daa2202 Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Ladies and gentlemen, let me present Shishkov Ultimate #0025 - Cognac finish, ebony board, crowns, bound fretboard and headstock: Plays beautifully, with a nicely (but not ridiculously) chunky neck...and sounds fantastic. The Shlabotniks are a perfect match for this guitar, from a whisper to a scream. It sounds absolutely crushing through both a PRS Archon and an ENGL Powerball. The full-guitar photo washes out the grain in the top a little bit...the tighter shot shows it more accurately. In person, it's distinct end-to-end figuring...beautiful. Big thanks to Mike...and a hat tip to Josh Gravelin, too. Well done, gentlemen...well done!
BTMN Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 My, My, My! That is a pretty one!!! #25 huh? <---waiting on #28

DaveL Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Very cool! the bound headstock looks nice too... enjoy!
polara Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Very nice! That's a cool color and the binding gives it a very posh, uptown vibe. Fingers crossed this means No. 21 is taking shape.

sixesandsevens Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Beautiful! How do you feel "cognac" compares to trans orange?
cmatthes Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 It's kind of a "burnt orange" - not as bright, more subtle, and with more of a rich, caramel coloring.
sixesandsevens Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 It's kind of a "burnt orange" - not as bright, more subtle, and with more of a rich, caramel coloring.Thanks Chris. Was it a color in the regular Hamer catalog too?
