This may be of interest to some of you, Stewmac visited Michael Bashkin’s workshop in Fort Collins, CO to have him show them his complete building process. It is a long video that covers the entire process soup yo nuts.

Enjoy…

Default MICHAEL BASHKIN: 00-12c (Swiss Alpine “Moon” Spruce / Koa)

Thanks for posting this excellent and informative video Bob. So well done and helpful in understanding the process by which our favorite instruments are built.

I was especially interested by your post as I recently acquired a 2021 JM in flamed European Maple and Swiss Spruce. I’ve been absolutely blown away by this guitar and now I can fully appreciate all the care, quality, detail, and skill that Michael puts into his world class guitars.

Mine has a punchy dry tone in the bass and modern warm contemporary rich tone in the trebles. Besides this sonic goodness I love the simple elegant aesthetic.

Here are a few photos.

Great video, thanks for posting.
I've had the privilege of having Michael build an Italian/Madagascar Placencia for me about fifteen years ago. Fantastic guitar and builder

A tip to remember the difference: Florentine is like the pointy 'tines' of a fork.
