kizanski Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Imagine along with me for a second...You see "this thing" for sale, advertised as custom built for order.You pick out what you want, throw down your money and you wait.After not too long, the product is ready. You hold it in your hands for the first time, and it only takes a few seconds to see that you got exactly what you wanted.When was the last time that happened to you? More incredibly large photos here. I am absolutely thrilled with this guitar, even though I haven't had the opportunity to plug it in yet, but that will happen this week for certain! The setup is p-e-r-f-e-c-t for me, and the neck carve fits in my hand like it was made for me. Well, it was made for me, but you know what I mean... Mike was gracious enough to let me interrupt his weekend to allow me to pick the guitar up in person. Those of you that have been in the presence of my person know that this also requires some bravery and patience, so again, 1,000 thanks to Mike!
GASguy Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 That guitar is just astoundingly beautiful!Each one of these Shishkov guitars raises the bar on what a gorgeous instrument should be.You guys who got in on this Shishkov Ultimate run are one lucky group.
The Shark Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Fantastic, Mike. Just gorgeous. Funny how we ordered the exact same specs. My new desktop background for sure!
donner Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 I'll have to imagine you as a happy man.For me a pair of Shlabos will be enough Shish for the next time.But now shut up 'n play yer guitar – as someone wiser said!Hope, you won't mind: Some of your #0009 will be working as a screensaver on my mac, thanks!
kizanski Posted April 25, 2015 Author Posted April 25, 2015 Funny how we ordered the exact same specs.As Poe once said to me, "Great minds think alike! ...and sometimes, so do you and I"This is just insane.I know! Right?!Hope, you won't mind: Some of your #0009 will be working as a screensaver on my mac, thanks!Be my guest!
cynic Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Does Mike have a stash of the W. Germany Schallers for these or are you guys providing your own?
mrjamiam Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Congratulations! And thanks for providing a pretty close indication of what I have to look forward to. Although it looks like you went with an ebony fretboard, am I right?
Jakeboy Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Mike evidently has quite a stash of NOS Schaller tuners with the W. Germany markings.Kiz, that is a gorgeous Ultimate.....
FlyNHawaiian Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 Congrats bro! What a beauty! Hopefully one day I can own of my own Shishkov custom too!
BTMN Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 WOW!!! I am FLOORED increasingly by each new guitar posted! :wub: I had ordered Vintage Natural at first but went with the red as per other threads but MAN!!! That is so beautiful. Play the mess out of it please. What a guitar KIZ.
gorch Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 A great thanks to mother nature. Natural tops don't lie. Fantastic top signature! Contrats Kiz!...and to Mike of course.
a.bandini Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 Lovely! Twenty after this one should be identical, but with a tobacco sunburst.
foodermon Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 As expected, that is just spectacular! Xlnt choice and xlnt outcome.
hamerhead Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 The grain is pretty sick, Kiz. You're a lucky man.
