We’ve landed a powerhouse with this 2015 Placencia OM from Michael Bashkin in Cocobolo and German Spruce—from headstock to tailblock there’s miles of gorgeous real estate, and some rich tones hidden just beneath the surface. Bashkin paired his compass point rosette with amber side dots/position markers, and bound the body in elegant black Ebony for a subtle delineation between the creamy German Spruce and chocolate-rich Cocobolo.

Tonally, this Placencia has a crisp, focused bass response; tight and snappy, cuts well. Projection is impressive (and that’s not the soundport fooling our ears), and you can dig in a bit with a pick without topping out the sound. Try that on other OMs, we dare you. That said, this guitar is voiced primarily for fingerstyle, and we found it really slurped up dropped tunings. Built in 2015, this Bashkin looks nearly new: a great opportunity to get one for yourself to personalize with your own voice!

This Michael Baskin OM has the wonderful combination of Cocobolo and German Spruce to gives it great depth and character. There is richness throughout the spectrum, great balance and beauty on every fret. A truly musical guitar that will bring out the best from any player.
The bass register has an exceedingly sweet blooming quality that I absolutely love. The voice is rich, lush, wet. Michael builds such an exquisite fingerstyle guitar!
