Oh shiit, I've just been 5 days in the army when it's sent... Was kind of hoping it would ship before I have to go and don't know when I'll have my next leave...
BTW, don't the crafters holidays start on July 10th???

One of these days we will have a database linking crafters to all the guitars they have built, but thats still way in the future! I think its very time-consuming for Shamray to try to track you down all the links manually!

but try this google search:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=bashmakov+site%3Amusicforums.ru

(5 pages of results there...)

Woohoo, got the first look... So excited about this guitar right now, just look at that wonderful piece of Sapele...
I'm even more excited about this guitar than I am over the fact that I graduate from upper secondary school tomorrow with the highest matriculation exam score in my school...
Oh god, now I'm hyper ventilating...

looks amazing ;)... i can only imagine how it will sound...imo neck-through construction is a very good improvement of gibson models....with this headstock it will be more perfect due to straight-string-pull, not to mention that it will look more original (better ;) )...

congrats on it, dude

Thanks for your kind words, Goran... I'm 110% sure that it will sound better than I could ever imagine in my wildest dreams ;-)
I chose the PRS-headstock just to get that "almost" straight string pull. And IMHO it looks SO much better than the Gibson whiskers...

Hej pa dig Goran, ar du svenska eller norska?
Vai jopa suomalainen???

imo straight-string-pull is a god way towards a perfect guitar design (3+3 headstock too!)
