crunchee Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Wow, love that logo, lookin' sharp! I also love how the 'U.S.A.' is the same font (I think) as the style used for many years by Hamer, and not the blockier, thicker-letter verson that was used starting in '96 or so. So, did anybody order a 'stadium' logo version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, did anybody order a 'stadium' logo version? More insanely nice photos - mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm. And then look at what's hanging in the back in the second photo - damn. Stadium Logo: I was not aware this was an available option in this run? If so, hell yes count me in on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolfeel Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 There are going to be some very happy owners soon. I'm thinking this may be an unprecedented event where folks are able to get guitars built with such unrelenting expertise at the price point these sold for...

HSB0531 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Stadium logo is NOT an option. (in a sincere light-hearted tone) Silent partner? / business manager are we? :rolleyes: But if if were available, I'd add that option to the order.

cmatthes Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Mike can't be on here 24/7, because he's building guitars and spending time with family. Not sure how many times we need to say it, but this is Shishkov Guitars, not Hamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polara Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 An an alleged creative professional, I like how the Bookman Bold Italic (swashes) is actually better in lower case saying Shishkov than in upper case saying HAMER. And yeah +1 on this not being Hamer but Shishkov. I know most of any audience wants to hear the old hits one more time, but the artist is doing a new thing now, and I think the results of a builder's unfettered imagination and skills will be more interesting than just doing what has already been done. Looking forward to the future classics that'll come out of this shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I couldn't have said it better, Rick.I think it's important that Mike's roots are in the venerable tradition of Hamer, but he's building upon that legacy to create a new identity. Let's embrace that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's embrace that.Sure thing and it's nice to feel the old Hamer mojo we all love coming through in Mikes designs. Similar I guess to how Hamer first evoked the Gibsons they loved of the day.

Hamer Dave Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Shweeet looking! I presume the matching head is an option? Wasn't aware of that, then again the traditional look will be super cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
