Hey Mike, it's really looking great!!
I doubt that any one of those necks is mine as my build only starts in August  (Thx again for helping me with the AGF "glitch" over Christmas - much appreciated)

Mike,
Congrats! I had the chance to play another Bashkin over Christmas and was reminded of how wonderful they are. He's an extremely talented artisan. I've been enjoying your build thread. Hope you enjoy it when it arrives. Kindly, Danny

wonderfull looking guitar.
can anyone tell me the sound effect from that type of top bracing? It seems to make a top less likely to raise behind the bridge, so im curious if thats the only reason to use this bracing pattern.

I just talked to Michael and he explained his thoughts behind the bracing pattern that he used. Out of respect for him I won’t discuss them on the forum but you can email him with your question. Michael’s Contact Page

just an update on woods...
Michael used Bolivian RW for the face and back of the headstock which is bound in Ebony to match the ABW binding. The fretboard is Macassar Ebony. It should be in the booth sometime next week! I can’t wait to see how it will look with the finish...
