Gorgeous! Michael executed the little details so well: the leaf vein headstock, the scorched rosette, and that end graft! Plus this has one additional upgrade the OP didn't mention: Ebony button tuners. They really pop with that headstock overlay.

I bet this instrument sounds fantastic. I picked up a 2014 Baskin Placencia last month--I have no doubt that whoever buys this will find it as enthralling as I find mine.

Smile Oh my goodness...

Wow DD, are you SURE you want to let this go?

Then again, we do crazy things in the grip of GAS! And most of us can not keep them all...

Best on this, and play her while you can!!!

Cheers

Paul

Oh man, that's tempting... I think Bashkin guitars are among the best values out there, beautiful tone and sense of lines. I wish I could. Good luck with the sale, the new owner will be a happy one.

I remember playing this guitar in Santa Barbara;
Everything was just perfect ..playability, esthetic and
the tone.
Never thought that Dave will be selling it.
This instrument will make someone very happy !
