Àâòîð Òåìà: The Seven Deadly Strings
Âðåìÿ: 31.10.2005 00:27 



Congratulations Goran, on the birth of your THIRD new Shamray Custom Shop instrument (serial number CS 1980)!

We will post pictures of it's construction-in-progress from time to time here in this thread.

For the curious, here are the specs on CS 1980:

7-string Sushkov ORPHAN with futuristic styling (the guitar formerly known as CS-0100)

Maple/mahogany 5-piece set neck.
Russian Swamp Ash Body
Rosewood fretboard with elaborate "tribal" inlays
7-string Floyd, all black schaller hardware.
Custom wound Duncan Custom Shop 7-string humbuckers (hand-made by Seymour himself!)

Special "faux-rosewood" art finish under nitro lacquer (Entire guitar painted to match fretboard!)

It was more than halfway built when the client had a cash crisis (not an uncommon situation for a musician...)

Hi goran good night :)

Yes Sushkov was the assigned crafter to my guitar also :D from
the work i have seen from him he leaves me all crazy to see the
guitar in the progress hehe. He is really a gifted master of
masters in guitar craftmanship.

And all of your 3 guitars look so great. When u get them played
and recorded let me know :D really want to check your sound if
u have a band.

this guitar is so organic and it feels incredibly good to play....very ergonomic...there is something special about the neck...it feels so alive...hard to explain that...it's one of those "impossible-to-explain" feelings ;) ...
this is definitely one of the best 7 stringers in the world ....

all ratings: 10

and the oscar goes to: :)

dmitri sushkov (performance)
michael walker (stunts)
aleksander stepanov (producer assistant)
aleksandr shamray (producer)

they made this guitar possible ;)

Nice! How does those "gearless" tuners work? I'd guess you'd gave to be a bodybuilder to be able to turn them, but I sort of trust that Iæm wrong about that. ;-)

goran



actually they are very comfortable to use but since the strings are locked i don't use tuners so much (only when i change the string(s))...
i choosed those tuners only because they would suit this headstock better then any other tuners...
you can read more about them in following links:

how they "work" is a bit deceiving :-)

the string doesnt ROTATE around the post, rather you pull it though taut, and CLAMP it into the post with the top knob (which locks it into place).

Then you just tighten the bottom knob, which draws the string DOWN into the headstock, creating more tension on the string and tightening it to pitch.
