bubs_42 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Posted March 22, 2018 @kizanski and like most of your requests, this one too will be denied!
MCChris Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 My Shishkov is so good that it shut off my desire for more guitars like a spigot....including other Shishkovs.

Definitely not, one day Mike will roll out another model and his trigger will be tripped. I think I know his weakness but he will have to wait for it. 1 hour ago, MCChris said: My Shishkov is so good that it shut off my desire for more guitars like a spigot....including other Shishkovs. Thats bullshit and you know it.

I'm willing to pay a premium for the first larger bodied semi-hollow Shishkov. I have ideas.

That other "Avalon" Mike may have worked on at Hamer (Robin made my Avalons), isn't really what I had in mind. I'll require "stretching" of the basic Shishkov design. A little thicker than the current killer semi-hollows. A little bigger. Some assumed I envisioned a modified double cut Shishkov. I'm talking about the single cut... Ready to order.

bubs_42 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Posted March 23, 2018 You know there is only one way to do this and that is to submit a request and see what Mike has to say. I just go in and say "Hey what about this?" unfortunately for me he keeps saying yes.

I'm not saying it might not get switched on again if Mike comes out with another body style I like, but I don't need another DC and the SC doesn't do it for me. I don't even troll the Elderly used/vintage section for NOS bargains anymore.
ptm1diver Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Is this a sneak picture of a possible new design? 😉
The Shark Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 I'll be talking to Mike. That's all I'll say... We'll see...
hamerhead Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Something sized between the 335 and the 339 would be interesting....
Jakeboy Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Mike and I have discussed what I want but here is the issue....my Strat and telemaster will have to go. No biggie . Even though I love them. No biggie. In order to fund what I want with Mike, my Newport will have to go and that is my stumbling block. My Artist will never go. But I am getting more and more attached to the Newport. Life is all about choices....
hamerhead Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Have Mike build an exact replica of the Newport. Problem solved.

Just remember you will sell the newport regret it and have to buy another one for MORE money later. You could order a spruce top Semi Hollow DC, i'd cash in for one of those. NO MINE IS NOT FOR SALE!
Jakeboy Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Semi hollow is already covered by the Artist.... what I am aiming for with Mr. Shishkov is not hollow or semi hollow in any way....which is why giving up my Newport is so hard. But I am almost there....
