cynic Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 If I didn't think naming guitars was silly, I'd go with Jekyll and Hyde. Beautiful guitars, but more than anything good on you for flying the Shishkov flag loud and proud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veatch Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 I haven't named many of the guitars that have come through here, but i really like Jekyll and Hyde... 0054 - i agree with you on the variations of the theme. Mike was a pure pleasure to work with - he was very open to using new parts and doing things to make this special. These guitars are both pure Mike and at the same time, very much me. He really has the magic touch. 0052 i can't say any more than simply sweet. The tone must go to 11 on this one. (sorry, couldn't resist...) 0053 is a frickin' monster. Different than 0052, and frankly, both are right where i expected them. The idea was that between these two guitars, i wanted to be able to cover about 80% of what i do. I think Mike succeeded in that. I honestly thought at my age, these were going to be my last two guitars. Now i'm not so sure. I'm already looking at what else i can sell off to fund the next project... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northfield Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Thanks for the kind words Jef. I really appreciate all of the great feedback that you guys give, it brings a lot of meaning to what I do, and I like the process of working one on one with each of you. These 2 guitars have been in the works for a long time, much like David's Super C. Very early on, Jef approached me with some ideas and then gave me the flexibility to come up with something for him. I liked the general concepts so much that I designed the DC Custom with Jef's CO's in mind, knowing that I'd be able to incorporate his specific ideas into his builds. I'm looking forward to a few video clips of these in action in the near future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veatch Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 The battery is the key component of the cork sniffication. The biasing of the JFET is tuned to the exact pH of the alkaline which is directly influenced by the oxidization of the expansion seals and the ionization of the connecting separator. Of this, Rite Aid is far superior, mostly because of the green HOME logo, which makes it automatically environmentally friendly. I have no idea what any of that means, but there are some big words in all that, so it must be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCChris Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Another masterstroke. Reminds me of a Mirage neck angle. Better for tremolo-ing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veatch Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 And to add... The nut on the wraptail is bone. The nut on the trem is Graphtech. The tuning is pretty much dead on, even when i get all 80's with the bar. Have i mentioned that both of these guitars are a pure riot to play?
