Jazz Metal was made album of the month and received five stars from many domestic and international magazines. As an indication of his popularity (and certainly not of his talent), in 1996, Shaun was voted runner-up as Best New Guitarist by the readers of Total Guitar magazine (coming second only to Noel Gallagher of Oasis). As an artist, Shaun is currently endorsed by Marshall Amplification, Fender Guitars, Patrick Eggle Guitars and Picato Strings. He has done several clinics up and down the UK for Patrick Eggle Guitars and is one of only five artists to be included in their artist series brochure (along with Brian May of Queen, Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, Nick Kershaw and UB40). J.J Hucke Guitars are currently designing a Shaun Baxter signature model intended for production some time next year.
