Travis Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Well, I took the plunge. This morning I put down a deposit towards my very first Shishkov... The excitement and anticipation grows from here...
Jakeboy Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Congrats. I am waiting on one as well. It is worth the wait.
PaGator Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 The wait will seems longer than expected and the arrival will be better than expected, congrats and enjoy!
bubs_42 Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 Travis, i'll have to come up and have some Shishkov and Beers.
atomicwash Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 It is simply amazing how many HOURS you will spend daydreaming about the Shishkov. Whatever you do, DO NOT let your employer know you ordered a Shishkov. Your productivity is going to drop, they just don’t need to know why. Now I must get back to thinking about the SCII that’s in process...

Travis Posted July 31, 2019 Author Posted July 31, 2019 Just got confirmation of my place in line and the number assigned. I was hoping for a cool number and I think this fits the bill. #0123 edited the title of the thread to reflect this...
cornjulio Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Congrats! Can't wait to see what it will be. Went to see Mike and Trish in May and saw some fantastic builts in the making. Really made me want to order another one (and I pretty much know what I want) but I have to sit this out for a wee while. 😝
Travis Posted August 17, 2019 Author Posted August 17, 2019 Just checked... it’s only a 14 hour drive to Barkhamsted from my house... wondering when it’s time if anyone wants to meet for a beer on a Saturday when #0123 is complete...
jlunch Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Congratulations! I just got word today from Trish and I was assigned a number as well, #132. This is my first rodeo and I'm very happy. I can't wait to see what he'll build for you. Keep us posted, it's exciting for everybody.

Whatever it ends up being, it’ll be amazing.
jlunch Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Thank you Travis. Over the past several weeks, while silently lurking and having not chimed in, I have read and viewed nearly every build thread on this channel so I have seen most of the gorgeous guitars. It's exciting today seeing them unfold even though it's not in real time as it is for you or myself right now. Being that I've seen most of the guitars, I can definitely say mine will be different as it will be a semi-hollow spruce top.
nhojbo Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Congrats guys! You're going to love your Shishkov's. Like so many others here, I love mine so much I got on the list again (#125)!
cmatthes Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 I can't imagine one being any more spectacular than the Shishkovs I've got, but that being said, I absolutely HAD TO go with my next one...for many reasons.
cmatthes Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 Let's just say it's been assigned for a long time now...
Jakeboy Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 I am 0117....and this one will be a simple, albeit different build.

soli'd Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 Another vote for semi-hollow spruce top. I think it was @bubs_42 who was ground zero for this outbreak.

I'll look forward to seeing that. The last one you did left half my face on the floor.
