DaveL Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Hi all, I'm really wound up so bear with me... lol. Arrived this morning, thanks to Mike for shipping on a Friday via fedex "home" so I would get it today (with an assist from the guitar playin fedex driver who made sure I got it when I had to run out for a quick errand and missed him). specs: vintage amber, bound and crowned, non bound headstock, CHUNKY neck with low action, and Mike did not disappoint, really nice craftsmanship throughout, weight 8 lbs. plays fast, passed my obligatory test. the riff from Def Leppard's "Wasted" into a marshall. My buddy is going to help me on some youtube sound clips when I get a chance... Well, enough of my yappin, here's some pics... adding a poker chip interesting... did not realize the overlay was trans black with grain showing thru and not black. (note: that's pollen on the face)
django49 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Nice!A Mary Ann/Ginger poker chip would be even better!
serial Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Headstock faces are ebony (the wood), not a trans black finish or fibre material. Completely classy axe!
GASguy Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Holy Shit that is a beautiful guitar!The book matching of the flame is a work of art that borders on pornography, but in a good way. 😻😻😻
hamerhead Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 It got an outloud 'Jeezus' from me, Dave. That is just stupid good. Wow.
cmatthes Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 That is unbelievably cool!Excellent choice on specs, and perfect all around!
RobB Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Beautiful, Dave! You must be stoked. Like Chris said, great choice of options. That guitar commands authority!
atomicwash Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Those are some happy peanuts!!! And what a beautiful top.Congrats!!!
HAMERMAN Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Another beauty! First time I have noticed the lack of screws on the tuners, makes it super clean looking. Maybe it's the first shot I have seen of the back of a Shishkov headstock?
Tortious Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Ridiculous. Sofa king cool. Congrats. Are those peanuts there on purpose? Really excited to see this company get off the ground.
BTMN Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Hi all, I'm really wound up so bear with me... lol. As usual, this page needs pron....
soli'd Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Would love to see a shot from behind... has anyone posted a shot of the back of one yet?
Jakeboy Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Beautiful guitar! Congrats! I love the Wasted riff too!
