cmatthes Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Totally agree. I'll do my best to take some good outdoor shots if the weather permits this coming weekend. That should be getting close to the time some other new Shishkovs start hitting their owner's doors too..

Hamerica Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Tried to get a good shot of the inlays-they are stunning-unfortunately, this pic isn't great. Ahem...I want to see the full frontal nudity of this guitar. I think it has a little more to reveal. Besides why only "two" pics when you could have "three"? Hamerica

Who says we're not collaborating on the new and improved Sustain Block II Shishsonic Vibration Extender Cube™?
Citrus Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Hey cmatthes are you sporting a Shishkov chapeau???

cmatthes Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Hey cmatthes are you sporting a Shishkov chapeau??? Yes. Coming very soon - just working out a bug or two! That'll be a new thread though.
gorch Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Lock the boobies, booties, and legs threads. Porn is over here!

Ahem...I want to see the full frontal nudity of this guitar. I think it has a little more to reveal. Besides why only "two" pics when you could have "three"? Hamerica No real reason, I just haven't spent the time to get a full shot yet because I've been PLAYING this one nonstop. I shot the headstock pic because someone asked about the truss rod cover and while I was shooting it, I tried to get a shot of the stunning inlays, but the iPhone pics were subpar and I couldn't capture the quilt well. Just my 'Two' cents... I'll take some better pics and post when I get the chance!
Dasein Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 You guys are piecing these out like a methadone dealer....
coolfeel Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Anyone have any thoughts on the overall tone and playability?
cmatthes Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I'm still experimenting with mine. The neck is...well, PERFECT (for me). It's nice and full feeling without being chunky, clunky or slow. The board feels a little wider than my 2008 Standard, but that could be due to the profile - I actually prefer it. Fast, slick and not a dead spot anywhere. Really a joy to play. Just to note, I did ask Mike to make a bigger neck profile than usual. As far as the tone, again, I'm still playing around with different amps and settings, but it has a nice "bark" and "chime" on the bridge pickup - nice sparkle, a full, but slightly nasally tone in-between, and a really nice creamy neck pickup tone. I actually like it with the volume and tone pots backed off a tick or two and a little more push from the amp. I've still got many hours of playing around, but am really having fun with it. I will say that the chambering definitely contributes something to the overall tone. It's a little more midrangey than a few other similar solidbodies, but has a bit of a smoother, more compressed thing going on - tough to explain, but I am really liking it. I've honestly been having so much fun playing it that I'm not really taking notes or anything!
Camstone Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Tried to get a good shot of the inlays-they are stunning-unfortunately, this pic isn't great. Would love to see a picture of this whole guitar please. Is that Mike's Tobacco burst?

DBraz Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 nice sparkle, a full, but slightly nasally tone in-betweenWow. I have always liked guitars that can generate that slightly nasally tone. I can get it with my Phantom A5 Custom with the tone backed off a bit and it makes the guitar such a joy. You must be over the moon Chris as it sounds like there is some great integration going on between the woods and pickups.
MCChris Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Is that Mike's Tobacco burst?Yes, it is.Perfect color.
bubs_42 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Is that Mike's Tobacco burst?Yes, it is.Perfect color. The Headstock Binding looks pretty hot as well.
MCChris Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Perfect color. The Headstock Binding looks pretty hot as well.As always, Not Chris made all the right moves!
kizanski Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 The Headstock Binding looks pretty hot as well.It has me almost regretting not getting it on mine.
bubs_42 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 The Headstock Binding looks pretty hot as well.It has me almost regretting not getting it on mine.I'm with ya. Looks good, real good.
sixesandsevens Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 ^^^ The man can barely contain his excitement!I think El was thinking "Chris - I swear I ordered blueburst. Are you sure this one's mine?"
