cynic Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 My email from Mike included the following sentence: "We will discuss any additional details of your build as we move forward"
cmatthes Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 Just for shits and giggles, can someone PM me a rough price on these? Unfortunately, not really.The actual pricing is still being worked out, and a lot of that will probably have to do with how the initial run goes. The cost (after the first ones) will be more than the initial offering price was, for sure (it will have to be!), but also still affordable.
murkat Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Sometimes it is better to sit back and watch the artist create... ^ This. Mike has got a lot on his plate, and needs #'s, head count, to crunch #'s to make it work, feasible, profitable. Going to be a while... But, it may be worth it
RobB Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Sent my payment off, too. As Borat Sagdiyev exclaimed during his T.V news interview: "I AM VERY EXCITE!! HELLO, U. S. and A!!!!!"

Terrible guitar finish - lol.
BTMN Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 That was a bad one too huh? YIKES! The 80s were Good and The 80s were Bad all at once sometimes.

Woof. That's really unappealing and I'm renown for my bad taste in guitar finishes.
diablo175 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Yeah, it's just the most I have ever spent on a guitar, especially when not knowing anything about it except the builder is talented I'm not worried, but it'd be a bummer if I didn't enjoy playing it, despite it being beautifully made. Yup.
cmatthes Posted June 29, 2014 Author Posted June 29, 2014 To those who ponied up for the initial run, this shouldn't be a concern. Read the email you got from Mike...
gorch Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Just wondering, did Rick Nielsen react as quick as we did?
sixesandsevens Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 With regards to the finish choices at Shishkov, what should I order to get one that looks like this: "Late 50's" sunburst? It seems darker at the edge to me than a typical '59 burst and not as dark as a jazzburst...
BadgerDave Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I'd send Mike the photo and ask him to match it. 1 photo equals 1,000 arbitrary burst names.That's a beautiful choice BTW.
Feynman Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I don't want to bug Mike, so I'll ask here...will there be any possibilities of things like Monacos or Newports, or are those more in the realm of expensive CNC and such?Please don't answer this question in any way that makes me consider ordering something.

And thanks for the solid advice. I figured I'd send him that pic, but didn't know if there was also a secret-handshake name for like-a-59-burst-but-in-no-way-shape-or-form-to-end-up-as-a-clown-burst.

Sugartune Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 What's a "Clown Burst"? All this chatter about it kind of makes me want it.
Sugartune Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Well, I interwebbed and nope. I've seen those before and that's a pretty crap finish right there. Hiding something?http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/norlin-years/175580-post-your-best-clown-burst-pics.html
