Very cool. So the top has been joined to the body at this point, correct?
Look at the flame. That top is going to be gorgeous!

yep, the (magnificent!) top has been joined... the neck will be set after the top carving is completed (probably in a week or so)

I show these pics to my pals here in the States, the same comments keep coming up.
The most impresive thing, besides the top itself, is the pile of shavings and the hand plane next to it.
Someone's (Pavel's?) hand is making that top, not a CNC mill.
That's what's awesome about this project.

This is just about the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen. If it were mine I wouldn't dare play it out of fear of soiling the purity of the workmanship.

It's really looking kick-ass. I can't believe that in a couple of weeks I'll be holding it in my hands!! Unreal finish, color from the photos looks amazing, I keep saying that in our emails but it's really something to see. Can't wait to see it with all the hardware and the headstock done, too!!

That is quite possibly the nicest burst finish I've ever seen on anything. Congratulations on such a completely gorgeous guitar:)

Whooo, boy, you guys are GOOD!! Mr's Shamray and Basmakov,
you guys are masters!!
That's a truly beautiful instrument, I'm telling you I can't wait to
plug that baby in!! What are you guys playing it through? What
kind of tone are you getting? Did we ever check the weight on
it? ???CURIOSITY!!
Ship date? Ideas?

Our scale is broken, so we dont know the weight exactly. Subjectively, it feels fairly light.
We've been playing it through the shop amps, a fender and some other one (i forget the name of it, red devil or something). In a perfect world, i'd get a chance to take it home and give it the final playtest through a Marshall JCM-800 and MesaBoogie. But i dont think we have the SKB case for it yet, so its not leaving the shop!
Everything here is a mass of confusion - thanks to the recent wave of terrorism, businesses (and most other aspects of peoples lives) have been disrupted badly. Last week Shamray's "new engine" blew up in his Lada, and thanks to all the "days of mourning" he is apparently having trouble getting a replacement lined up for it. That will have an impact on our shipping schedule - thanks to Draconian changes at Russian Customs (they now have to xray EVERYTHING that goes anywhere by courier to make sure its not terrorists bombs!) we have been restricted to shipping only 2 guitars a week, and thanks in part to Shamray's transport woes we missed the shipment on the two guitars that were supposed to go out LAST week.
According to my notes from 2 weeks ago, yours was 6th in line in the shipping schedule then. So i guess we shall be able to ship it out the week of sept 20-24, unless there is a delay in completion of one of the guitars that is listed ahead of it, in that case it might be bumped up to the week of sept 13-17. I hope to have an updated shipping schedule by the end of THIS week....
