I didn't make it easy on Mike. I wanted a subdued burst with certain characteristics and supplied some pics of what I was after. Team Shishkov totally nailed the finish beyond my expectations.
Jakeboy Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 I need to get a pic of 0006 in the preferred format.

cmatthes Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 The Ultimate run is wrapping up...and what a run that is/was! I think the last ones are going to be heading out soon, and Mike has already gotten into the post-Ultimate custom orders. I'm buckling up for this ride - it's going to be a fun one!
HSB0531 Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 It's going to be an interesting look at the custom builds he does.

DBraz Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 So, if there are 47 Ultimates what will 48 and 49 be? Are they the single and double cut prototypes?
cmatthes Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 No - #0047 is the last of the Ultimate run, but the next two that are still using that numbering scheme are Custom Order derivations of the Ultimate run. They requested a number of features that weren't available with or wouldn't be accommodated by the specs of the initial run, thus the Custom Order designation and the move to the back of the line. Both of these do have the same body style as the Ultimate run, but are going to be very different in a few ways.
DBraz Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Thank you for explaining that Chris. I think I have seen one of those Custom order derivations (Lucas?) on Facebook and it looks incredible. What a journey
daa2202 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Here's the "mug shot" of Ultimate #0025 for the Registry. It would really be cool if we were able to get a photo like this for all the guitars in the special run.

Hamer Dave Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 My brother's 0048 with his son Jack rocking it...
cynic Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Two people in the same family requested a first-fret inlay. The epitome of dysfunctional.

The Registry was to purposed to document the original Ultimate run. A post-Ultimate (non-Ultimate? Ulitimate'?) registry (or a combined Shishkov Registry (no modifier)) would likely be welcomed by all. Go for it!

Oh, I thought there was a skip in the number sequence but was from the original run. Nevermind then. Carry on Lads. Cheerio.
HSB0531 Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Well, Ultimately, I will have to give myself an ultimatum. In ultimately untimely fashion I was too late for an Ultimate. But ultimately, I will order a Shishkov.
