It looks like the Hoover Dam.

The Hoover Dam stays in tune better.

Hi Gang!  Been lurking around the site for a couple years, and finally have something to post.  Mike's shared a few "naked" pictures of this build on FB over the past couple months, but here's a sneak peak at #78 with some color!  Won't be long now...

You think YOU need more... I'm going nuts waiting (impatiently) for this to be finished and in my hands!  I just try and manage my impatience by knowing that it will be worth the wait in the end.  Every day that goes by is one day closer to FINALLY getting to play this beautiful guitar that Mike built for me!

Shishkov #78 was delivered today and I haven’t been able to put it down.  It has exceeded ALL of my high expectations!  Not only does it look killer (that tiger maple top has an incredible 3D figure!), but it also has great tone and playability.  It is by far the best guitar I have ever played. 
 
Mike and Josh listened to my wishes and they cared as if they were building this for themselves.  Mike’s commitment to quality is unsurpassed. 
 
Here are some of the details:
- Maple/Mahogany/Rosewood
- Cognac sunburst/Gold hardware
- Gibson 1960’s neck profile
- Custom Gravelin pickups (I requested a hotter, yet vintage, PAF style humbucker) – Thanks Josh!  They sound amazing!
- VVT controls with truly independent volume control when both pickups are selected, and push/pull volume pots to switch respective humbucker from series to parallel
 
I could go on and on about how spectacular this guitar is, but I’ll let these photos speak for themselves...
