DaveL Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 that is awesome looking... top looks superb and doesn't get lost or blotchy with the application of color.

veatch Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Great top, and i can't wait to see the finished product!
DBraz Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 The spec of these Ultimates keep raising the bar. And for an initial introductory run it is truly outstanding. I agree with others. It would be lovely to have pictures of them all, in the same position, same angle, on their cases.
serial Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Yeah-I keep having to go back and stare at this one...

ptm1diver Posted June 22, 2016 Author Posted June 22, 2016 Mike sent me a few updated photos. It's not buffed out yet. Its looking like a very cool guitar.

BubbaVO Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 All sorts of awesome on the front and the back. Looks like another home run. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

ptm1diver Posted July 16, 2016 Author Posted July 16, 2016 Soon. I picked it up and spent the day with Mike and Trish. They are great folks.
Northfield Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 It was fun hanging out for the afternoon! Thanks for making the trip up.
ptm1diver Posted July 18, 2016 Author Posted July 18, 2016 I would like to thank Mike and Trish for welcoming me into their home last Friday. I was treated like a long time friend and I know I made 2 friends that day. They are great people and I saw some of Mikes other creations, including the 2 new prototypes. I could not resist, I put in my order for a double cut and Mike let me pick the top wood for the build. All I can say about the wood I picked is OMG!!! Now I have to wait again, but it will be worth it. I understand that Chris picked up the first Ultimate and I picked up the last Ultimate. How cool is that Chris. Chris and I live fairly close to each other, so the offer is open for you to personally check out my guitar. I'd be happy to meet up with you. For those that do not understand, after seeing what Mike puts into each instrument, and the attention to every detail, when you get your guitar, you will be like a Kid in a candy shop. These are 100% hand crafted instruments of exceptional quality, not guitars assembled from piles of parts that are mass produced. I requested neck specifications that meet the needs of my small hands and my Ultimate fits like a custom soft leather glove. Many thanks go out to Mike and Trish. I had a great day with them that ended with dinner at the restaurant which is where Hamer used to be.
soli'd Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Many congrats to you on receiving such a superb instrument, and to Shishkov USA for closing out an incredible run; 48 in 24 (months). That's a wrap, folks!
The Shark Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Simply fantastic guitar. Mike finished the initial run strong. I'm excited to see what's next. And I'm invested!
gorch Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 So, the Ultimates are done right? From first to last they were ultimately unique and ultimately fantastic. I have really enjoyed the run and regret having stepped from the list. However, it was just right doing so at the time. Many thanks for a marvelous Ultimate time.
cmatthes Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 There are still some coming from the custom orders that came in right after the initial run...stay tuned!!
