Bashkin Placencia OM

[Trevor M]

I just thought I would post some shots of a beautiful Placencia OM I received from Michael yesterday, its in sitka and cocobolo.

Beautiful! Hope I get the chance to try it before it finds a new home.

I played one of these at a guitar gathering a few years ago where the strings were so old even carbon-dating would have been unable to tell their age - I was completely unable to judge the guitar! I've read lots of good things about these so I'm hoping to get my hands on this one as well before it heads off to a new home. I'm sure this time I'll be better placed to evaluate it!

cheers,
Steve

Impeccable craftmanship!

I'm in Michael's fan club another beauty!

I love the treatment of the bottom end.

I've always admired the Bashkin aesthetic but have never heard one being played let alone played one myself.
I can't see anything this lovely hanging around for long. I too hope I get a little hands on time sometime soon.

Cheers
Vic

Don't hang around Vic...

Bashkin makes some of my favorite sounding guitars. And he's a pleasure to talk to at the shows.

I love the look of the segmented headstock and rosette. The shape of the bridge is really beautiful and the whole design just flows so nicely. He makes some of the most beautiful guitars. We are really lucky here on the AGF to get to see guitars like this.

I have spoken with him over Skype, and he is a very humble, down-to-earth man. That, and his guitars sound amazing.

Congrats on a fine choice of builder Trevor. Michael builds exceptional instruments and I am still astounded everytime I play mine.
