velorush Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 It is the east, and Juliet 0023 is the Sun UY Scuti! 0023 was delivered a few minutes ago. I took a cell phone photo that shows a color absolutely nothing like the guitar. A headstock photo will have to suffice until I can get it home under more controlled conditions with an actual camera: This one's a little different.
gorch Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Zong! Headstock binding off class. Quit your job immediately, go home and take pics. ETA: replace of for off.
polara Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 That looks dee-luxe! Looking forward to seeing the rest.
velorush Posted September 24, 2015 Author Posted September 24, 2015 I've taken about five photos and others in the office have tried, as well. It refuses to be photographed accurately. This is as close as I've gotten, but it isn't even close. They absolutely nailed the finish I requested. It is a very complex burst that I'm considering calling Scutiburst ('cause it's about 1,700 times as large as a sunburst) And another attempt The neck is [Trump voice] HUGE [/Trump voice] - perfectly shaped. I played for a few minutes at my desk (unplugged) - this thing could give my semi-hollow Gibson a run for it's money for unplugged volume! Also surprised at how lightweight it is.
veatch Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Very cool. Love the binding and the burst!
RobB Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Another beautiful example. We have a winnah!
coolfeel Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 That's killer! If you're neck is anywhere near as big as David Bs Shishkov it is indeed huge. BUT amazingly comfortable with a D like profile...
kizanski Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Every one of these I see is the nicest one I've ever seen.I know I've said it before.I'll stop saying it when it ceases to be true.Congrats on #23!
bubs_42 Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Wonderful! Still impressed even though I had a sneak peak or two. Classy Axe Indeed.
django49 Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 I love the binding and the color. Looks similar to the "Beauty Of The Burst", I think.
scottcald Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Jeez, that's horri.....yeah, I couldn't even get through that with a straight face. Every one of these I look at and go, "Wow, that's perfect". Congrats. Let's hear it too!
BubbaVO Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Bling. Beauty. I really like that burst - a summer sunset. I can only imagine what it looks like in person.
Jakeboy Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Yes! A gorgeous sunset burst indeed! Scutiburst!Just beautiful! Congrats!

Boomerang~Junkie Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 More amazing work from Mike. CONGRATS! Just imagine for a moment, ALL 23 of these Ultimate masterpieces (to date), for sale, hanging on the same wall in one of your favorite local guitar shops? When you walk in, you know you barely have the money to buy ONLY ONE of these Ultimates - that's it. To make it even more difficult IMPOSSIBLE, you are able to fingerhump and play all of them first so you could try to make your one choice. I'd gladly own any one of these Ultimates so far - finishes I NEVER thought I'd think twice about I actually like. ALOT. I'd be SOOOO screwed it isn't even remotely funny. How DOES he do it?
atomicwash Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 That is mesmerizing. Great finish choice.Mike - OMG again!!!
