It's really art of patience and Mike does his utmost to get them timely. this ^^ # 60 was months after 58 and 52 and 53 were after 58 as well Patience grasshopper, it will be worth it ArnieZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end I think anything would have been great because the underlying guitar was so great (that, and the finish was incredible). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana_V Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 The wait is finally over. First of all: yes, it's an Ultimate. "But he's not making any more Ultimates!" No, he's not. BUT -- this one has been in the making for over two years. I was lucky enough to get in the narrow window between the initial run and "absolutely no more Ultimates." It's absolutely perfect in every way. The finish is unbelievable, and as many have said before it looks different depending on the light and viewing angle. Pictures don't do it justice. And Mike and his family were wonderful, welcoming my daughter and me into their home. Here's hoping Photobucket still works. (ETA: So much for Photobucket. Trying it again from flickr.)

Hamerica Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Dana V, Congrats on a beautiful Shishkov! If Mike was a baseball player he would be the designated hitter, "battingathousand" I tell ya! Just gorgeous! Safe travels back home and looking forward to the additional tone report. Hamerica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeboy Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Yeah.....what a beautiful example yet again......I was playing 0006 yesterday and every now and then I find myself admiring the finish and build. I do this with my Hamers too, but not like the Shish. 0063 is absolutely gorgeous in every way. Enjoy it, rock it, and play her often. And yes, a tone report would be nice..,,though I believe we already know...always the same, yet always different. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnieZ Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Everyone is a winner, as is this. I can't imagine a dissatisfied owner. These guitars are just too good!! ArnieZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana_V Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Thanks everybody. I've got gigs on 7/22 and 7/29, so it's going to see plenty of playing time right away. Here's a picture with my daughter, Mike, 0063 and me: Another cool thing: I got to play the SC and DC prototypes, as well as Ultimate #0000. I was REALLY impressed with how comfortable the contoured neck joint on the SC was. And yeah, I picked out the top for my next one (a DC -- no mystery this time).
