fractal Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Here's some shots of a guitar that just happened to show up today... I thought some people around here just may be interested...
soli'd Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Congratulations! I have many questions- the pickups- tell me about them. Semi hollow Maverick? Is a spruce top? How did you keep your trap shut thus far!?

cmatthes Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 AWESOME!!! Those pickups really bring out a super cool retro thang...
Toadroller Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 So that's the red carved to SC that's been hinted at on the Shishkov site. Beauty! Congratulations.
bubs_42 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 SPRUUUUCE! How nice #70 and #71 bringing the Spruce. Super Kick Ass!
django49 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Ready for a dish on the sound with those pickups! Are your fingers tired yet?
G Man Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 That's the ticket right there. Beautiful! I want that in a bass.
veatch Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 VERY cool. That combination looks to be killer. Congrats!
BubbaVO Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 That is ridiculouly hot. Makes me think of this:
Northfield Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 The pickups are kick ass and have a cool vintage microphone vibe to them. Back to the Future my friends....
cynic Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Love the dots/no binding on the neck. Beautiful!
DBraz Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 My favourite semi hollow to date. The Maverick shape looks soooo right for the concept. The top being carved too looks fantastic and those pickups just set it all off. That’s a guitar I’d love to play. Congratulations!
ArnieZ Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Love, love love it!! those gold foil pickups are so unique sounding. Love to hear it with a little grind. ArnieZ
mrjamiam Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 What a beauty! I thought I was a double cut kind of guy, but this makes me wonder if maybe...? Congrats and enjoy!
BadgerDave Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5r5OE_u5m0 WOW! I love everything about #71!
JGravelin Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 I knew the specs of this build and all but damn.. that is one HOT piece of Shishkov action. Soli'd, those pickups are some of my handiwork. Fractal and I had a great phone conversation that covered a lot of topics including pickups he loved and was used to, effects, amps, music played ...and Mike gave me the aesthetic direction, envisioning a late 40's/early 50's vintage microphone vibe for the look of things. I immediately thought "RCA! the Shure 'Elvis' mic!" and pretty much went to town with it: gold plated steel mesh with a backing of 1/32" tight-weave black felt, and some most excellent nickel-silver, nickel plated radiator style covers. These were a blast to make and again, what an amazing guitar! One of those and a jazz burst Shishkov double-cut too for me please.
Jakeboy Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 HOW DO THEY SOUND??????? dear goodness! What an awesome guitar! CONGRATULATIONS!!
gorch Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Incredible! Forget about more pics. It needs a recording! Coincidence? Just the other day I had the thought of a microphone in a pickup cover over a (half) acoustic spruce topped guitar kind of thing. Now this one looks exactly like that. You think guitars are done? Damn no!
