Hi all,
I did a quick search and I couldn't find anything so far that covers Shishkov guitars - so I though I would stick a post on.
Mike Shishkov makes amazing instruments, and is a lovely bloke. He was one of the key group of Hamer USA craftsmen over the years, and has been out on his own for a few years now.
His first run was limited to 25 "Ultimate" models - which had to be extended to 50 due to demand. During that time he has developed a couple of other styles - a single and double cutaway setneck archtop solid electrics and open to totally unique work for customers.
I would very much like to support and promote his work and business, as he's offering something that has a lot of appeal.
Here is his site:
http://www.shishkovguitars.com/ Over at the Hamer Fan Club Forum (HFC) (
http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums)
...we have a section dedicated to what Mikes working on and work in progress (also on facebook and instagram).
http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/forum/10-shishkov-guitarsPickups are often from Josh Gravlin
http://www.gravelinpickups.comI'd encourage you to check him and his work out and enquire about quote if you are in the market for something special.
... oh yeah - he's also Yuriy Shishkovs brother...
Cheers all, and hope you find this interesting!
Ben.

Mike Shishkov, and Team Shishkov are amazing people and Mike's skills are out of this world. I played all of the prototypes in his front room and every one is a winner. His wood stash alone would get PRS excited.
