Incidentally, CS-1973 will be joining CS-0045 in Patrick's Custom Shamray arsenal  :)
Patrick has the distinction of being the first Shamray artist to order his second guitar before the first is even completed!

Wait a minute Michael. Didn't u order your dobro before your korina futura guitar was finished or did u order them both at the same time?

Well... the Dobro was ordered a LONG while back (probably about the same time as the Futura), but anyway the Futura isnt my first Shamray, its my 5th and the Dobro is my 6th. (The upcoming Creation OV-12 will be my 7th...)

(And really, if you include my three ShamrayBass prototypes, then the Futura actually would be my EIGHTH Shamray instrument since i discovered the shop in 2002)

Nice to see that there is other people that are as crazy as me (hmm, crazier maybe, you ordered it before the first was completed).

Good luck with it!

"report" as in "tell me what you think", and not whether or not you've gotten it, that is. :-/

i can tell you that it hasnt been completed yet! unfortunately when we were getting set to complete this guitar, we discovered that we had received a LEFTY set of machine heads by mistake - so we are currently waiting for the proper 'righty' set to arrive ( I had to order them in from USA, none are available in Moscow at the moment...) :sweat:

Oh, that's too bad. Hey, Patrick. You'll have to manage with only the silverburst a bit longer. ;-) (Come to think of it, that's not really THAT bad.) ;-)

Yeah just a minor setback nothing to keep me from sleeping ;). It will all be ok in the end i have the proof in a SKB case under my bed :lol:.
And allthough the silverburst is my main weapon of destruction right now i have several other guitars so never a dull moment really :).

Boohoo I want pretty pictures 2 :sweat:!
That rymes :lol: lol
@ orpheo If you know what you want i assure you you wont go wrong at shamray. You wont have the bad luck of having a bad or average sounding piece of tonewood here simply coz wood like that wont be selected by the crafters. Now with productions guitars there is always woods like that that end up in some ( or lots ) of their guitars so basicly youd have to play lots to be sure you got a great sounding one. Which sucks coz you will find that the red strat sounds lots better then the black strat you actualy wanted to buy for instance... well thats my experience anyway! lol.  Ad the love and cared and great craftmenship and all you have to know is the tone your after and youll get it.
To sum it all up , i like all of my guitars just none of them can match its tone and playability thats why i am eagerly awaiting cs1973 to "replace" my workhorse strat ;)
