Shishkov Ultimate #0011 - SOLD

[currypowder]

After much internal debate on how to significantly reduce my collection and which guitars to let go, I have decided to sell 2 Explorer/Standard shaped guitars, beginning with this incredible Shishkov Ultimate #0011. My Momose Korina MEX will be going up next.

I'm the 2nd owner and can't find a mark on it. It has a pretty chunky neck (0.95" at the first fret, 0.98" at the 12th) and only weighs 7.6 pounds.

I don't think I need to pour out any accolades here. Everyone here is familiar.

SOLD - $5,500 shipped

So many cool guitars up for sale at the moment 🤤

I have seen this one in person and, oh yes, it’s that spectacular.

Might be a buyer

Good thing I can’t afford it, I would have to play it out from time to time and would not stay mint.

0006 has a bunch of dings. I play that one hard. 0011 has the perfect classic burst..,what a beautiful guitar! GLWTS

Damn that is a low low weight

[scottcald]

Wow!  How is that only 7.6 pounds?  Beautiful, but I only had an explorer-ish shape once and dinged it every time I played it.  And, too much gear around anyway.

I'm fairly certain it's chambered. I don't know if all Ultimates were, but a few, definitely.

Yes. I believe they all were.
Mike told me that they were fashioned after my '04 Hamer Standard, which was the first chambered Standard.

That is gorgeous.. what happened to that one?

How does the sound change chambered versus solid?

Last I heard (back in 2012), @Motorhead owned it.

Honestly I don't remember what it sounded like.  It did have a great acoustic voice, though.

Oh, forgot to mention it was also korina.

That is very cool, love that it was Korina but black, I bet that things sounded and felt amazing

[donner]

That was quick!

Congrats to all parties 😉

Congrats to the lucky new owner!
