bubs_42 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Once again just so glad to be apart of something this magical.
HSB0531 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Once again just so glad to be apart of something this magical. Shishkov USA Rising from the Hamer ashes like the mythical phoenix.
David B Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Ok guys, don't get all excited.They're only the fretboards for Rick Nielsen's new 15 neck guitar.I see you counted them too.

BTMN Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 To think I will have my livingroom noodler fingers all over one of these someday.
soli'd Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Yep. I did request particularly dark RW if it was available... And crowns... And my initials are MS...But I'm sure I'm in the second batch. So, yeah, this is likely ebony, and not mine. Looks like a killer board for whoever it is.
serial Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Mike's initials are also 'M. S."... Mine are "SM". I did spec ebony though.
Jakeboy Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 To get these snippets as the builds are progressing is awesome!
bubs_42 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 You all suck. Be happy for us, you have all you need. Oh, thats right you don't have a Shishkov! Sorry
hamerhead Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 You don't have one yet either, doofus.I'm OK. The Shishkov-built Hamers will to tide me over until my CO.
bubs_42 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Well thats OK you have a C/O Hamer and I do not .
hamerhead Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Not tryin' to brag or anything, but I have 2. HA!And after several attempts, I'm just not a Ultimate/Standard/Explorer guy. I love the look and the sound, but haven't bonded with one. Yet.
sixesandsevens Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I have no idea how much extra work it is for you to shoot and catalog this way Mike, but I think it would be awesome if you had a photo record of each guitar as it progresses. So you could visit the site and see a thread of posts tagged for a specific S/N and follow it through the build process. It would be the kind of thing you could let people order from one of those online photo album companies too so they could have a mini coffee table book of their own guitar's build diary. You could include the correspondence and maybe some final thoughts about each guitar as it's strung up to play. IMHO that's way cooler than a COA, is worth an up charge, and provides a lot of material for the inevitable Matthes book about the history of Shishkov.
cmatthes Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I agree that tha would be very cool, but if he's photo-logging every step along the way, that's going to add a lot of time to each build and could potentially add many hours of time to the process. With the large number of guitars on order, although I'd love to see a step by step photo essay on each one myself, I think that could really set him back.Just a guess - Mike may feel differently!
sixesandsevens Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Or we can just chip in to buy him a GoPro and crowdsource cherry picking frames from the daily video logs for the books.
Feynman Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I am hoping for a personalized leather book, with a unique story about each guitar, handwritten in fountain pen.
bubs_42 Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I am hoping for a personalized leather book, with a unique story about each guitar, handwritten in fountain pen.You'll keep that one about as long as it takes you to flip through that leather book.
hamerhead Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I say we all chip in and hire a professional photographer to follow him around for the next 6 months. Besides awesome builder shots, we'd probably get enough dirt to blackmail him for years to come.
