Shishkov Appreciation Thread

Anyone else jonesin' for more discussion on this topic? Maybe we've run out of speculation fodder /emoticons/default_unsure.png

Keep in mind...just because it was a quote request, doesn't mean it's doable. There have been a lot of requests for things like boomerangs, etc. that can't or aren't able to have done.

Did somebody trade-mark boomers already? If 'victory' or 'crown' inlays are Hamer designs, are those off-the-table, too?

I'm not a Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) savant, but have not been able to find boomer inlays trademarked by anyone on their site.

Consider also that he wants to establish his own brand and showcase his own talents. While nothing at all wrong with using some inspired designs, why invite potential problems from FMIC and use something like those inlays, which are exclusively Hamer?

'Cuz boomers are fookin' cool. That's why. /emoticons/default_laugh.png

Here's something to say about some things that have been said...

I don't like boomers and I do like victories. Take that!

 

[soli'd]

Dots or crowns for me, please.

One man's boomers are another man's upside down checkmarks.

 

[Sugartune]

Checkmarks!?!? Now there's an inlay I can get on board with. Get it?? .......board.

Josh sent me a couple photos of the proto's. Enola (bridge) will come with a lightly soldered on cover. I have heard them and the are absolutely awesome.

Anyone that was thinking about installing boutique pickups from another manufacturer won't be disappointed if they stay with the stock set up. I firmly believe that Josh's work is on par with anything out there. They are amazing.

I have also heard the Charlotte as well. It's exactly what it was supposed to be. Gain with clarity. Think Van Halen 2. That in the bridge is the only substitution anyone might want to make if they prefer a pickup with slightly more gain.

Lastly Josh really thinks the HFC is a unique and special place so will be making the Shlabotnik models (Grace, Enola and Charlotte) available for purchase only by HFC supporting members.

While anyone can contact josh and spec out a custom pickup of there own, perhaps extremely similar to the Shlabotniks, it a nice convenience and very cool of him to do.

OH YEAH!!!! Can I have a pair of Enolas in mine?

 

[cmatthes]

I don't think there will be substitutions, but you can always buy one and swap it out!
