diablo175 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 on the other hand a custom order may be on the cards next. Might be a while on that custom build, Rich. Mike's likely got plenty on his plate with two runs of the Ultimate and his website currently isn't allowing any submissions for custom orders. Trust me, I have my custom order spec-ed out and ready to go. The minute he starts accepting custom orders again, I'll be at the front of the line, waiting.

RichRS6 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I know, I know, I know. I can wait.It may be a long wait but it'll be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 It'll still be less time than waiting for a custom Jackson... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablo175 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Touche. But if the wait time truly was an issue, I wouldn't have ordered one. As sad as it sounds, I can rationalize ordering a custom ax because I play in band that gigs out. Once this band dissolves, I don't see starting another and thus, my rationale for explaining away a custom ax to myself (and my wife ) dissolves. I know the custom Jackson will be here in time for at least a few gigs. A custom Shishkov? Not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTMN Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Wait. Does that mean you are not going to be part of the Shishkov Fan Club Jam Band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablo175 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Wait. Does that mean you are not going to be part of the Shishkov Fan Club Jam Band? There's certainly that possibility, especially considering I am unaware of any such band It's wait and see. Hopefully, my band will stay together long enough to validate ordering a Shishkov. If not, I will be scrambling to devise another reason to order one. Sadly, this might involve selling off a number of the current herd. In this market, that's enough to make any seller cry.

Northfield Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Ultimate necks are in the works! 40 blanks are rough cut and resting comfortably. I want to make sure they have as much time as possible to acclimate. I could use pre-slotted fingerboards, but I prefer to slot them myself to make sure they are perfect. There has been a lot of time spent getting things set up, but the sawdust is flying now. I am very excited about partnering with Josh on the custom pickups - they are going to rock! More to come soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
