Hey, this is not a slight on Shishkov guitars, read the post "victim of his own success", he has been and still is successful at producing guitars, but what I hear is based in fact because of previous postings of lead times and guitars that I know that have taken this long. Like everyone here I am hoping that Shishkov continues to be successful but lead times of 2 years, in today's have it now world, may put some people off. No offence meant or implied...obviously. I have a very good friend with a Shishkov and it's a beauty no doubt.
