0071

I knew the specs of this build and all but damn.. that is one HOT piece of Shishkov action.

Soli'd, those pickups are some of my handiwork. Fractal and I had a great phone conversation that covered a lot of topics including pickups he loved and was used to, effects, amps, music played ...and Mike gave me the aesthetic direction, envisioning a late 40's/early 50's vintage microphone vibe for the look of things. I immediately thought "RCA! the Shure 'Elvis' mic!" and pretty much went to town with it: gold plated steel mesh with a backing of 1/32" tight-weave black felt, and some most excellent nickel-silver, nickel plated radiator style covers.

These were a blast to make and again, what an amazing guitar! One of those and a jazz burst Shishkov double-cut too for me please.

Incredible! Forget about more pics. It needs a recording!

Coincidence? Just the other day I had the thought of a microphone in a pickup cover over a (half) acoustic spruce topped guitar kind of thing. Now this one looks exactly like that. You think guitars are done? Damn no!

 
Another homerun of a guitar build. Man, that is a Red Queen for sure! Enjoy it well and smoothly. I would have said loudly but even I might be hard pressed to wanna hear Ted licks through that one. :) B)

I had to go out of town right after getting it, and just got back.  Image how sucky that was!

I have to keep this short, because I'm going to play it now.  I can try to get some clips of it at some point...
