Pair of Celestions
bubs_42 replied to Steve Haynie's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
Damn Steve, ever thing of just turning it down a notch? š -
I set out to achieve a very balanced instrument that was almost āHiFiā and ā3Dimensionalā. I wanted clarity, string definition, string to string separation, a quick, percussive bottom end. The definitive āTele on steroidsā Everything mattered to me, the Underwound Gravelins, the Mahogany with a top that added beauty and elegance but didnāt distract from the fact that I love all Mahogany Guitars, and the bridge to translate the strings to the wood without becoming āthe soundā of the guitar like I believe the Sustainblock does. Mikeās Bridge takes the Sustainblock forward and itās a wonderful bridge that I really really had to think about using because I was worried about how it would sound. In the end, it was the perfect way to go for this guitar, and Mike chambered the guitar which I believe was a great compliment to the overall guitar. I do not regret the bridge or the simple two knob setup. Team Shishkov was great to work with, and even though I had this almost fully formed idea of what I wanted, I felt challenged and grateful for the talks that I had with Mike and Josh. I trust them and let them do the work. Hey when I got the guitar I didnāt know what I was really going to look like or sound like. Mike picked out the inlay work and the added these little details that you can only get when you work one on one with a builder. Josh and I had had this amazing discussion about pickups for almost 2hrs on the phone one day and these came out of that discussion. When people ask me what magnets are in them, or what wire, my reply is āI donāt know and I donāt careā, I asked for the pickups translate that the guitar sounds like and Josh brought the magic home. My one regret, I wrapped up so much sentimental investment into the guitar, and there is and will only be one of them in the world, that I just canāt throw it in the car and go. It is getting played and I love it, almost too much. I have considered ordering another in a more stripped down form as my go anywhere do everything guitar because it is so amazing.

Thanks gentlemen 0105 is a killer guitar. Team Shishkov went above and beyond as they do with every guitar before and after this one. You will not regret the wait. Josh Gravelin is the man!

What's been going on in the shop - next chapter
bubs_42 replied to Northfield's topic in Shishkov Guitars
I just want to note that Mike sent 0105 out with speed knobs on it, and I wasnāt sure about the look. That all went out the window once I used the guitar. I work my volume all the time and they are so easy on the finger. Not very often do I see another build that makes me jealous but DAMN that is HOTTT! -

I think you and 0090 make a great pair, it would hold you over until retirement or your Shishkov arrives.š -
WTB: Shishkov custom guitar
bubs_42 replied to The Shark's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
#0070 was the only one to make the stage. #0090 Specāed to be the workhorse didnāt make it before the bandās demise. #0105 is my forever masterpiece. I wouldnāt sell it for a Million. 1.1 we might talk. Lol -

People do not like it when they start telling me about a guitar on Pawn Stars and I just say ā Fake Bullshitā. I never watch any of that BS. -

SOLD -- 2002 Hamer Monaco SuperPro
bubs_42 replied to MCChris's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
Iāve been Less-Hamer for a long while. Thatās why I bought the Monaco Special M, but now I have three Shishkovās. As far as other brands, itās SGās and Telecaster. Iād like to spit out one SG and one Tele and turn them into a Gretsch Jet Firebird. -

Any offer below the already reasonable price is tragic IMHO. The Superpro is a wonderful and amazing guitar, the āGrand Pianoā of the Hamer Line. -
