JOSH GARRELS

"My No.5 is the guitar I pick up when I when I'm longing to feel the pure enjoyment of creating music. The personality of the instrument is such that it breathes new life into songs that I've played a hundred times, and excites my imagination towards uncharted possibilities. As a songwriter, it's a joy and an asset to have an instrument that helps draw new songs to the surface. It's a guitar, yes, yet there's something different imbedded within a Batson's DNA that makes it a different breed altogether. If the survival of a species depends upon diversification as opposed to monoculture, the presence of the Batson guitar has brought a new strength to the world of acoustic music."

-Josh Garrels (Portland, OR-Based Musician who simply blows our mind, soul and spirit with each song he creates)

TIM THOMPSON

"In a sea of acoustic guitar builders, and having played hundreds of acoustic guitars, I think these guys are really on to something different. The Batson Guitars I tried have a very well balanced sound, you can hear every note clearly and for a fingerstyle player that's important. BUT, you can also rock on them with a flat pick. I own one. Need I say more? They make great guitars both in sound and quality."

"Batson guitars represent the pinnacle of guitar innovation for me. As the proud owner of a Batson Parlor guitar I feel blessed that I'm able to play functional art everyday. The fit and finish is exquisite and the sound is truly original - it's a Batson. Mine is with me when I'm teaching, writing, recording and performing."
