Shishkov question(s)

I'm just having a go at you guys anyway.

If I want Chickenhead knobs I will put them on post purchase anyway. None of y'all wanna copy my bad style anyways. /emoticons/default_tongue.png/emoticons/default_biggrin.png/emoticons/default_cool.png

 
Like the Intonation is for ...... crowd, I say who needs a number when you have a direction.

I've purchased a couple of sets of Cream Tone knobs. One set will get mailed to Mike for my Ultimate.

If the tops are like the original four digits and Standards until 1998 or so, they're essentially all mahogany anyway.

Veneer over chambering? The veneer on my old Special appeared too delicate to cover chambers. I'd envisioned the chambering would require a thicker top.

I believe the tops over chambered bodies are, most likely, thicker than 4-Digit tops. I have one...



It has original GregWinds now.

Tops on chambered Hamers were (because they weren't chambered until after Hamer stopped using veneer) were a thicker milled-down top, but there's no reason that veneers won't work on a chambered body if done correctly.

 
I was hoping Mike wouldn't mind mine being un-chambered with a thin veneer just like the old 4 digits (or no veneer at all as it's hopefully going to be a solid colour anyway.

I don't have anything chambered to play to decide if it's a good thing or not ((I don't really mind about the extra weight) and I like the sound of my non chambered Standards a lot.

I await his word on this (no pressure) and am looking forward to seeing the first ones then I can think harder.

Might just go with the flow and save the non Ultimate spec for a custom order later.

 
I'm not saying that Mike will be using veneered tops, but it could be (and surely has been) done over chambered bodies. I had the same concerns initially before talking to Mike. That being said, I'm sure he'll get the good stuff!

Ordered some more Chickenhead knobs just a little while ago in Gold like these.

Everything is going to be just fine with a chambered body and the maple top/cap thickness Mike is going to use.

It won't be too far off of a very familiar spec (in fact, possibly even more robust), and will be plenty adequate to manage any body chambering.

Got that straight from the man himself, so all is right in the world again!

If you ever get over to Orlando, go to Skycraft. It's a surplus store and they have chicken-heads in black, white and creme by the thousands! Good prices too.

Ha! I remember Skycraft... I used to raid that place for weird parts, switches, pilot lamps, (and of course knobs) etc... back when I was at Full Sail for recording arts.

Did you know Bruce Marshall? He worked at Full Sail back when they first opened.

 
There is an amp guy here in St. Pete that has them about 10 different ways and Allparts has the Gold one $2.50 a pair.

Is Skycraft near Disney World?

 
No.

I had a 1990 and a '95 that were featherweights. They didn't chamber until a decade later.
