jco5055 Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Hey guys! I've been following Mike's work for a few years now, but have been holding out on ordering until I get to try one myself. I lived in Chicago from 2013 up until last August, and had no luck there, but I moved to NYC (Manhattan specifically) in August, so I was wondering if there are any Shishkov owners here in the NYC area? As long as there's a bus/subway/some kind of transportation I have no issues going out to Long Island or NJ or CT etc. Thanks!
kizanski Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Just get your deposit in. Time wasted waiting to try one out could be better served waiting in the queue for your guitar to get made. Not being a wise-ass, just giving you truth.
cmatthes Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 There are a few Shishkov owners in the Chicago area, most are on this board. There is one I know of on Long Island, but he’s a touring/working musician, and brings his Shishkov and Hamers out on tour regularly. I’ll check to see if there are any other owners near you, as Mike doesn’t work with dealers - he builds directly for his customers, which helps keep end costs down.

Who knows, for personal reasons I've wanted to visit DC again for a bit, so if I'm ever down there (only 3hr Amtrak) I'll even let you know 😀

django49 Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Yes----If you can get into the queue, you can sort out the details with Mike later. Just had mine out last night for a jazz/jam class. We ran from Horace Silver to CCR to Tom Waits to flat out screaming blues. I swear that guitar can do anything.....Even if I am not worthy.
