sonic1974 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Anyone got a Shishkov Junior style guitar in the works? Kind of a "living vicariously" post. Don't have funds now to order one, but would love to see his take on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I would be surprised if one wasn't in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hbom Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Way back when we were younger there was a thread about a "working mans guitar" but I haven't heard much about it in a loooooooong time. But a Jr. might fit right in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I think we'll be seeing more from Mike in 2017, once the current crop of custom orders gets more whittled down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Rest assured the mentioned guitar will rear its head in 2017/18. The only way to get things done is to put your money where your mouth is, that is all I'm going to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More along the lines of my posts the workingman's guitar thread. My thoughts were a junior intepereted by Mike, with a few of my own ideas of other guitars I like. Pretty much sums it up. Needed a mental break after compiling and filing 1099's, so... you had two posts in that thread: "one pickup special with p90, with second or HBs as an option (not too hot), like butterscotch, wraptail. 1200 OTD (with Hamer quality touches of the neck and frets). I would be all over it... could I pick it up? I'll be there in 45 minutes~ I actually live on route 44... just way east " "Solid slab, keep it clean. The wood has to be good, but the neck and frets need to be special with great setup. I was in my local gc today and played a double cut Les Paul... was surprised how much better my artist is. I would say better to have lesser wood on the body and smart choices on pickups. Working man guitar is the special, it is not the cork sniffer, right? Heck, I hate the hockey stick, but if they were hamer quality where my hands touched it, I would buy one." Given your direction (above), the three years since of marinating on it and the amazing enthusiasm / vision / taste / recommendations of Mr. Shishkov that permeate conversations with his clients, I really look forward to the outcome!

bubs_42 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 You guys can spend your time envisioning what it may end up looking like. You don't have anything to go off of, but you have time and lots of it. You never know maybe you will influence it along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You draw up plans in your mind, what the room will look like, what toys (amps) will be with said baby, and then finally brag to your friends on the HFC! Yes, but you can also start making payments to the Hospital ahead of time so that sucker is yours when you bring it home. Keep talking though, but I think most of the details are nailed down or left open or Mike for the seasoning. I was actually considering asking him to build this one first, instead of my first request. I think you'll like both of them. Plane and simple, I ordered not what I wanted, but two specific tools that will get used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I won't go there, but I will say that it will be a killer guitar and its already more guitar than I asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a buyer and keeper... cause if I spent time wanting one... there was good enough reason to buy and then keep and I never get back what I put into it, so screw them! LOL.... I'm averaging one guitar a year.... Part of it is wanting to learn about everything I could and part of it is just insanity. I used to not get rid of anything, but times changed, kids came and the revolving door opened. For this guitar I hope people dig it, its not going to be a Junior or a Special or a Les Paul, Or Or Or, its going to be a Shishkov through in through with a little bit of me, little bit of Josh just for seasoning. I'm actually more excited about this one than the first one I ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean juniors are both single and double cut... an SG junior is still a junior... that's how I took it... that is where the common guitar language started and then let Mike do what he does...it's a beautiful thing! I'd tend to agree about being more excited...Ultimates shape are so cool to me... but I'd never get on cause it would be so big. Yeah, basically I meant a one pickup guitar. Does it need a p-90 to qualify as a junior? Haha, guess that's up for debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 My problem with single pickup guitars is that I get bored, really bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Neil Young and Crazy Horse / Buzzcocks / Thunders), rolled back it's almost tele like... and at the 4 it's this sparkly popsicle! That is the perfect hope of the pickup... plus without magnetic interference, the sound is quite pure... Yes they sound great, but evolution gave us other guitars. That is all I can say, we will not go backwards only forwards with this build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Pauls and Telecasters (save esquires) were around before juniors... as a subspecies of the greatest first guitars, juniors add a certain element... that is awesome! The Junior is like a Single Channel Amp, there is a rawness that happens, a primal truth hat you not only hear but feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
