diablo175 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 on the other hand a custom order may be on the cards next. Might be a while on that custom build, Rich. Mike's likely got plenty on his plate with two runs of the Ultimate and his website currently isn't allowing any submissions for custom orders. Trust me, I have my custom order spec-ed out and ready to go. The minute he starts accepting custom orders again, I'll be at the front of the line, waiting.
RichRS6 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I know, I know, I know. I can wait.It may be a long wait but it'll be worth it.
cmatthes Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 It'll still be less time than waiting for a custom Jackson...
diablo175 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Touche. But if the wait time truly was an issue, I wouldn't have ordered one. As sad as it sounds, I can rationalize ordering a custom ax because I play in band that gigs out. Once this band dissolves, I don't see starting another and thus, my rationale for explaining away a custom ax to myself (and my wife ) dissolves. I know the custom Jackson will be here in time for at least a few gigs. A custom Shishkov? Not so sure.
BTMN Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Wait. Does that mean you are not going to be part of the Shishkov Fan Club Jam Band?
diablo175 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Wait. Does that mean you are not going to be part of the Shishkov Fan Club Jam Band? There's certainly that possibility, especially considering I am unaware of any such band It's wait and see. Hopefully, my band will stay together long enough to validate ordering a Shishkov. If not, I will be scrambling to devise another reason to order one. Sadly, this might involve selling off a number of the current herd. In this market, that's enough to make any seller cry.
diablo175 Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 ... Can you mod them back to blade switches? No. Next question?
Hamer Dave Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 Appreciate the updates, and keeping us current during this exciting time.
Northfield Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 Ultimate necks are in the works! 40 blanks are rough cut and resting comfortably. I want to make sure they have as much time as possible to acclimate. I could use pre-slotted fingerboards, but I prefer to slot them myself to make sure they are perfect. There has been a lot of time spent getting things set up, but the sawdust is flying now. I am very excited about partnering with Josh on the custom pickups - they are going to rock! More to come soon!
Sugartune Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Thank you Mike! Love to see the progress and it's looking very good!Still trying to figure out how to get my Ultimate in the house. Haven't shared the news with wifey yet. So, love the updates, but they are also reminders that I have to figure that out. Ha!Happy Labour Day Weekend (Labor, for you Yanks).
Jakeboy Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Wow...and ebony is a board option fir the Ultimates, correct?
Northfield Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 Wow...and ebony is a board option fir the Ultimates, correct?Yup.
Jakeboy Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I love streaked rosewood.I love streaked and figured rosewood too...very much. But I have never had a guitar with an ebony board, so the Ultimate will have it.
kizanski Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 ..to make sure they are perfect.That's all I needed to see.
veatch Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I think I see mine in there...Ok, not really, but this is all kinds of cool.
velorush Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Dibs on that one on top, please! That's beautiful!
atomicwash Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I am SO bummed I missed out on the initial order. Sugartune, Let me know if you can't get your Ultimate in the house. I will pay top dollar just so you can sleep at night!Dan
Sugartune Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Ha! Good to know, but that's probably not an option I'm willing to exercise. I'll make it work.
Boomerang~Junkie Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I can truly feel this is going to be a . . . . . .
