hikarateboy Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I think Mike may enjoy making us squirm almost as much as he does building these things.
crunchee Posted February 4, 2015 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?

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.
DaveL Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Lookin great Ted! and crunchee, +1000 on the font in the USA.
coolfeel Posted February 4, 2015 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 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 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.

Thundersteel Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Definitely better than a rabbit with a pancake on his head!Now THAT would be a cool logo!
polara Posted February 4, 2015 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.
cmatthes Posted February 4, 2015 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.

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 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.
cmatthes Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Correct - that's a very cool option as well!
HSB0531 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 12th fret inlay. Quote & Fix: "Not sure how many times we need to say it, but this is Shishkov Guitars, not Hamer." Teds rabbit with a pancake baret guitars. ......Chris
cmatthes Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Well, that particular inlay never made it onto a Hamer, so...
HSB0531 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Well, that particular inlay never made it onto a Hamer, so... :lol: Very good return
BTMN Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 BEAUTIFUL!!! Can't believe no one commented on the Blue one or the Natural looking Ultimates in the shots!!!
hamerhead Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I was gonna comment on the blue one but was too mad at myself.......Dammit that's beautiful.
veatch Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Blue guitars sound better.Especially when they say Shishkov USA on the headstock.
