TRADE FOR A TASTY ELECTRIC

This is an exceptional fingerstyle guitar by my favourite luthier Al Beardsell.

It is a great all-rounder handling drop D, DADGAD and other tunings with ease. It also maintains its tone when wearing a capo.

It has a very full and open/rich tone with fantastic depth and complexity. The definition and separation are truly remarkable. This is a very intimate and expressive guitar that also responds beautifully to a pick and a bit of digging in.

Don't be fooled by the sound hole design, this is a true fingerstyle guitar not a Jango-style jazz guitar.

Another absolutely stunning instrument.  Your collection must be incredible and I can't even begin to imagine what your keepers are like! GLWTS

Castro

Cheers @Benm39.

Believe it or not I am now incredibly happy with my remaining acoustics so this is the last one to go.

Benm39

Even though they're almost always outside of my budget and definitely beyond my playing ability,  your threads are always a source of *happy*, especially in these difficult times.  I'll be gutted and relieved (financially anyway!) in equal measure should your for sale posts dry up cheers anyway for brightening up lockdown with your lovely instruments.

Have a Wow you have one of the nicest collections around. I missed you selling the Baskin oo a while back as I played that when it was in Tamco I erred you scooped it up and I never saw it for sales as I was away.

will probably regret not jumping for this but saving to get on Mr Bashkins list later this year.

a lovely guitar

Castro

Thanks @Jez6345789 ;

Mr Bashkin makes very fine guitars indeed. They are great sounding, aesthetically stunning yet understated.

I am regularly in touch with the chap who bought the OO from me. He was thinking of selling, don't know if he still has it.
Let me know if you want his details.

Really interesting guitar!  I had a look around for video clips to try and get some idea what mango sounded like but couldn't find any clips for this particular model.  I don't suppose you're aware of any out there?

I also like the idea of a sound port.  I assume the player gets almost a monitor effect of what's coming out of the soundhole?  My only problem with larger bodied acoustics is that you tend to have to hang over the body to get an idea of how the guitar is sounding whereas I'm guessing a port solves that problem to an extent?

Nice to see something completely different and GLWTS!!

Castro

@surfguy13 I will try to record something soon.

surfguy13

That would be fantastic, thank you!
