The guitar is beautiful. I've always been a fan of Michael's work.

Congratulations Diamond Dave. Welcome to the club. That is a nice looking guitar.

Haven't had a chance to play any of Michaels newer guitars. Are they very different tonally?

Awesome!

Hi Burton! Sounds familiar, I felt the same way about YOUR guitar, and now I own it...! Bit by the one strum bug...

I can't speak for ALL of Michaels recent works, but as I was explaining in my review, this guitar has a lot more vintage influence to the tone than any of his older builds I've played... I've always considered his guitars in a pretty strict finger style category...

I have loved every Bashkin I've played, and he is such an awesome guy!

[StringMeUp]

Michael is a great guy. Congratulations!

I recall a podcast interview where bashkin said he had changed his tonal profile in his newer builds to stress oreon the fundamental as compared to his earlier builds.

Oh my word... I remember seeing that guitar in Santa Barbara. You are a very lucky man! Congratulations!

Thanks for all the comments and views Folks... Go Bashkin!

I just recorded an iPhone clip, I normally play with a thumb pick, but this guitar records too loud and is on crack... I ditched the plastic and went bare fingers and it came through good enough... I don't know how to adjust levels etc, I'm a dummy point and shoot kinda of guy... maybe I'll learn the basics and get some simple gear one day I hope... I hear people talk about compression and eq, and i say WHAT!
