@hamerheadgive me a call tomorrow and we’ll get it taken care of. No worries my friend!

Trish will talk to Chris about this. I’m sure they can pull something together. Thanks!

@jco5055I don’t recall seeing your email - can you resend to ShishkovGuitars@gmail.com? I’d be happy to talk to you and spec one out. thanks Mike

Thanks for all the Birthday Wishes! Had a great weekend!

These are production guitars from New Hartford that got stopped in mid process, and have been hanging around in limbo for a quite a few years. They have the original tape and notes on the neck about things to fix after first level. @Jackass didn't let anything get by him. God, I miss working with that guy.

Congrats @atomicwash!

EVH is blasting loud in the shop tonight. My brother never knew how often I would sneak in and play a bootlegged Van Halen tape that he had gotten ahold of, once I figured out how to work his stereo ( I was about 7). EVH was the inspiration for one of the first guitars I ever built.

Well, the time has come!

Thanks @bubs_42 - We ordered them from Schaller with the ebony buttons. They really tie nicely with the rest of the hardware and pickups.

97 and 98 are out in the wild already.....

That’s Fantastic!

Thanks for the kind words @bubs_42 #90 has some serious raw power to it. Was fun plugging it in before it headed your way. Because you can never have to many pictures, here are a few Trish and I took - we don’t generally take the finished pics in the shop, but it seemed appropriate for this one. 🎸

While there’s a lot going on with #89, It all came together great and looks really cool! Josh did a fantastic job with the pickups - I thought It sounded great. It was fun working on it with you @hamerhead! Rock on! M we tried to get pics that showed the flame in the top, but it was hard to capture

Recently got a line on some old Honduras Mahogany, so I took a ride and found some massive blanks that had been buried at the back of an old barn. Love it when I find these old treasures.

It’s never a bother. I quote each build independently because there’s so much customization for each one. Drop me an email at ShishkovGuitars@gmail.com and I’d be happy to talk to you about what you’re looking for. Rock on! Mike

Quite a few belly cuts in this batch...

Not a helluva lot of room on the upper horn to play with, but after a few minor adjustments, success .....

Put the last one back in the rack last night, and figured it was a good time for a couple of group shots

I’ve spent some time blending a few heels this week. This is shaping up to be another very cool batch! ?

It has a gold nut to match the rest of the hardware, but no binding.

Some Sunday sculpting...

I don’t buy guitars often, but when this one popped up, I knew I had to have it. I’ve always wanted one with Jim’s beautiful artwork. Other than some minor finish scratches, it’s in absolutely fantastic condition. I don’t think it’s been out of its case very often over the past 32 years. The icing on the cake was an OHSC! After a minor tuneup and new strings, this baby plays and sounds fantastic! Lol, I just realized I’ve never done a NGD post - Guess there’s a first time for everything! ?

There’s a lot going on in this group...

Sounds great @nhojbo - I really like it! ?

Here’s something blue, kinda ?
