I guess you're on the plane now, Lars Erik. Have a nice trip/holiday! Don't over-do the Vodka. ;-)

Your guitar looks extremely good, btw!

Nice. I guess those images were taken before I the other ones I got by mail (considering the black pickup bezels)?

Anyway I am actually in Moscow now, writing from the internet c@fe of the Gamma-Delta Hotel :-) Can I expect a guided tour in the custom shop some day? ;) It is very nice weather here (Norwegians always talk about the weather, so must I), but we haven`t explored anything yet. Going to this market and the park today. Of course the park is so insanely vast that we will just get to a small corner of it...

He is at Ismailova park (much nicer than Gorky, whihc is just a little thing)

Yes those are older pics, the guitar has creme bezels now (and STRINGS, too!) 

I will be at the shop tommorrow afternoon if you want to drop by for a visit (if you think you will have time in the afternoon, you should call me at home tomorrow morning, so i can make sure i get there in time...)

Ok, went to have a look at the guitar yesterday, and it looks even more beautiful than I imagined. And the best guitar I ever played. Of course, this was just a small taste, as there were so many people around hearing... the tunes were nice, and Sushkov gave me a demo too, of how it plays when in the hands of someone who actually knows how to play. Can`t wait till I get this guitar home on Saturday :) And the custom shop was nice too. I saw a lot of projects... The Tanswell bats looked gorgeous, of course. And the Icefly too! And Kota is up for a treat!

Have to go for a visit to the Kremlin now.

Ok, thanks. I`ll check that out, maybe today even though it`s raining.

If you know any good Russian metal bands, please let me know (everything from Metallica/Megadeth to Kreator, Slayer etc etc. Opeth-like things are also interesting...)

It's home, alright! Went through the airports and customs like a charm (although it _was_ a hell at the Moscow airport, but just because of the endless queues and us picking the wrong queues at some stages).

The guitar is looking good apart from a small "birthmark" it already had. I haven't tested it yet, as I have to get my senses right!

Now I had to try it tonight as well, and there are so many things, tonal nuances and things that shine through in the sounds of this guitar than the others I have tested. Had to stop because of those damned neighbours, but will continue exploring tomorrow! Cheers!

Yep, I'm pondering it :-) I was really impressed by the CS-0079 (Stein's), which incidentally is in my custody... (I just tried it in the customshop, though). So who knows, maybe a strat is up next :)

Shhh! Don't encourage him, or I might show up on your doorstep "inbetween days" (ie. 4 AM tonight or something) to get it. I must try to manage until wednesday, methinks! We're moving these days, you know, and with that, work and everything else happening, there's more than enough to fill my days. ;-)

Oh, we dropped the pull pots and just went for the 5-way 4-pole megasuperduperswitch, which gives me bridge/neck, bridge, neck, out-of-phase and split parallell or something (funky). :) I like the simplicity and versatility of this setup.

Good luck with your project, Göran :)

FYI, I have written a small review over at H-C:

Please keep in mind that I am a very inexperienced (and über-terrible) playe,r but I have tried to write an honest and informative review for one on my level.

Setup is a tricky thing specialy since the guitar is moving to another enviroment setup can change because of that. ( working of the wood ).
I never had to do a thing to my stock fenders and esps but with cs0045 i had to raise the bridge some and adjust the trusrod for a couple times before the guitar set in. It is now perfect though. Cs1973 also got some changes in set up once it got here and is now my favorite guitar of all time. What i learned is that with handbuild instruments it takes some adjusting till all has settled in but once it does its really great. Having said that the ding you found shouldnt have happend and the screws on that cover i feel the same about same goes for the nut job.
I think its really a pitty someone else but the actual crafter is responsible for installing pickups bridges and such seems like he has made some booboos here and there... which is a shame.
That problem has been recognised and quality control has been tightend i been assured. But that dont help you much which is a shame.
Good thing in end is to hear the sound of the guitar is good ! Set up can be changed sound cant lol. But i agree some of the things you put in review shouldnt have happend.

Moscow
RGA Prestige

The final setup and details seem to be the Shamray weak-point :(
It really is frustrating, and a shame -- all it takes is a little extra time and attention to detail to correct this recurring problem. These custom hand-made guitars deserve that extra TLC to elevate them to their potential, not to mention to inspire customer confidence and satisfaction.
Please, Shamray, your guitars deserve it!

Patrick: Yep, I'm aware that guitars will have to be adjusted, and especially handbuilt ones. Therefore I was prepared to adjust action, trussrod and re-intonate, and I have done so now, making it nearly perfect setup-wise. Fortunately the nut isn't a big problem so far, but if I start using the trem more often I'll have to get one of the slots filed a bit wider.

And lennart, even if the finishing/setup process seems imperfect (mediocre) here, rest assured that this is not a mediocre instrument! These imperfections of the guitar are not really an everyday concern for me now - I have even made a couple of dings on my own since I got it - but it is the superb craftmanship of the guitar as a whole (wood/finish etc) that make those last issues, which could have been avoided with less than an hour of work, such a shame. I think we all agree on that point.

I still would get myself a second (and third!) Shamray. (Just to put things in perspective.)
