that I just found this guy on Instagram a few days ago. His work looks stellar. Congrats on the new guitar!

If I ever get enough I will have to take up another hobby.

I think it is a sign! It is indeed stellar haha He actually had his laptop stolen recently so he could not upload a lot of his past guitars unfortunately. The pictures you see on his IG are from this year if I'm not mistaken.

EDIT: It's working now!

Hey guys, if any of you are looking to contact Joel via his website, you might not be able to do so at the moment. There seems to be an issue with the contact form on his website which he is seeing to immediately. Let you know when it is fully functional

[Too Many Guitar]

If you want to see and hear Joel's guitars, he will have TWO of his guitars with back and sides from 'The Tree' at the Memphis Acoustic Guitar Festival. www.MemphisAcousticGuitarFest.com

You all wouldn't be surprised who the other build is for

Hey, Marcus, I followed your link to Joel's site a couple days ago and tried to leave a message, but like you say, I think it failed to transmit. May I re-broadcast it here? Thanks.

"Joel! I just got the link to your new website from the AGF, and went for a visit. Here's a raucous, hooting, foot-stomping round of applause for a job well done! I am really, really impressed with all of it. Your guitars are ravishingly beautiful. I am certain your career in lutherie will be highly distinguished, and you will be recognized as one of Planet Earth's best acoustic guitar makers. Best of good fortune to you!
-Steve the Edwinson"

I guess you all can tell, I'm a huge fan of Joel Michaud's work. All of you players out there who are looking for a superlative instrument that is still affordable had better get in line now, because Joel's stock is going nowhere but UP!

Hey Steve, that is SUCH a nice thing to say! Joel is following this thread and is in the midst of attempting to join this forum so we might be seeing more of him in the future I'm sure he will be very touched by your message. I know I was! Haha

And I have to second everything you just said. I have nothing but positive things to say about Joel both as a luthier and as a friend

If I may say so myself, one of his rosettes inspired by yours is one of my favourites and I'm very much looking forward to your guitars here in Singapore's Heirlooms Music

Joel will be building me an 00 with a scoop too. I was really impressed with the sound of his guitars. We will be guitar brothers!
