srvwannab Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Every single Shishkov guitar I've seen (I've only seen the pictures here on HFC) is spectacular. In particular, I am floored by the Ultimates. With that said, who owns the Ultimate, Ultimate? Photos please.
BubbaVO Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 I do. I got exactly what I wanted - simple straightforward rawk machine. No crazy inlays. No binding wizardry. A full neck. The wow factor comes from the shape, the top and finish - which blow me away every time I open the case. Depending on the light you would think they are two different guitars. And both of them kick ass. But your ultimate may vary. http://photobucket.com/gallery/user/BubbaVO/media/cGF0aDovSU1HXzA3NDZfenBzOGpobm5uZDMuanBn/?ref=
hamerhead Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 I'll take his brother's. And Veatch's. And Jakeboy's. ↓
veatch Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Mine. Besides being awesome and perfect, it has my stank on it.
Jakeboy Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Yeah, Veatch...0005 looks great...but I am kinda partial to her sister---0006:
Jakeboy Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Damn. Every one is incredible. Just seeing this thread made me run to my office and plug 0006 into a JMP just to wail a bit.
Boomerang~Junkie Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Oh boy - you are gonna need an electron microscope to split the ultra fine frog hairs displayed in this thread. I couldn't say without playing the others (which all look friggin' incredible), but perhaps you current Ultimate owners could organize some sort of "Ultimate Ultimate Confab" where an actual playoff (fingerhumping) and voting could occur. You could call it ,"The Ultimeet" ! Sorry, I couldn't resist. OK - so I'm not in that elite Shishkov circle anymore, but Foodermon now owns #0044 with the Sustain Block, its a truly remarkable guitar - have mercy. You could put #0044 up against anything out there - period.

Fat neck or skinny neck, stripped down or blinged-out and every variation in between, we all got exactly what we wanted. They're all incredible, and I am extremely honored to be a part of this elite group. So I think the answer to the question is -- everybody say it together now -- "I DO!"
zorrow Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 To me the ultimate Ultimate has a sustainblock. I know there are some. Who wants to please me know with the pics?
donner Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Sssshhhh-sssshhhh! There´s this one member here. And I suppose...
HAMERMAN Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Kevin's is my favorite: http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/72958-something-wicked-this-way-comes/?page=5
cmatthes Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 My Ultimate is MY ULTIMATE, in many ways. Exactly as I wanted it, and even after seeing all the incredible guitars in the run after mine, I still wouldn't change a thing.

zorrow Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 I found it. #44. @Boomerang~Junkie I think is its happy owner.

ETA: ...and then there is #12 from HansPanzer in cherry sunburst. I love that one. Maybe due to Photobucket I couldn't find a pic anymore.
The Shark Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Yeah, I like mine... It has the best fingerboard...
