M A Bashkin Guitars

I have an inexpensive Seagull guitar which needed a setup since they are known for their high action. Michael did a quick review of the guitar and then told me the status of the current setup. He suggested a "standard Martin setup" which addressed the major playing needs.

My vintage-style Stratocaster truss rod was seized up, and I made the long drive from South Denver metro area just to see Michael because of his stellar reputation. He is a skilled and knowledgeable luthier and solved my problem almost immediately. He didn't even charge me for the quick fix!

I won't let anyone else touch my guitars, end of story. Michael's done so much stuff and gone out of his way for me; fixed, upgraded, and dialed in so many guitars now. His work is top notch and he's just an all around genuine guy. Very lucky to have a luthier like Michael close to my home.

I called Mr. Bashkin to see if he might be able to help me with a 30 year old Frankenstein-Stratocaster rebuild I was working on. He was very honest and forthcoming on the phone and gave me some hard truth about the project I knew I needed, but didn't want to hear.
