bubs_42 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I hope that each guitar is a reflection of its owner. So far each one has been so unique that you know in a split second which one it is and who it belongs to. If your stressing about it stop worrying and enjoy the ride and don't doll it up to impress us go with your gut because tomorrow is a different flavor of the month.

If your stressing about it stop worrying and enjoy the ride and don't doll it up to impress us go with your gut because tomorrow is a different flavor of the month.In keeping with that sentiment, it's really great seeing all the variations and associating each guitar with it's owner. I'm having a terrible experience with another builder and I can't help but think it would be better, if he was regularly churning out what I know he is capable of. I don't know who said it, but I'm looking forward to Mike requesting more money from me. I know he's not collecting because he's putting off my guitar and needs the dough. It's an above board professional process. That means as much to me as anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfeel Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 After having held and plucked a few notes on DavidB's Shishkov, I think it is fair to say the folks who got/are getting an Ultimate are getting an unbeatable deal. These guitars are superb and are built with the quality you come to love and expect from the Hamer shop. The neck on David's was HUGE with a somewhat D profile and felt great in my hand. That neck was so much bigger than my Dantzig that it made it feel small in comparison.Congrats to each of you and your new Shishkovs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 I had a 78 Sunburst that was this profile but slightly smaller so If felt familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubbaVO Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I've loved watching each Shishkov get unveiled. Since I'm all the way down toward the bottom of the list, I'm forced to be patient. With each one, the anticipation gets greater. Guitar edging whodathunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicwash Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Super congrats to the early Shishkov owner's!!! These guitars are something really special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velorush Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I am grateful to Mike for opening this up: recall, the initial offering was for TWELVE guitars. To think I emailed at 8:30 the morning of the offering post and am 0023 is amazing to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I play #0011 I always seem to crack a stupid grin and think that I got over somehow. Not over on anyone else, just that it is such a beautifully crafted electric guitar and the price was beyond reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirrorimij Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 My hope for the remaining run would be to see one example with a Gibson L5 style fingerboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polara Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I've never been much of an Explorer shape fan myself, but I still didn't hesitate. It was posted above that each reflected the owner's personality, so I'll be curious what No. 21 says about me. So far the color looks like it was nailed, so I'll be curious if my mangled way of explaining neck shape will translate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgerDave Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Velvis is the finest guitar I've ever owned. Mike is absolutely nailing it with these guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
