Thanks, Kota! I wanted to combine picking up the guitar with summer holidays (instead of picking it up in cold Moscow during the winter some time), and this way I get a short delivery estimate!  Anyway, black cherry was one of my favorites before I started to think about the silverburst. And yeah, I decided that trem was the way to go, therefore I could base it on the orphan! I'll post the picks I have received from Michael this evening. |

Ok, this project got a flying start. As you know, the body is the "orphan" after the DAP Custom (cs 1970), so what is left is just making/attaching neck, finishing and setting up the guitar. Thanks to Michael and Sushkov for getting this off so quickly. The pics I've gotten so far: |

Thanks, you're own project is awesome too. I'm going to get a LP from here sometime too, but I decided PRS'ish was the best way to go for my first quality guitar, as it's more versatile. Maple neck sounds nice, headstock? Hm... well, the body shape has some resemblances to the strat body, so...

I kind of like the PRS headstock on prs-ish guitars. The Fender headstock on one? ...Hmmm, I don't know. But, that's the great thing about Shamray. You want it, you GET it! | |

It's a normal 5-way switch with some more poles, ie options. I think it's like this: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electronics,_pickups/Components:_Switches_and_knobs/Super_Switch.html |

Yes, I will soon call it "The Orphanage"  It surely is going to be one hell of a guitar, though I can't wait to have it in my hands. I'm going to Moscow to pick it up and have a week of vacation, but I'm sure I'll just want to go home, so that I can play this beauty

That's very good work! Thanks for the nice 24. fret inlay. I am very impressed by how the headstock "binding" appeared. I was not sure about this detail, as I haven't seen a faux binding on the headstock veneer before, but this was really stunning. All in all I am very pleased about how this turns out. About the finish, how does the images come up to the real thing? It looks really nice. |

The 5 way super-switch is still "on the way" - as are your new Grover locking machine heads. (See 06/24 spec update - page 3 of this thread) Hopefully, they shall arrive in a week or so! |

ok....sometimes i play with those 2-points, and other times with those trems with 6 screws...do you know what i mean? and what i noticed is that those "6screw-trems" have the tendency to squeek more than those 2points. is that logical? |

Well, oil it, then. I don't really see how the pivot points can squeak with the kind of pressure that's on them, but it won't be heard through the amp anyway, right?

Lars, I gotta tell you I live an hour away from the PRS plant and have even played the first guitar Paul has built,to the best private stock, you are going to be really happy you didn't buy one on ebay. They haven't hand built a guitar since the eighties. All C&C machines. Smoke, sweat and all the things that go on in the shop help the tone of guitars. hope it growls. | |

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 |

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! Lars Erik |

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

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. |

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.) |
