#78

[nhojbo]

Hi Gang!  Been lurking around the site for a couple years, and finally have something to post.  Mike's shared a few "naked" pictures of this build on FB over the past couple months, but here's a sneak peak at #78 with some color!  Won't be long now...

Wow, that's really nice! Love the faux binding.

 

[bubs_42]

Very Classy, you have great taste. 

 

[kizanski]

Gorgeous.

 

[Funky Chicken]

Scraped binding on the headstock is killer! The burst is killer too!

 

[mrjamiam]

Welcome!  Great-looking guitar on the way!

 

[Hamerica]

Welcome to the board.  #0078 is beautiful, classic and I agree the binding is perfect on that guitar.

Look forward to your seeing the progression on your Shishkov!

Well, SOMEBODY knows how to make a first post!

Looks fantastic - great choices!

 

[Funky Chicken]

What color is the back?

 

[BubbaVO]

That is really sharp.  I can't wait to see how it all comes together.

 

[nhojbo]

The back is brown to match the outer edge of the burst.

Awesome, classic guitar, congratulations!  What type of bridge/tailpiece will be used?

Very nice, said the guy about to pick a color.

Keeping the rest of the details under wraps until the final reveal.  Stay tuned...

Nah...he's going with a NOS Rockinger.

Damn!  I told Mike not to make that public yet!

I had to google it, looks more hideous then the Sustainblock Trem.

Aw, come on, Bubs.  Guitar aficionados across the land will be extolling the graceful aesthetics of the Shishkov muse tip and the elegance of the Rockinger vibrato system. I mean, what vibrato system would better complement the beauty of Mike's creations than this hunk of metal?
