NGD Shishkov Ultimate #28

[BTMN]

What's this? A White truck rumbles to a stop in the middle of a balmy Florida afternoon?

Can it be a much anticipated package from the North East? A work of art known to render grown men weak in earlier versions? Warning labels should be attached to warn the new owners of said art to brace one's self.

A scaley case hiding an instrument of scales? Puzzling, pieces of green foam that hint of a popcorn scent but for sure not edible?

GRRRRRR!!!

The opening was breathtaking....

Outside backside...

Time for a closeup.

Lost the light outside due to a late afternoon delivery so back inside.

SHISHKOV!!!

Full body wonderness...

Another closeup of Jason and Mike's work of art.

Yeah. Just what I had in mind and then double.

I think it fills the space well. How about y'all?

That is nearly the exact hamer standard I dreamed about owning/ordering for years. Same color and hardware color, but nickel pup covers and an ebony board for me


Awesome score Gene.

Re: NGD Shishkov Ultimate #28

Red flamed guitars are really hard to photograph. I'm sure that thing is totally flamed out in person. Also, I think I like the case just as much as the guitar...lol

Re: NGD Shishkov Ultimate #28

Very flamey and yes hard to photo. The Sun blasts it. Hence, the sepia tone shots.

Pickups are custom made for these guitars by Josh Gravelin. More info on them: http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/70350-shlabotnik/

Nice fat neck on it. Vintage carve. Feels like my Hamers but body has a few angles that make it just that different.

I was rubbing my hands together like a mad scientist so much the driver got a laugh when he came out of the truck.
