Yes. It's maple. Simply not flamed. Little question: Why you want opaque black body back? Polished body back with satin set-neck is not possible, but satin transparent finish of body back will looks really much better then black! PS. here not works bb-tags like [img], only real html like <img src='link'>. Tonight i will add smileys page to this board. |

Thanks master Sushkov, I have selected the satin neck finish to obtainable a very natural feeling like raw wood. Will satin transparent finish of body back not looks very bright with no contrast to the gold/redburst? Are black body outsides with a transparent body back possible? One complete other thing: can I change the front of the haedstock finish from LPCustom style - MOP "split diamond" to a black one with "Les Girl" and "Girlson" in Gibson style letters in gold? (like "Les Paul" and "Gibson" ons Les Paul standards Headstock) Christophe |

Master Sushkov, thank you for the pics! I think Michael has informed you about the back finish: satin transparent finish of body back will be fine. Thank you for your recommendation! Please also keep in mind the headstock logo change. Did you have done the class 5 tone chambers (for weight reduction)? I can't see chambers on the pics.... Or was it not necessary because the woods are very light? |

Yes, the woods are very light. And i think body without this chumbers will sounds better. Weight difference is about 200 gr. If it's necessary for you, I can reinstall top and drill this holes. It's not big problem, simply I was thinking about sound of your guitar. | |

Alright, I see your intuition was perfect! Thank you! Of course, the sound of the guitar has first priority and 200gr. are no great difference. I'm not really a great logo art designer but I've done a layout sample for the headstock. What do you think about the "Girlson" logo? Should it be in MOP instead gold? |

All those old gibsons you see like that are actually white MOP, with yellowed lacquer over it (that gives the 'gold pearl' effect over time...) BTW, I just got a shipment of shell from overseas, so we have have gold, white, ivory, orange, black and some very nice PINK pearl now

Yeah, I sort of gathered... Cool idea, to use trucker's mudflap chrome girls as inlays. A little Hetfield-ish, if you ask me. I must admit that I think "Girlson Les Girl" is a bit "tongue-in-cheek", though. Not my first choice, but of course, it's not my guitar either.

I like the "strat" gut contour as well. I thought about speccing that on an LP once. I guess I'll be following your guitar's progress to see how it turns out. I bet it'll be one killer axe! | |

Thank you master Sushkov for the pic! @ Mr. Stein Andersen: You are right,"Girlson Les Girl" is a bit "tongue-in-cheek" but girl is the theme.. before I was thinking about a non logo headstock, since no company donate me a endorsment deal But now I think a little "ass kick" to Gibson would be funny. I'm sure, the "strat" rips cutout would be very comfortable to play the guitar in sedentary positions. @ Patrick: Is Tommy Lee one of the Motley Crue guys? BTW: the girl inlay samples on the specs. are taken of my Jackson custom shop guitar. Build by Tim Wilson of Jackson. This is the same guy who has done the custom guitars for Joey Z. of LOA. I d'like LOA very much, especial the first two albums. |

STATUS UPDATE: Its coming along NICELY. but Sushkov is concerned that standard trapezoid inlays will be too large, and visually "overpower" the girls. We laid some perloid ones on the fretboard, and took pics so you could have a look... (also, check yer email for pics later) |

More girls !!! Looks like he has a point to me. Just good old dots wouldnt look to bad or go all feminen and have them female signs ( the circels with the cross on the bottom ) to go between the chick inlays then it will be totaly girly

hmmm... i'm thinking - maybe it needs "hollow" trapezoids instead? (like the ones we made for CS-0074) They would still be trapezoids - but "lighter"... |

Yes, Sushkov is right! The trapezoid inlays would overpower the girls. Thanks to reconsider this! I think "hollow" trapezoids are still to heavy... simple dots to dry. I created a new idea for the inlays. My first choice would be with stars. I think it's adequate for this glamour- girl-guitar

