It sure does, what a waste... LOL I still don't know what he is going to do with those extra frets, we may need video as proof he know how to use them. ;)

I foresee a maple neck my next Shishkov which is 0117.

You won't regret it, Mark!

That looks like a substantial neck profile.   Shape ? Measurements? Please.

It’s pretty meaty, which is how I like ‘em!   Not quite a Nocaster, but like a nice, big ‘59 LP/Flying V Style.   Super comfortable- Mike nailed it!

Chris-

Do you know if Mike keeps build sheets on file for completed guitars for him to reference regarding neck specs, etc.? I’m still shocked at how my neck fits me based on me describing my preferences to him.

I hope so...it wouldn’t break my heart to have him match the 0006 neck on the upcoming build...

I was worried about communicating my desire for a thick neck to Mike on number 96.  I sent the specs for my Ibby Paul Gilbert Fireman, which is beefy, but how does a pair of numbers translate, really?

Fortunately, on my visit to Shishkov World HQ two summers back, I got to play the Maverick prototype.  "This," was my neck request, "this."  So he had a reference pretty handy.  Just what I wanted.

Turns out to be meatier than my Fireman!

There's some new sawdust flying around in the Barkhamsted woods lately...
