One of these days I'm gonna try a Bashkin...this is the first one I've seen with an arm bevel. Gorgeous woods and Micheal's usual impeccable craftsmanship. What's not to love? Best of luck with the sale, Doug!

Michael Bashkin - spec sheet bump for this beauty.
I measure the nut width at a slightly wider 1-13/16" vs. the listed 1.75" Just an amazing instrument from Mr. Bashkin. Still considering some cash + trade options, let me know if you have an interest! |
