NGD Shishkov Ultimate #28

Re: NGD Shishkov Ultimate #28

Welcome Bennyboy! No, he used to work for the Hamer factory when they closed. He now is making guits himself.
 
Re: NGD Shishkov Ultimate #28

Yep I know, I was just being silly :) I spend all day on the HFC, and sadly missed out on the first run :( I will have some Shishkov Pint Glasses in due course though, to while away the time while Mike gets through the first set of orders :)

I've been a member of this forum for years but never made use of the facilities...until now :)
 
Re: NGD Shishkov Ultimate #28

Beautiful. Now you've got me jonesing on the exact same guitar, only in denim blue. Thanks! :33:
 
Re: NGD Shishkov Ultimate #28

Congrats Gene, looks phenomenal, and just when BloodRose and I were saying how we love Explorers you come and take snaps of a beauty like this, yeah, very hard to get my wants and my needs to fall in line with my abilities (skill-wise and funds-wise)...

Re: NGD Shishkov Ultimate #28

Where's that "Daaaaaaaaaaamn!" meme pic again... Wow your guitar is beautiful. And, what's with everybody posting up the awesome Explorers lately, I really don't need GAS right now...
You could post up about 17 more pics, I'd never get tired of looking at that thing. Congrats!
 
Re: NGD Shishkov Ultimate #28

Bump for more love….

I need to get down there to fondle this beast.
 
Re: NGD Shishkov Ultimate #28

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOWWWWWW. As if my GAS for a standard wasn't enough.

(yeah that's right, that's a standard not an explorer)
 
Re: NGD Shishkov Ultimate #28

Nope. It is an Ultimate! 8lbs and chambered. Great Fun and I am one lucky cat to have it to strum.

Re: NGD Shishkov Ultimate #28

^^ Correct, it IS an Ultimate. I was just refering to the design it is 'copying'. I don't think I have seen a single bad looking one from him.

IF I may ask, what was the price range of this? Can't find it anywhere. Are we talking 2k and up or 5k and up etc?
 
Re: NGD Shishkov Ultimate #28

This run of 48 was base priced at $1680 plus $120 for the TKL case but that will not be what they go for if Mike even will do this model other than as a custom run AFAIK. There was an upcharge for the color change, neck/headstock binding, and crowns. He had offered 3 finishes at the base price, with dots and unbound.

Mike has at least 3 new models IIRC and they may have echos of Hamer but then Hamer had echos of others too eh? :headbang:

Life IS Good! Couple HFC guys thrreatened revolt if I chickenhead knobbed it but they don't pay my bills or actively contribute to my general good time even though they are good people. :cool2:
