One of the first guitars i ever commissioned was a Bashkin Placencia. Michael Bashkin makes great guitars with a unique aesthetic look that is his and his only - a very difficult thing to achieve these days. I have noticed that his placencia guitar shape has in fact been paid homage to by several luthiers. And the OP's Japanese wood print inspired headstock will look perfect on his headstock design - i still remember the photos of the Great Wave Bashkin that jimmi wingert expertly and artfully inlaid and there are few guitars that look as nice as a bashkin eith japanese style designs.
