Jakeboy Posted July 7, 2022 Posted July 7, 2022 Though I am not the owner, 0101 was delivered today. It is a single cut, semi-hollow 1 f-holedbody. Sitka spruce sea foam painted top, hog sides and back that are beautiful, hog neck with braz board. Pickup is a triplebucker with a Gravelin single and a Gravelin series 2 Slammer repro. Custom sustainblock bridge. The single sounds very Tele-like and the tone knob has a wide useable range. Mike Shishkov delivered it personally. @cmatthesWill post pics. Another gorgeous and rocking Shishkov in Fender scale.
cmatthes Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 Digging Mike’s original “WM” bridge - familiar in some ways, but very different. Fantastic execution and concept all around!
BubbaVO Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 Digging how the SC3 carved top is so gorgeous. Spectacular. Whets my appetite for 0102.

I'm not sure if Mike had a post about that or not, but it's an original design that he crafted. It has 6 individual, adjustable "fingers" that attach to a machined plate. The Sustainblock-style saddles travel on those for additional intonation/tweaking. I got to check out his prototype a few years back, and it's a cool concept.
specialk Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 How the hell can Shishkov Guitars keep getting better with each iteration? He and his customers hit it out of the park EVERY time. Thanks for the pics. (time for a new keyboard.) 😀

HSB0531 Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 I'd want a Shishkov long scale 4-string bass just like this guitar.

I think at least of few customers have had conversations with him about this bridge. 0090 was loaded with the Haynes Bridge because I didn’t want a Sustainblock but I wanted some of the benefits of it. Mikes Bridge concept is a hybrid of the two concepts. Taking the original to another level, bringing the old forward as he has done with the guitars themselves. This guitar is the first one to be released with this bridge on it. It is visually stunning to say the least.
cmatthes Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 This is a HUGE cool factor - THE Mitch Easter weighed in on Mike’s page…
G Man Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 This might be my favorite so far. Bet it fucking rocks.

Hamerica Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 Drop Dead Gorgeous. +1 to all the comments! I saw this when it originally posted and thought really nice guitar. Then I kept dreaming about that specific guitar. I had to do a double take on the bridge as well. This is truly "Modern Vintage". I call dibs...damn, that is the sexist looking guitar I have seen in a long time. Congrats to Mike, Trish and the new owner. Hamerica.
