Shishkov Appreciation Thread

Velorush-

That's my guess as well- I thought I read that there would be two initial runs of 24, (0000 included may make 49) and all of the numbers so far are in that first group range. Not that seeing the numbers and owners for the first group makes it any less exciting!

 
I feel so lucky that I am a part of this ride. Make my jersey up with a #20. /emoticons/default_biggrin.png

 
Right behind you Bubs, with No. 21

Assuming an initial run of 25 Ultimates (I think that's right) and a total of 49 (a complete guess), our numbers are each, in the quantum sense, concurrently and simultaneously all numbers 26 through 49. /emoticons/default_smile.png

That would be me! I laughed/gasped at the same time when I got Mike’s email today. Life can often take some funny and ironic turns at times, no?

SO stoked..!

Hmmmm. Trans red actually sounds great, but I'm just not into black binding. Still struggling to settle on a color.

Am I correct in assuming I'm in run #2 or is 0023 in the first run? I just assumed I was in the second group. Anyone know?

The email from Mike seemed to confirm my assumption, but now that I go back and read it again, maybe I was reading too much (or too little) into it. If I'm in the first run, I'd better get this color thing finalized!

 
The runs are all running together.... some of the things for run 2 have already been done in order to make things more efficient (fingerboard slotting, rough cutting necks ect, ). The only real difference between the runs is how far out the delivery time is. If there are still questions about your finish, I will contact you to get the final decisions made once your guitar is at that point. Also, not everyone's email update has gone out yet... still working on them. Thanks for all of the great feedback and encouragement! You guys rock!

 
Oh man I hope I'm 0033. I've got a real thing for that number. I even worked it out with my baby girl to show up unexpectedly on March 3rd.

Stop saying "the runs." You're gonna make me have to run to the toilet.

Sorry, Mike. I really didn't mean to use the board to carry on a personal conversation. I just didn't want to tie you up with a superfluous question.

I'm about to pee myself!

You should swap the guitar out on this one. It's the only one you own that is uglier than the knobs. Bleeeccchhh! /emoticons/default_biggrin.png

 
It's Fugly but sounds Fantastic! Those guitars look a lot bigger in photos than in person and feel just like a V.

It's not for everyone and I did not think I wanted one until I saw this one. In fact I hated it and was perplexed by Dean's step in that direction.

It does fit in line with the ML and the Cadillac in the way that they are 1/2 a V and 1/2 an Explorer and 1/2 a Les Paul and 1/2 an Explorer. The Splittail is 1/2 a V and 1/2 an SG to me. Gibbers first stab at this done for Jim Peterik is even uglier.

 
If your talking about jerseys, I wonder who gets the knock-out jersey, #27?

I feel like I walked up to the plate, and pointed out over the left field wall! Heard from Mike that I'm 0033, and it just happened that way in the order list.
