That is the perfect color.

A very light jazz burst with almost no red.

That is the perfect color. 

LOVE me some jazzburst. It was one of my favorite finishes and I had it on my old Artist Korina HB. 

Honestly, if my Shishkov was going to have a maple top I would 100% get that color. 
 

edit: just showed my wife this thread with the intention of impressing her with the color of the jazzburst. I scrolled back and said, “this is it raw”

she said, “I love it raw”

I immediately started to type out this edit…

Not all jazz burst is created equal.  Should be cool to see how the new comer will fit in with rest.

Isn’t that a spruce top next to a maple top?  My AK looked more like the Newport there but still a bit different. I wonder how much the wood affects the final product with the finish color…

Spot on.  But  I asked Mike to make my Ultimate a darker jazz burst.

I think the couch clashes with the pair.

Family portrait.  Team Shishkov hit it out of the park … over waveland ave … onto the rooftop deck across the street.

The inlays look great. You can’t go wrong with a single cut. And frets over the binding ALWAYS!!!

Stellar choices there. 

What manner of pickups did you choose? In case I missed it before….

 

[alextazy]

Gorgeous, as always...

Gravelins - Charlottes.  Splittable.  And they sound great in either humbucking or single coil mode.  
 

Not that you asked, but went with the rosewood Muse Tip, TRC and fret board.

I asked Mike to make for me an LP killer and asked for his take on Marsden’s Beast.   Mike delivered the goods.  

Like others have said - it’s worth the wait.
