foodermon Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 That's some insane flame! Based on the over the top quality of the first quilt tops, the first flame tops look to be equally on fire. Jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobB Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Have been trying to take a few shots of things I may not have shown before... Now that’s some precision joinery. Always wondered why many mfgs./luthiers round off the corners of their neck blank dados (not sure if “dado” is the right term for the the part of the neck that glues into the body, so apologies if not correct) I’d surmise that’s because it’s more forgiving than a precisely-cut joint. The sides/top may be true, but there is no true contact/fit in the corners. I think the woodworking skills of Hamer’s builders is what set them apart from many of their contemporaries. I wish I had gone to one of the HFC Open House events and seen Jol insert an unglued neck into a Studio Custom body and hold it in the air, showing the tight tolerances of the neck joints. Pretty impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTMN Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I watched Jol do that with a Standard. Looking great as always Mr. Shishkov. Thank you for sharing and selling us the results of your skills. I will play it accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 That neck joint is tighter than you think. Remember that the neck gets wider from the headstock to the body. The walls of the joint in the body are angled to follow the lines of the edges of the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBraz Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Lovely shots Mike. Up close you can really see the precision work involved. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soli'd Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Looks like #20 is underway, white with black binding... Can't wait to see that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polara Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Then 21 should be on its (nicely carved) heels. In Mystery Finish, no less!Black binding. Hmmm. On solid white perhaps? Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty impressive! I get such a kick out of seeing this stuff. My butchery of many a pine wood derby car has me appreciating what a skilled craftsman can do. Too cool.

Cool.Sorry I was referring to the 0020 standard theme that RichRS6 mentioned, who is actually Shishkov 0013 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottcald Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Mitch - you are the only person who would qualify for a guitar entirely made of binding.Note that it will weigh around 20 LBS and likely be highly flammable! :-)So, clearly you can't play your hottest licks on that guitar!
