    Incredible stuff in your posts - wow. That wood seems like nasty stuff to work with. Side question: So, can you even touch the raw wood surface with your bare hands (not sanding it and no sawdust) without it causing you problems - or is it just a reaction to the oils/sap in it etc?

    HOLY. SHIT. MAD. SKILLS.

    This is a much deserved and incredible journey with equally cool stories . Only the HFC family could pull this together and make it happen - but for SIX YEARS. Wow. With that said, there has to be a guitar magazine somewhere that would want to cover the awesomeness of this guitar's travels as a story. Just my opinion.

    Can we talk about the neck profile on the S/S/S? I'm "neck spec sensitive," should be some kind of medical syndrome! I f'ed up my left arm 20 years ago (road racing motorcycles) and the necks I can play are a lot more limited as a result. Any way you can put calipers on this neck and let me know what we're looking at?

    I have a '91 Sunburst, specs are 0.835 at the 1st and 0.856 at the 12th and these are livable (thought not ideal). 

    Thanks! Andrew

      Andrew,

      Its around .886 with calipers ON TOP of the smaller strings compressed down to the fingerboard.  Its .901 on top of the nut with the bottom caliper  angled back to the narrowest part of the neck opposite the nut.  It is 1.6865 wide at the nut.  This measurement is accurate.

      I have large, ham-fisted hands with several fingers that have been broken on both and prefer larger, more C shaped necks, but this one is comfortable and quite fast (for me).

      FYI - I have someone in the UK seriously interested and we are trying to work out shipping issues and overall costs with CITES etc.

      But, you are first in line here in the US, with one behind you kicking the tires!

      Does the 816 part make you local to the KC Metro area?

      Stay safe,

      Scott

      Scott,

      Too big for me, kind of what I feared. It's a reasonable size, but my little dinged up hands it won't work. Hamer's smaller necks are great for me, but hard to track down.

      Thanks for the effort and good luck with the sale over to the UK.

      816 was my father's jet in Vietnam's tail number; kind of a lucky family number so to speak.

      GLWYS!!!

      Ricky,

      It was great speaking with you today and chatting with another Peavey fan.

      I'll get the T-60 shipped out to you tomorrow.

      Stay safe,

      Scott

      Same goes for me. Give me the price and an address, and I'll cut you a check and get it in the mail. It's a pleasure to have such a straightforward transaction. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery.

    Heck, I told Mike he could sell that wonderful shop sawdust in sealed clear plastic cigar tubes with his logo lasered on the tube as "Shishkov Mojo" or something like that. Heck, I'd buy a tube for the most awesome case candy ever. Now that I think about it , a tube of that would go great as a gift along with a pair of Shishkov logoed Scotch glasses (hint-hint).

    Mike, As usual, your work is just PERFECT! Wow.

    ^ ^ Hmmm . . . ^ ^ I just thought it was a directional arrow that Mike slipped in there in case Chris got so drunk he couldn't find the strings!
  14. Boomerang~Junkie
    See, that's a thinkin' man ^ ^ right there. ^ ^ Make sure you are the only delivery guy for the other first few Shishkov Ultimates. That way - right after the owner - you can get the first chance to finger-hump each one and then call "DIBS". BRILLIANT.
  15. Boomerang~Junkie
    HOLY F*CK that guitar is INCREDIBLE!
  16. Boomerang~Junkie
    Great get - enjoy it!

    1. The last roll of black and white checkered Tolex MojoTone had in their inventory . Thank you Chris for steering me to them. 2. OK - I am fully aware these guitars are aesthetically even more polarizing than Kahler's are in their own right , but hey, I think they are cool as hell. Also, two of my friends who have played them swear their overall build quality and attention to detail is on par with Hamer's. They also loved the way they played and said they were insanely resonant unplugged. This is a very nice seller who gave me a great deal on it - we'll see on the build quality part. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MUSIC-MAN-ARMADA-ELECTRIC-GUITAR-LES-PAUL-TONE-PRICE-REDUCTION-THIS-IS-A-DEAL-/261665984806?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=Q3xe%252BO3gaCng5JeptvvOo2VX9q8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Side note: the seller plays in a local band with Dudley Gimpel, who is having him signed the inside of the access cover - which is a cool freebie (There are a few YouTube videos of them playing together to prove it!). I also got the impression Dudley may have assisted him "selecting" this one. Tracking shows it will arrive here Friday. I'm a bit worried - this entire region has been cold as all get out for the past few days. I'll have a NGD thread sometime this weekend after it sits and acclimates. I'll also be selling my V.O. Phantom Custom an amp to make room for this one. That will get posted FS this weekend as well. I did a Griswald amount of friggin' driving (~1700 miles), but overall it was a great Christmas for the family. We are (I am) very blessed.
