What's been going on in the shop - next chapter

Only one problem with the new cases, and maybe I'm not seeing it.  Where does it say Shishkov U.S.A ? 

[cmatthes]

It doesn't.

[Biz Prof]

I hear that instead of having "Shishkov USA" screened on the case exteriors, Mike is providing a "Peavey Powered" sticker as a theft-deterrent.

No lie -- I put a peavey powered sticker on my Boogie roadcase to deter theft.

Just because I'm a little slow on the uptake, who's guitar is this?

Damn...

[cmatthes]

Amazing, isn't it?  People are going to love these - the prototypes were a joy to play.  

 

I really didn't want to give them back!

[gorch]

Seems not planned to have a bridge. 

[veatch]

Ready for a wraptail, it appears? Good choice.  The posts for the bridge are the last thing to put in, if I recall.

These maple tops are insane! My personal taste is a stick of Mahogany with Pickups on it. 

[Northfield]

nothing like a little oil to make these tops pop.

Un-effing believable.  That wood work on the back is in some ways even  more stunning than the grain on the tops.  Some mad George Nakashima skills here.

[PaGator]

Stunning 

[DBraz]

Loving that sculpting.

I CANNOT CONTAIN MYSELF!!! I can't wait to get mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderfu!

[hamerhead]

I gotta say - Mike's doublecut is quickly becoming my favorite shape of all time. There isn't a proportion or curve out of place anywhere. Simply gorgeous instruments.

Yes, me too. Nub-less are a little kinder to those of us in the repair world...(but, the nubs do look really cool)

[Northfield]

Ready for the spray booth.  

[cmatthes]

This is the coolest story ever.

[DBraz]

That is outstanding.

Bring on the Mavericks! I like the headstock binding, yeah!
