gorch Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Mike's getting this run locked down and out the door first, but I'm sure we'll be seeing some cool new stuff later on this year! Until then... Man, that's a freakin' like collector. I want to see more of them.
Jakeboy Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Chris your Ultimate is so pretty, each shot seems to give it a different color! I assume that is Bethany Beach?
hamerhead Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Chris your Ultimate is so pretty, each shot seems to give it a different color!Yeah - so far every pic is different. That's just way too cool.Is the 'waist' narrower on the Ultimate (compared to a Standard)? It almost looks as if someone grabbed both points and pulled. Not much, but enough that it looks.......different. In a good way, like it's a slimmer, trimmer Standard.
mirrorimij Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Had to do a quick solo beach trip today, so took a Shishkov along for the ride... That could be the cover of the catalog.
Steve Haynie Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Put little stickers of fish on that deep blue finish and you have a winner!
Steve Haynie Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 That is a beautiful guitar, but now it really makes that play it & ding it vs. babying it thread a little more interesting. Play it.
mc2 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Had to do a quick solo beach trip today, so took a Shishkov along for the ride... Did it float ?
RobB Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Just for comparisons sake: I like the upper horn shape on the Ultimate. It blends in well with contours of the body as compared to a Standard/Explorer/whatever...
tmsfo Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Had to do a quick solo beach trip today, so took a Shishkov along for the ride... Did it float ? She's a witch!!!
DBraz Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 What an awesome thread. How long will it be before the Shishkov thread gets equal viewing or exceeds that of the regular old HFC sections? Not long I guess as it's still my first stop on the HFC!
Steve Haynie Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 It would be nice to see the outline of the Ultimate on top of the outline of the Standard. If that waste is a little more narrow, that is cool. The shape of the Hamer Rick Nielsen model looked too radical for some people, but it was more comfortable to play when sitting down. So, do the Ultimates feel different enough to notice when sitting while playing?

It almost looks as if someone grabbed both points and pulled. Not much, but enough that it looks.......different. In a good way, like it's a slimmer, trimmer Standard. agree.. looking at the comparison pic the waist appears a tiny bit more narrow.. or perhaps it's just a bit more sharp and tight in the angle of the waist which makes for the trimmer look. definitely not the same look if I cinch up my belt a notch or 2. in any case, that is one cool Ultimate. (like all of them!!!)
RobB Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 The camera can lie, too. Chris' example has a bit more back-tilt than my black Standard. The Shishvov's waist does look a bit slimmer, as does the lower horn. Nice, original take while maintaining "traditional" vibe.
Biz Prof Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Had to do a quick solo beach trip today, so took a Shishkov along for the ride... Oh, my. I think I'd like mine to be bound and crowned, and to have that top, but in emerald green.
cmatthes Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Serial's been doing a lot of work travel lately, but has a gig this weekend - there are usually a few talented shutterbugs at those, so I'm sure pics will be forthcoming in the next week or so. Also, a little birdie may have mentioned that a few more Ultimates are leaving the nest early this week (if they haven't already), so we'll be seeing a few more soon.

The Shark Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 0006 should be soon....li hope!There'll be forty of us in line behind you that will "luxuriate" in your good fortune.
Pieman Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I have really missed the "T'was a good day for xyz" threads since the Hamer shop folded.Maybe somebody could separate the special run guitars (and those that will follow) and post them individually(with serial numbers) so we can appreciate each one as they are birthed. I am somewhat relieved I never bonded with the shape of the Standard. I don't feel envious on missing out and I'm glad the lucky ones got theirs. Congrats all around.

Greg owns "T'was a good day for...". Just sayin'.
serial Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Then perhaps we should create something new for Shishkov unveilings...