Thank you Hill! Your CS1954 looks also very nice! I like the P90 pickups. What kind of P90 are this? I've the brainchild for the sparkleburst long time ago. Since I was at a Billy Idol concert last year and Steve Stevens was playing such a sparkleburst Les Paul it was clear for me: I d'like to own a sparkleburst paula... Unfortunately I don't playing in a band at the moment... last band was Kingsize for about 8 years. I hope to find peoples for a new rock band soon. In the meantime I'm working alone on some songs in my little studio. Of course, I hope too the guitar has a awesome tone. Since master Sushkov have done such a perfect job, I'm sure that it will plays very nice. I think about to post some sound samples when the guitar is here. |

they are 50's and 60's P90's with 50's black covers from a special. I saw Billy in Washinton D.C. a couple of years ago, Stevens is a really clean player. | |

Yes, I know this thread. Thank you anyway! In a short time should be the Bare Knuckle "Rebel Yell" Steve Stevens signature humbucker set available. May be an idea to check for the future.. I never had the possibility to check any Bare Knuckle pickup. For me are the Tom Holmes pickups the best HB which I know. I'm very curious to check the Chernishev clones

Thank you Paulo for the kindly words! I think if we have the chance to get a really custom shop guitar, it should be something different from what you can find on the regular market... Your Paulo custom is also a very outstanding example for such a custom guitar! I like this unconventional shape very well! All the best, Christophe |

CS-1975 review: INTERODUCTION: I've played many hours since I have my Shamray custom guitar received three days ago. I like to write this review so objective as possible... SOUND: 10/10 First I've played without amps: the sound is very(!) loud and there are always many of good vibrations palpable. The construction is thus absolutely resonant which is a good sign for a nice tone. There is very loooooong sustain available. I played through my three different amps (modified Marshall JCM900 Model2500, modified Laney AOR50 II, custom made by my self 5Watt full tube amp) with different settings and speakers. With clean settings is the sound bright but never harsh. There is always something of warm tone inside. The mids are well balanced and the bass is very tight and precise. No muddy bass tone with the neck pickup. The tone and volume potis and both pickups offer a really wide choice of different colors. This babe can produce nice funky sounds or fat warm blues tones. The Chernishev pickups are absolutely nice! They don't compress the tone, are very transparent and offer a comfortable dynamic. And now crunch / distortion settings: I can very smooth control the crunch by using the volume pots or decreasing of the pick attack. Chords are also with high gain very transparent and have nice balls leads comes very assertive. Pinch harmonic notes are very ease.. THIS SHAMRAY ROCKS!!! FINISH / BUILD / SETUP: 9,9/10 The finish is absolutely like I asked for and the quality is really top. I have specified the weight of the complete guitar to max. 4kg. The weight is now 3,950Kg (!!) --> perfect! It was specified a gold toggle switch with black tip and a custom made case. Now is the toggle switch chrome with a white tip and the case is a standard SKB. No problem for me, only to show that I have checked all details. There are few very small nicks and color irritations here and there, only visible from up close. On the top side of the body binding is a on a small area red color blurred. However, absolutely nothing dramatically and I think some tolerance for a 100% hand made piece should be alright... The overall finish is on high quality level. Set up as you'd expect from a custom guitar company: PERFECT! Frets properly set, nut perfect notched, action and intonation are great too. Btw. I never had such a tune stable Les Paul in my hands! Master Sushkov did an excellent job and was really helpful with good ideas during the building process. MY DEEPEST THANKS TO SUSHKOV FOR THIS EXCELLENT WORK!!! SHOP CONTACT: 10/10 All the contact service was always there when i needed it to be and answering to all of my questions and problems. Michael has replied my emails faster than Speedy Gonzalez Thanks for all the pictures during the building process. MY DEEPEST THANKS TO MICHAEL!!! OVERALL MARKING: 20/10 My Les Girl is the best guitar which I have played ever. And believe me, I have had many different guitars in my hands. This CS-1975 plays really like a dream and looks like a dream! The neck is fantastic playable due the handy shape and the satin finish. The weight and the comfort contour cut at upper backside is awesome too. And of course, the TONE is amazing. I'd high recommend Shamray custom guitars over anything else! I think I should replace my Godin midi guitar with a Shamray custom midi next... One more thank to Michael Walker, Master Sushkov, Mr. Shamray and the whole team! All the best, Christophe Chatelain PS: I will post some sound samples next. |
