{"product_id":"bashkin-00-12-lucky-strike-redwood-honduran-mahogany","title":"Michael Bashkin 00 12-Fret 'Lucky Strike Redwood \/ Honduran Mahogany' Preowned 2011","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis jaw-dropping Michael Bashkin 00 12-Fret is a handmade acoustic guitar built by one of America's most respected independent luthiers, representing an extraordinary level of material selection, construction detail, and tonal sophistication rarely encountered outside the world of bespoke lutherie. Built in 2011 with a 12-fret neck joining the body at the twelfth fret, this guitar has a warm, rich voice and vintage-inspired playing feel that 12-fret 00 instruments are revered for among serious collectors and fingerstyle players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe specification reads like a masterclass in tonewood selection: a Lucky Strike redwood top paired with Honduran mahogany back, sides, and neck, Adirondack and Sitka spruce bracing, and an ebony bridge and fingerboard. Quartered Honduran rosewood forms a striking ten-segment rosette, while African blackwood binding with maple and holly purfling, Santos rosewood purfling with holly veneers, and gold-engraved Waverly tuners with snakewood knobs complete an instrument of genuine artistic and acoustic distinction. Ideal for serious collectors, fingerstyle virtuosos, and players who want a one-of-a-kind handmade instrument built to the very highest standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eTaken from a storm-damaged Redwood tree fallen in Humboldt County, California, the name Lucky Strike is a reference to the legendary storm that may have uprooted the tree, but also to the fortune of finding a tree with unparalleled, uniform grain and density that provided some of the best soundboards imaginable. Experts have studied the growth rings to determine the age of Lucky Strike, and while the age is difficult to pin down from the portion of the tree salvaged, examination suggests a minimum of 600 years of age, though it may be as old as 800 years old. \u003cspan\u003eRedwood is a dark, beautiful top wood favored by players who appreciate clear upper harmonic content. Redwood delivers bold, punchy, crisp tones, with rich, strong overtones, and sounds like a cross between Adirondack spruce and cedar. The limited sets of Lucky Strike Redwood available are long gone, and are now found on guitars by builders including Kevin Ryan, Santa Cruz and George Lowden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2011-built guitar is in wonderful condition, with very little playwear and remarkably luxurious build quality throughout. We've never heard another guitar quite like it - notes leap out of the guitar at the lightest touch, and the dynamic range and headroom of this small-bodied guitar simply has to be heard to believed. Make no mistake - this is an incredibly special instrument that is both precise and forgiving. Includes original hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eModel: Michael Bashkin 00 12-Fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eYear: 2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSerial number: 112\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTop: LS redwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBack \u0026amp; sides: Honduran mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNeck: Slotted headstock, Honduran mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHeadstock overlay: Honduran rosewood bound in ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBack of headstock: Honduran rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBinding: African blackwood with maple and holly side purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePurfling: Santos rosewood with holly veneers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRosette: Quartered Honduran rosewood (10 segments)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBracing: Adirondack spruce top, Sitka spruce back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlocks: Honduran mahogany\/spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eKerfing: Spanish cedar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTuners: Waverly 3-on-a-plate, engraved gold with snakewood knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBack X-brace cap: Honduran rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBridge plate: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNut \u0026amp; saddle: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBridge\/bracing glue: Hot hide glue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBridge pins: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFret markers: Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTruss rod: 2-way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBridge: Gabon ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFretboard: Gabon ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNut width\/saddle width: 1 25\/32\" \/ 2 5\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eScale length: 25.4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDimensions: Lower bout 14.25\", waist 8.3\", upper bout 10.3\", depth at tail\/neck 4.15\"\/3.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFinish: Polyurethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bashkin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48053476131037,"sku":"CON12319","price":8499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/8045\/files\/0H3A3924.jpg?v=1781838186","url":"https:\/\/www.acousticcentre.com.au\/products\/bashkin-00-12-lucky-strike-redwood-honduran-mahogany","provider":"Acoustic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
