I think this is really cool. A genuine Shamray design (or should that be Michael Walker Design?) guitar instead of another replica. Congrats on it! | |

Well - 'ALMOST'! We have built 4 "dragon-buzzards" in the past couple of years, but the only 'original' thing I 'designed' on this was the HEADSTOCK. The body is actually based on an idea by Roger Smith! (I just refined it a little...) Roger took his inspiration from John Entwistle's own (highly original) BUZZARD design... you can see Roger's original napkin sketch below: |

And Roger Smith is a designer at TVR? (I assume that's the reason for linking there?) How come he drew this guitar? Has it been produced by other manufacturers than Shamray? | |

Yes, Roger works over at TVR. (in engineering, actually) He drew the design for his custom Alembic (which he ordered about 3 years ago, before i was taking orders for Shamray) I originally got involved because i was helping him digitize his favorite Rickenbacker neck to a CAD file (so he wouldn't have to ship the whole instrument to California, for Alembic to copy!) |

You've worked with CMM's/3D scanners as well? Is there any job you haven't had?  I'm a mechanical engineer/CAD designer as well, btw. |

Stepanov called me yesterday - i asked him about this guitar and he said they have the neck-wood, and work is underway. I'm told the Khaya/Maccassar neck lams are completed already Strap locks are certainly possible, but there could be a couple weeks delay if we have to order some in - there are none available here in Moscow. (I might have a set of chrome ones in my own personal stock, but i wont know till next week when i get back from my 'vacation') |

nice figuring on the khaya neck-laminates... i guess this will look amazing under lacquer, together with ribbon figure of the body-wood... |
