bubs_42 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Because of the bridge on that guitar, but yes I agree twice is too much. LOL

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... .....just because this needed to be on the second page. WE 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!

nhojbo Posted June 7, 2018 Author Posted June 7, 2018 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...
ArnieZ Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 only 4 photos? Gorgeous man! Welcome to the world of Shishkov near perfection☺️. I have said it before it does not get better than this!!! ArnieZ
Funky Chicken Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Wow. That came out fantastic. Love how they are all a little different. Congratulations and enjoy!
veatch Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 You have good taste. That came out incredible! Good spec and well built!

atomicwash Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Loverly! Once again. I got the series to parallel switch on my SC (bridge only), and I love it. Major personality change.
nhojbo Posted June 12, 2018 Author Posted June 12, 2018 Mike posted some beautiful photos of #78 on FB which I thought I would share here. Enjoy!
