Bashkin Bellezza with custom Calton case

aaron1433 · #1 04-09-2012, 12:17 PM

Guitar SOLD pending shipment and approval.

2008 Bashkin in excellent condition.
Upgrades include: Adirondack top, and some exceptionally fine (according to Michael), Indian Rosewood. Cutaway, and pickguard and upgraded Calton case (honey beige/pewter).

nut width is 1 23/32"

This guitar would cost $8850+ if spec'd/ordered. This one has a pickguard on account that there's a blem on the top. I bought the guitar otherwise brand new from Michael himself. I just wanted to mention it. I've never seen the blem myself nor would I personally care to remove the pickguard. Mike has told me it's small and he got it almost 100% removed, but almost wasn't good enough for him, so he went with the pickguard.

The website description matches the character of this instrument very well.

Probably some folks wondering what the nut width and saddle spacing are.....

updated nut width. can't recall the saddle spacing, and I don't trust my measurements enough to post. I'm sure they are what Michael would typically use on a Bellezza, as this wasn't a custom build. It was one that he made without a buyer giving him specific measurement preferences.

Best of luck on your sale Aaron. Making headway on my end but not there yet.

Folks, this is one heck of a fine guitar and a great deal! The size is a bit larger than the Placencia, the Bashkin most people see and hear. That said, it would be a wonderful guitar for either fingerpicking or flatpick. Let me also put in a plug for Aaron. He's a class act. Buy with confidence.
