foodermon Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Superb. Both of them. Amazing work. 2 awesome guitars. That maverick will be in my head tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgerDave Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Straight string pull and beautifully designed headstocks. Not only has Mike has successfully avoided the Heritage / Hamer headstock curse, he may have come up with the best design ever. I love it! Oh, the rest of the guitar is OK too. I prefer the Cobra, but both are classy as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeker Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Yowza! Am partial to the Cobra myself. Not that I'm a meedly meedly kinda guy, but the upper fret access looks to be outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 There is a volume knob placed right where it needs to be to do swells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialk Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Probably the first time this sentence has ever been typed/uttered:I would take the Maverick over the Cobra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubs_42 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Congratulations to Shishkov Guitars! Ok, I was duped, and the Maverick didn't turn out to be what I thought it was going to be, and the one that I didn't see striking me made me tingle. The Cobra looks like one heck of a Machine.

soli'd Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Any details on these guitars' construction? Are they both 24.75"? Chambered or solid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynic Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I love them both, but am equally excited to see at least three more variations/models still under wraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northfield Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Sweet.Are those long white switch tips?And uh, I'm guessing you checked out trademark stuff and all that, but Tom Anderson has a model called Cobra as well.The tips are actually cream, it's just the lighting in some of the photosThe name has been used by several builders. These are really just working names for the protos, The jury is actually still out on what they will be called in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northfield Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Thanks for the great feedback, and a huge thanks to DaveL for taking the time to stop by and help with photographing them! The pickups Josh designed for these are a bit hotter than the ones used in the Ultimates, and are absolutely fantastic! Let me know if you have any questions about them.

kizanski Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 There was no Cobra in "Top Gun," so I think you should ditch it for "Goose" or "Slyder" or "Iceman."No...Iceman is too Ibanez, so I'll let you use "Kizanski." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shark Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Frankly, I don't care what they're called. I've been refining the ideas I have for one of each. And I'm making sure not to ignore the fact that other "reveals" will be forthcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubbaVO Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Very very impressive in all facets of design and construction. Good work outta ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucSulla Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I now feel 100% vindicated in not buying and Ultimate and holding out for what was coming next. ETA: Not that the Ultimates aren't gorgeous, but good lord... what a sexy vamp on the double cut theme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfeel Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Mike - both of these guitars look really fantastic. These are unique and original works of art that have just a hint of Hamer DNA.Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
