![]() Only thing I am afraid of is that I tend use quite a bit of nails, and it seems that LS prefers flesh, so hopefully that would be a non-issue.

OK some background information first!
Joel has struggled for a long time to find a Bevel that suited his style as he felt that many of the current designs distracting to his eye. The Ryan is very elegant and graceful but caused the body to look asymmetrical. The Laskin (whom Joel is proud is Canadian as well ![]() -OF COURSE, NO DISRESPECT TO KEVIN RYAN AND GRIT LASKIN AS WHO DOESN'T HOLD THEM BOTH IN HIGH REGARD! (Just a matter of preference)- Hence, through this struggle, Joel stopped offering the bevel a few years back as he couldn't find a design to suit his design sense. This is where I come in! I told Joel that I had very much wanted a Bevel for my build and had actually the same issues he had with the current designs. So I told him to keep this at the back of his mind, if he does come up with a design that we both love, then we shall go ahead with it. So, Joel being the workaholic and perfectionist he is, went back to his drawing board. Simon Fay's recent arm bevel was actually quite nice and suited both of our design sense. He liked the square terminations, so...combining all aspects of the Ryan, Laskin and Fay bevels we liked.... Hence, the MICHAUD Bevel* was born! (apologies if this design has already been adopted by another luthier out there, we are not aware of any and hope to not offend anyone! ![]() *A square termination on the lower bout with a scoop inset inside along with the graceful termination at the waist. It allows the eye to see the bevel and not be confused with the asymmetry while still flowing well into the body

Notice the Ryan style flow into the waist
![]() Square termination at the tail ![]() Notice the bent scoop at the termination point reminiscent of Fay's. Also the End graft interrupts the binding which helps tie in the bevel better ![]() Full frontal (SFW) ![]() And let's not forget the Scoop! ![]() The guitar is now off to finish. He will send me a second batch of pre-finish shoots later in the week ![]()

Love the woods used on this guitar Marcus, and a v interesting take on the bevel. It looks like a hybrid of the Ryan and Laskin bevel at each end. Maybe you should call it the Ryskin bevel

![]() ![]() Well, I think it is more of a Ryan/Fay bevel but yes, Ryskin does have a nicer ring to it ![]()
