gorch Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Cool as hell! The pickups are looking fantastic in the solid frame.Great story anyway. How could I miss the thread so far. Zorrow was kind enough to show the old 4-digit at the HFC-EU meeting in 2014. Great decision it not to shred down in its old days though. Ha, still have some Hell blood beer bottles stored at a good place.
cmatthes Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 So Mike just emailed me some pictures of my custom fingerboard inlays which he's now finished. Holy crap. Just when you think you've seen the best he can offer, it's like he just casually raises the bar to another level :o Kev - I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing this one when it's finally unveiled!

The end is near. She will be as much as possible, but I obviously don't have her yet. We're midway through pre-production right now, proper recording will be starting in around 6-8 weeks. Depending on Mike's remaining build time, shipment, customs etc, I'm hoping that she will arrive in time for me to at least track a decent chunk of the album with her. But as I've always said - you can't rush art, and #0666 will be done when she's done. Also - because I feel bad about the fact that other HFC guys have shared their in-progress pics and I haven't - I finally capitulated and added a couple for everyone's delight and admiration. Mike's binding and inlay work is utterly flawless. He also tells me that he's adding a 'surprise' to this. I have no idea what he'll come up with
Hamerica Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 ^^^^ That is awesome and inspiring. Very cool concept and looking forward to the impending unveiling. "But as I've always said - you can't rush art, and #0666 will be done when she's done." Amen or is that "Hell Yeah!" Hamerica
cmatthes Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 After seeing those, I've got an idea for Spring Shishkov Swag...Shishkov DROOL BUCKETS.
DBraz Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Wow! Looks very good indeed. Flawless inlay and binding work.
kevinbower1959 Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 More progress shots from the master .........
hamerhead Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 That top makes me sick. Seasick. Can't wait to see it done.
BubbaVO Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 That one will look awesome under stage lights. Hope we'll see some pics.
foodermon Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 That is just incredible work. The binding. The inlay. What a top and phenomenal book match. The finish.. And that's not seein it all. Awesome build.
aknapp Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Very Cool! I especially like the Darth Vader helmet right below the trem route - and the raven by the strap pin.
Boomerang~Junkie Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Yep, just when you thought you'd seen all Mike's special, unique and mad skills displayed . . . he drops the ICBM of the Ultimate world. That insane neck binding and little pinch-pint, flourish at the end of the neck. I involuntarily uttered, a slack-jawed, "Wait. What? F*ck" under my breath when I saw it all. I think I just felt the Earth shake, because every other metal shredding guitar is about to be reduced to a pair of kids' safety scissors.
django49 Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 I love that sort of book matching, How rare is it to get something that perfect in a quilted top? Art work!
