  1. Holy shit - is ^ ^ this guy ^ ^ Mike's secret brother. WOW.
  2. Incredible stuff in your posts - wow. That wood seems like nasty stuff to work with. Side question: So, can you even touch the raw wood surface with your bare hands (not sanding it and no sawdust) without it causing you problems - or is it just a reaction to the oils/sap in it etc?
  3. This is a much deserved and incredible journey with equally cool stories . Only the HFC family could pull this together and make it happen - but for SIX YEARS. Wow. With that said, there has to be a guitar magazine somewhere that would want to cover the awesomeness of this guitar's travels as a story. Just my opinion.
  4. Heck, I told Mike he could sell that wonderful shop sawdust in sealed clear plastic cigar tubes with his logo lasered on the tube as "Shishkov Mojo" or something like that. Heck, I'd buy a tube for the most awesome case candy ever. Now that I think about it , a tube of that would go great as a gift along with a pair of Shishkov logoed Scotch glasses (hint-hint).
  5. How sad. My condolences and prayers to her family. RIP.
  6. ^ ^ Hmmm . . . ^ ^ I just thought it was a directional arrow that Mike slipped in there in case Chris got so drunk he couldn't find the strings!
  7. See, that's a thinkin' man ^ ^ right there. ^ ^ Make sure you are the only delivery guy for the other first few Shishkov Ultimates. That way - right after the owner - you can get the first chance to finger-hump each one and then call "DIBS". BRILLIANT.
  8. 1. The last roll of black and white checkered Tolex MojoTone had in their inventory . Thank you Chris for steering me to them. 2. OK - I am fully aware these guitars are aesthetically even more polarizing than Kahler's are in their own right , but hey, I think they are cool as hell. Also, two of my friends who have played them swear their overall build quality and attention to detail is on par with Hamer's. They also loved the way they played and said they were insanely resonant unplugged. This is a very nice seller who gave me a great deal on it - we'll see on the build quality part. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MUSIC-MAN-ARMADA-ELECTRIC-GUITAR-LES-PAUL-TONE-PRICE-REDUCTION-THIS-IS-A-DEAL-/261665984806?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=Q3xe%252BO3gaCng5JeptvvOo2VX9q8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Side note: the seller plays in a local band with Dudley Gimpel, who is having him signed the inside of the access cover - which is a cool freebie (There are a few YouTube videos of them playing together to prove it!). I also got the impression Dudley may have assisted him "selecting" this one. Tracking shows it will arrive here Friday. I'm a bit worried - this entire region has been cold as all get out for the past few days. I'll have a NGD thread sometime this weekend after it sits and acclimates. I'll also be selling my V.O. Phantom Custom an amp to make room for this one. That will get posted FS this weekend as well. I did a Griswald amount of friggin' driving (~1700 miles), but overall it was a great Christmas for the family. We are (I am) very blessed.
  9. Steve nailed it. I could buy two of those rasps and then I would just suck twice as bad with them.
  10. Mike or anyone, What is that spaced wood rasp in the fourth photo called and why is it configured that way? This heel shaping process is unbelievably cool. It exemplifies the extreme talent level and attention to detail required to make it into these circles. All smiles here - just incredible work.
  11. 1. Get your checkbook out and be prepared to scratch one out for a chunk more than the obligatory HFC 3fidE . 2. The line has already formed on the right . . . . 3. Sit back, wait and watch the magic happen.
  12. ^ ^ With the deep history of his known talent, this is very easy to believe ! ^ ^ I'm just as excited watching everyone else's Ultimate come to life as I am to find out what my number in the build! This thread is incredible.
  13. Kiz, All joking aside, you are correct - its ALL magical in that shop and we all know it. We dissect every little detail of these photos to fully soak it in and then involuntarily smile - including the swag he's teasing us with there. I'm just thrilled shitless any/all of this ever came to fruition and IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. Logoed gear just makes it even more real after years of seeing the cool "H" swag all over the place. Sorry for that swag diversion - now back to your regularly scheduled Ultimate shop magic.
  14. I forgot, I'll be needing mine in a double fat-boy. I'd bet that swag would fit nicely in an Ultimate case (along with the Ultimate too of course). P.S. The photos of the precision work, which is nearly everything, are incredible.
  15. HOLD THE PHONE MABEL, ARE YOU SPORTING A DAMN " SHISHKOV USA " FLEECE IN THOSE LAST TWO PHOTOS ?!?!?!? It was forty for a high here today. What the hey?????
  16. Ditto that - A happy and safe Thanksgiving to you and yours.
  17. Yuk. This thread got nastier than I could imagine. I've never had crotch crickets or fur bugs or any other critters like that in anything of mine!
