The Shark Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I think what I have in mind is a bit different from what most here have assumed. Mike's in the final stages of my second Shishkov. I'll get him on the phone after he's done with my current order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptm1diver Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Is the rumor true the new model is a Henry J signature series ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucSulla Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 For what it's worth, I can confirm that, apparently, a Shishkov will get you... eh... personal attention from the ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to her yesterday, and she made a point to tell me that it was really "the green guitar" that caught her eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubs_42 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Well I thought really long and hard about ordering another guitar from Mike so I did. You guys know that I by a lot of guitars and I have let a few keepers go from time to time. LOL #70 is on above any other guitar i've owned. Team Shishkov is just amazing, but i'll still have to wait for #90 and #TBD to come my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am almost there.... I let my Newport go for a Shishkov to be named later. It was time. You'll know when you're ready. But dang it, a double cut spruce top hollow Shishkov does sound intriguing.

FGJ Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 With everyone dumping their Hamers on the market to buy Shishkovs, I'd expect plenty of Hamer bargain deals. After all, supply and demand and all. Gotta price 'em to move, fellas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubs_42 Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 The Sub 1k Hamers are getting harder to come by that is for sure. I don't see anyone knocking down the doors for Phantoms and Prototypes yet and they are marching toward turning into 40 year old guitars soon. Only thing raising those prices is inflation, really good cheap imports are selling for more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGJ Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 If I wanted inexpensive, I'd rather buy used...Come to think of it, two of my three Hamers were purchased used, and the one I bought new, I could only afford it because my buddy worked at a small music store and sold me the guitar at their wholesale cost. After seeing all the pretty imported guitars hanging on the walls at GC, and after grabbing them off the walls and feeling how cheap most of them felt compared to my Hamers, I can't see why anyone wouldn't prefer a used Hamer. I guess anything over $350 is still a steep price for someone getting in the game for the first time, especially for a parent who thinks the instrument is just a passing fad for their kid.

Jakeboy Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I am keeping my Hamers. The Newport stays and a new Shish will be incoming . I am so excited at being on the List! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeboy Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Exactly...my Artist, Newport, and CruiseBass are just too special to ever let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
