I've got it bad. :(

I'm ready to place my third order.  Loved the f-hole guitars Mike made.  I want one a little thicker.  A little bigger.  Solid through the middle third.  Who knows.  He might...

I always wondered about what happened to the Avalon.  And if that ever got reduced to schematics.

I may or may not have spoken with Mike about just such a new model process on the next one... it's going to probably push things back a bit, but I can wait to see something that none of us have seen yet.  B)

Power in #'s! 

That being said, i've escalated to Defcon 2 on Shishkov #3.

“Avalon” was what we called the 2  prototypes in the shop before it was given the official name of “Improv”. It’s the same guitar.  I pulled up some old pics of us working on the first prototype.

My Shishkov is so good that it shut off my desire for more guitars like a spigot....including other Shishkovs.

I don't think THAT was part of the marketing strategy.

Definitely not, one day Mike will roll out another model and his trigger will be tripped. I think I know his weakness but he will have to wait for it.

Please don't take this wrong, but you're the exception, not the rule.  I'm willing to pay a premium for the first larger bodied semi-hollow Shishkov.  I have ideas.

That other "Avalon" Mike may have worked on at Hamer (Robin made my Avalons), isn't really what I had in mind.  I'll require "stretching" of the basic Shishkov design.  A little thicker than the current killer semi-hollows.  A little bigger.  Some assumed I envisioned a modified double cut Shishkov.  I'm talking about the single cut...

Ready to order.

No - that's where I was going with this one too...
