Lava.

You're gonna' win at show and tell, I can tell you that!

[Steve Haynie]

You are going to end up spending as much time marveling at that guitar as you are going to spend playing it.

^^ Lovely.  It's getting close. REAL CLOSE!  

You must be beside yourself with anticipation. 

[MCChris]

Big time. I'm not sure if I should have him email me pics of it with all the parts installed or just send me the damn guitar, because such pics will definitely give me the most maxed out chub this 50-year-old geezer is capable of! I should probably do the former just to make sure everything's how I want it before it gets boxed up, but I have zero worries in that regard. So far Mike has nailed everything, from the flame and color of the top to the veneer on the "keystone" (really pleased with how that came out).

That "Keystone" is a KILLER touch.

I had to come up with at least one bell/whistle to keep pace with some of the other Shishkov owners! Mine's comparatively pedestrian with the "options."

To be known hereafter as the "Muse Tip" option.

Just the tip.....

Congrats, Chris - looks great.  Red seems to be a hard color to capture in pics, so I imagine it's going to look that much better in person.

And I'm with you 100% on doing something unique with a custom build.  I did that w/my Private Stock - I wanted to do something different, and I'm not sure where the idea came from, but I'm glad it hit me.

[Jakeboy]

Somehow, saying the "Muse tip" just bothers me.....the visual is disturbing....

 

That said, the headstock is the best I have ever seen.....

[ArnieZ]

Can you imagine someone asking Mike for Muse's tip ? 

I have to confess I think I'd like that on mine but would feel like I was taking something that wasn't mine!

I think the tip is a standard feature, the only thing "muse-ish" about it might be the maple and color match.

[aknapp]

That would be the Shishkov-exclusive "mojo wedge"

All the more reason why the name might stick.

Yes, I just came up with the idea for the veneer overlay.

Been a while since I've gotten an update. Back down to a 1/2 chub.....

About a week away now:

[veatch]

Any sexier, that would have to move to the Outer Circle...

 

Wraptail for the win. 

[hamerhead]

Now that's a Happy New Year. Very cool.

[bubs_42]

Awesome! Can't wait to see it finished up and out of the way so Mike can start mine.
