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?
Автор: Michael Walker
Тема: Re: CS 1978 - Shamray Custom Shop 'GORAN DRAGONBUZZARD” for Goran Rapajic (Sweden)
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')

gitara je kao zena. mozes da je gledas i gledas i gledas ... , ali dok je ne uzmes u ruke na znas kakva je.
a ova "zena" ostavlja bas dobar utisak.
izgleda zrelo, kao da zna sta i kako treba da radi
i izgleda kao da može mnogo toga da pruzi.
ala kenjam.

I live in Lund, studying at the University. Got a couple of years left and then we'll see where I end up Did you actually get all 3 guitars at once? Which one is the current favourite then?

to make it short:
features: 10
sound: 10
action, fit & finish 10
customer support: 10
overall rating: 10
i tried to find one single misstake on this guitar but i just failed...this guitar sounds like a dream (10 distinctive tones!) and is perfect...despite the way it looks it is comfortable to play...
amazing craftmanship-no words...
the best guitar i played so far was the warmoth stratocaster but this guitar beats it in all ways...
once again thanx pashin vadin for making this guitar, michael walker for refining the body design from roger and designing the headstock (the most beautifull headstock in the world to me) and alexandr shamray for opening the custom shop...
i am proud to own this guitar...
i wish you all guys the best

Odd shape! Who designed this guitar and this "crazy" headstock? Very original.

The "Dragon Buzzard" body design is actually the brainchild of a guy in England named ROGER SMITH (he intended it for a bass, as a kind of 'tribute' to John Entwistle). He asked for help when he was still just roughing out the lines on a 'napkin sketch', so what you see on Goran's guitar is what eventually evolved into 'my' version of Roger's body design (slightly different from what he eventually had his own bass built as!).
(Roger's original sketch!)
The headstock is my own original design, which was intended to complement the 'Dragon Buzzard' body shape.
Its actually just a slight variant of my earlier "P-01" headstock shape. (see http://shamraybass.com/gallery.htm#1)
We have made a number of "Dragon Buzzard" basses, most notably the "P-05" 8-string prototype (which now lives in Florida!)
See http://shamraybass.com/gallery.htm#5 ...
BTW, we have an "orphan" Dragon buzzard bass (made for display at this years trade show) which will be going up for sale SOON...
