BTMN Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Is this also considered the Shishkov Ultimate Appreciation thread or would that be a new thread started by the Ultimate owners?
BTMN Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 In other words I can't get enough of these great looking guitars. The build pictures are so interesting to look at. Mike has got it going on.

BubbaVO Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 This is my favorite discussion. Shishkov pron is the nastiest on the HFC.
cmatthes Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 It IS!What we could use next are some "Glamor Shots" with a Pacific background...
velorush Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 Might be time for a lil update. As the English-accented narrator-dufus keeps telling my son playing Destiny, "you're falling behind!" Been extremely busy - I hope to get an update together soon.
coolfeel Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 It IS!What we could use next are some "Glamor Shots" with a Pacific background...Could you be more pacific sir?
Steve Haynie Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 I have seen the Pacific and the Atlantic. They look the same, and neither is nice as the finish on Jakeboy's Shishkov.
cmatthes Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 A few quick snaps... This one will be on tour this summer!
cmatthes Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Number 0031!?!? I take it you didn't see the post where it was explained why some numbers may be out of order? The order number is a pretty good guide as to completion, but due to a whole host of necessary production efficiencies, specific custom appointments, order changes, unforeseen problems/delays and a host of other factors, these won't always be able to roll off in exact consecutive numerical sequence. Things are on track, and the entire run is still looking like it will be completed within the estimated timeline.
cmatthes Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 It's a Pigtail that was custom fit to the studs.(owner supplied)

Things are on track, and the entire run is still looking like it will be completed within the estimated timeline. It's hard to convey intent thru message board posts- My surprise was stemming from the fact that it seemed like just a month or so 2 weeks ago I read that the 20's were just entering production. I was surprised then because we were just hearing from owners in the first dozen or low teens- hearing that production was in the 20's made me think the production was going faster than i expected. Then to see 0031 made me think maybe I had missed a bunch of NGD's or something. No hand-wringing here.
cmatthes Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 None taken! There are a number of guitars in various stages and we'll be seeing some more NGDs here in the very near future...

I was a bit surprised, too, although I had seen the earlier mail. #0031 just seemed so far ahead of what I was expecting. What is the "estimated timeline"? - I don't recall hearing that, and as #0046, I have a strong interest! Matt
BubbaVO Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 It's a Pigtail that was custom fit to the studs.That's brilliant. I didn't know that was an option. Great execution. Looks awesome.
serial Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Wasn't an option-artist spec'd and supplied. Finished in time for European tour, which should be some excellent exposure for Mike.
hamerhead Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 OK, I don't get out much - who is the artist? (....readying for the dopeslap)
serial Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Tommy Williams of the Hooters. Tommy has been in the Hamer artist stable since 87 or so when he was Debbie Gibson's bandleader/musical director at a very young age.Also one hell of a nice guy and smoking player.
