soli'd Posted February 16, 2018 Share 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!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadroller Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 So that's the red carved to SC that's been hinted at on the Shishkov site. Beauty! Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northfield Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 The pickups are kick ass and have a cool vintage microphone vibe to them. Back to the Future my friends.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBraz Posted February 17, 2018 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnieZ Posted February 17, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGravelin Posted February 17, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorch Posted February 18, 2018 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
