cmatthes Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 We are pleased to announce that Mike Shishkov, one of the insanely talented builders from Hamer, is officially launching Shishkov Guitars, USA. Mike started a quarter of a century ago in the Arlington Heights shop, and made his way East to New Hartford in the late '90s with the company. With Hamer now a thing of the past, Mike will be hanging out his own shingle and taking on orders for what will simply be the finest custom electric guitars out there. Some of you may have noticed the first ever banner ad here at the HFC. We totally believe in this guy - he is the real deal, and he has been a long time friend and inspiration to us all. Please take some time to check out his site, ask questions, and revel in the knowledge that he'll be building them just as good, if not better, than before! This has been a long time coming, and things are still ramping up, but this could very well be the best news of the year!www.shishkovguitars.com
cynic Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Email already sent, just need to know where my money should be sent!
serial Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Committed to one myself. This is very exciting news and well-deserved-congrats Mike!Committing for Jakeboy as well- he's in!
HSB0531 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Thank GOD!The best reason to sell most of My Fender basses.
cmatthes Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 Keep in mind, you need to contact Mike through the Shishkov site to participate in the Special Offer. Pms or emails via the HFC, Facebook, etc. won't get you in line for "The Ultimate" run.
burningyen Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Yes! Time for me to start dreaming.BTW, what is the special offer?
veatch Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I'm in - this could get dangerous - i'm going to need to sell a few things. I haven't had GAS in quite some time now...
HSB0531 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 It's an insane offer.Click on the banner and find out.DO IT!!
hikarateboy Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Im watching and while optimistic for Mike, I didn't expect the ultimate special offer orders would be going this fast! Still a few left but dont think too hard. This is great.
hrtatak Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I sent him a message on his site wondering if he would do one the 12 Ultimates as a lefty....if so; I am in.
hrtatak Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Well, I filled out a mostly blank on the options quote. I did that to hold me a spot in case he will do a lefty. We can hammer out the details if he says YES, but I pretty much want it to be his vision of what he thinks these 12 Ultimates should be......just as a lefty.
Frisian Hamer Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Sjeees, didn't I tell I just got broke on that Cali? :-) Cool, good luck! I might be a future customer!
RobB Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Hot Damn! This is a most welcome announcement. Just filled out an order for a first run Ultimate!
marcnorth Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 This is great news and a very fine offer. Congrats Mike!
ghamerinfrance Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Warm wishes for the future of Shishkov....I hope quality may become a standard.
DBraz Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Excellent. Looking forward to seeing some of these builds in progress!
gorch Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 The Ultimate! Is it a Standard style bidy shape? Just like the pics on the page?
RichRS6 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Excellent news.I've filled in the form for an all Mahogany Standard.Good luck to Shiskov guitars and thanks for getting this up and running, much appreciated.By my count of the in's on here I'm number 10 or 11 ? (I hope).
FGJ Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Wow, I wish him nothing but the greatest success. While I don't have the chips for a new guitar, I know whom I'll be calling if I can find the means for a custom order.
