All the wear marks have to be darkened. It looks too new. If you look at Pearly Gates Burst in the Beauty of the Burst that dark color is what I am after.

All I can say Is Sustain for Days. It actually is really hard to get used to all that sustain. I have to play different and muffle the strings with my palm. Smells like Nitro for sure. Workmanship is incredible. Finish and binding done to the T. The only complaint is the nut and the Bridge turned backwords. Was definitely worth the wait. Thank you Guys at ShamRay, Maxim and crew. The guitar has a really woody tone like my real 52 and 59. Growls and Bites. And of course Michael for all your hard work and Patience.

Nut looks like it has a black spacer under it or a ink line around the base, also not cut deep enough. Very sharp edge, not cleaned up and is rough. Glue job not tight. In another words, if you put so much care into everything else why skimp on the nut. It's not Mammoth, just bone. The guitar is intonated perfect but the screw side is on the tailpiece side not forward toward the pickup. I am having a new nut made tomorrow by my Lutheir. He polishes them to a T. Don't get me wrong the guitar plays and sound great, but needs a few tweeks, like they all do.

Anyone who questions the ability to match the body carve from Maxim is out of his or her mind. That is my 52 and the ShamRay 59 replica. Notice the top carve supurb.

Sorry, I'm empty for issues after hanging around here for a while! What a nice guitar, congrats, Steven!. Too bad about those last sloppy details on the nut etc. I had few of those on CS-0313 too, unfortunately. It's puzzling, seeing how much care that went into the rest.

I have a sentimental attachment to my '59 MM (single-cut, sunburst, 3/4-scale) because its virtually identical to the first Gibson that passed through my hands about 30 years ago.

But in addition to that, i love having it around the house to bang on, because its SO LOUD acoustically. I played it at my last gig, and the tone was excellent, real woody!

I did take the original pup and pickguard off, and put them away for safekeeping. Its got a Kinman HX-85 in it now - neccessary so i can actually record with it, since my living room is getting so crowded with my wife's drums that i have to sit in very close proximity to the computer when recording...


BTW, i can SEE the gold in your 52 now... probably i just saw it yellow before because "we see what we want to see..." :-)

Michael, I reversed the bridge and saddles, intonated, new strings and presto an even more amazing guitar. I wonder if CS1959 will age and sound even better in 50 just like the Gibbo's I put Chapstick under the string guides on the nut as well as the saddles no sticking when tuning. The guitar plays better by the Day. I will eventually with put the Wooly Mammoth nut on.

Steve - I checked with our completing guy, and that IS a mammoth nut that we gave you!
We dont HAVE any other kind of bone in our shop... the only natural material we have for making nuts out of is two big (half a meter long) tusk-tips of 20,000 year old mammoth ivory.

All other nuts are either Graphtech or Delrin!

It's probably a more white colored piece than I am used to. Sounds great any way. I like the more traditional rounded off look. The way it plays I might not touch it.

Update, I have been playing the Hurricane every gig and has not let me down. Great feel to the neck and Woody tone. Now the Nitro is drying and shrinking it sounds better every week. Still reeks of the fumes of Nitro. Love the shit out of this guitar.
