The first Michaud to walk through our door feels like an old friend sliding back into town. This 2013 00-R “Interrupted” feels intimate and familiar in your hands, and responds easily to both strummed and fingerstyle approaches. Striking red Cocobolo back and sides, Lutz Spruce on top, and a 25 inch scale for warmth and easy playability. Trim punching weight of 4lbs 2oz, Wenge trim and Schertler tuners, and all of this wrapped up in an Ameritage case for safe keeping.
The voice has a focused quality that projects notes directly outward from the soundhole, rendering arrangements with added clarity and definition. The bass response has a touch of added warmth that mellows the overall balance of the instrument. When combined with this Michaud’s added focus and clarity, the effect is a warm tone that’s bounded by crisp definition—a combination that easily stands out.
