Steve Haynie 9,756 Posted March 20, 2015 Not much. Not much at all! Well then prove it. Add some wings and throw it across the room to see if it flies like a paper airplane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmatthes 16,918 Posted March 20, 2015 Well, as of yesterday, the first three had been delivered. The fourth lands today in the cold Midwest. Two of the three who have had them since last Sunday have been on the road for most of the week. Not a lot of time for video/audio recording, but that will certainly be a possibility soon I'm sure. Eventually, we'd like to get some demos/tone reports up on the Shishkov main site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polara 3,795 Posted March 20, 2015 I saw a post on the Shishkov FB page that was gushing about the Ultimates, from an ex-HFCer. So there may be some updates there with photos, though the person in question isn't in this forum any longer. I am actually planning in my head what angles and in what room I'll take my NSUD photos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmatthes 16,918 Posted March 20, 2015 Interesting, because that person doesn't have his guitar yet, and it isn't even in the first batch or two. Maybe he has a time machine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, 0004 should be going over to our Fearless Leader, Ted. I won't belabor the forum with the simple logic of that conclusion, but you can find it for yourself in the "Other notes, algorithms and mysteries" section at the bottom of the Shishkov Ultimate Registry. That said, a "Brent's Guitar Emporium - Shishkov Ultimate Edition" would be a welcome addition to the narrative! ETA: it seems CMatthes beat me to the punch.

cmatthes 16,918 Posted March 20, 2015 Actually, #0004 was delivered to Elduave on Sunday, at his 50th Birthday Bash. Ted's #0002 arrives via a special carrier sometime today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, I failed to actually read my own dang formula: ([serial] - 1) = HiKarateBoy The number of occasions I have been caught multi-tasking rather than paying attention to what I am posting are approaching my post count.

hikarateboy 787 Posted March 20, 2015 I havent plugged it in yet but I can say this is the best guitar I have ever owned! The WHOLE guitar resonates even when just hitting a single string. It almost like its alive but it really isn't which is good because that would be freaky. The ebony board feels great and notice the truss rod cover. Nice touch. I am more than happy with non bound headstock. I didn't know if my conversation with mike about the neck profile translated but he nailed it. I wanted one similar to a vintage Hamer and I got it. I agree it may be wider like chris mentioned but it feels good. This short post will have to do for now as I need to spend some time with this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
