senmen Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 WTB: Shishkov Ultimate Preferably in Europe, but appreciate every offer! Many thanks for looking Greetz Oliver
Disturber Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Only know of one in Europe, in Norway. But there might be more than one. Not many though.... Good luck in your search.
senmen Posted December 20, 2019 Author Posted December 20, 2019 Thank you very much! Really appreciate!
donner Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 If no Shish is available, why not the „Gold Standard“ itself? This 79 4-digit popped up lately in a trustworthy Munich shop: https://reverb.com/item/30727719-hamer-standard-1979-sunburst
senmen Posted December 21, 2019 Author Posted December 21, 2019 Yeah saw that already for sale. Well will think about. Anyway many thanks for the hint. Greetz Oliver

This 79 4-digit popped up lately in a trustworthy Munich shop: https://reverb.com/item/30727719-hamer-standard-1979-sunburst Heard that shop is owned by Matthias Jabs of the Scorpions. But I'm not sure. Lots of "story" on that one.
senmen Posted December 21, 2019 Author Posted December 21, 2019 Yeah that is true. The shop is owned by MJ.
dgstandard Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 I used to own that one. Wish I never sold it. Good luck with your search! A Shishkov is on my bucket list.
bubs_42 Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 @dgstandard you should buy it and send me back my Vector!
donner Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 ...and once a year there is an inofficial family meeting at the shop. Friends, family, current and ex-Scorpions members fly in from all over to have a concert in that (very) tiny shop. The whole city street is pumped up with those familiar sounds. Strange vibe, there...

donner Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 I could seize the Std. here in Munich, if you like. You just had to send me the money back, later. 😎

ptm1diver Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 Why not call Mike. Offer him $15,000 plus a round trip to you to deliver it. just a thought.
senmen Posted December 23, 2019 Author Posted December 23, 2019 Still looking for an Ultimate! Happy to receive your offers with price and photos by PM! Many thanks for looking! Oliver
cmatthes Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 There aren’t many of them out there, honestly. I think maybe 4 or so have changed hands to date. Definitely keep watching, but there is definitely a list of people looking for them. Having the money on hand when one comes up seems to be the way to go, since they don’t last long!

I recently got lucky buying @BadgerDave’s Ultimate which was delivered in person. TY Dave! It’s simply amazing (and 2 lbs lighter than the Custom Standard I sold).
senmen Posted December 23, 2019 Author Posted December 23, 2019 Guys, many thanks for your advises. Will have my eyes open.... Greetz Oliver

Gorgeous Assuming some unfortunate event doesn't end my existence, that one's staying with me - it's very special for many reasons, but being #0001 - Mike's first one that wasn't a prototype, and one of my two favorite guitars ever are near the top of the list!

I bought Bub's Ultimate and sold it to a great guy that caught me in a momentary lapse of reason. I'll admit I should have kept that guitar. But the new owner was just the kind of person you want to have such a cool guitar.
