Electric Guitars
Currently, we produce two categories of professional-quality guitars:
1) Hand-made Custom Shop
models
Most frequently, these are custom variations on one of the more popular western
models. Production quality is equal to the finest professional instruments. The
material is thoroughly selected with the order, and all wishes of customer regarding
the form, the parameters, the color and the assembly are precisely carried out.
For us, the most interesting are
"full-custom" guitars - those developed from an original design of the
customer. There are no limitations: we make any kind of guitar, bass, or
"Stick", using bolt-neck, set-neck or neck-through-body construction,
with headstock or without it, from any scale length, utilizing all-wood or composite
materials, left handed, scaled down for children from 6 years, with two
fingerboards, on-board MIDI, active electronics, L.E.D. fret-markers - ANYTHING YOU DESIRE!
2) Original models
We currently offer 3 original guitar models of our own development:
SEAGALL (Helen Sigalova), MUSTANG SMB (Sergey Bogucharov) and V.A.
(Veselin
Atanasov). Originally, these guitars were prepared
for specific musicians, but customers began to regularly order them, and so we have
included these models in our catalog. These guitars are also hand-built, and of
course you may specify any custom variation of these models.
Ordering A Guitar
If you are interested, then you can obtain consultation and
price estimates, by calling +7 (095) 799-17-10 or
by sending e -mail to the address aleksandr@shamray.ru,
along with the description of your desired guitar.
The final formulation of order normally occurs in the workshop. Here you will be
able to look at samples of production, to select materials and to consult with
the master. But if you cannot come to the Moscow workshop, then consultation may be made
via e-mail, until all details are finalized. Work on your instrument begins after 50% deposit is
made.
For the production of a custom-made guitar it usually takes from one to
two months. In the course of this period, the customer can freely come to his
master and oversee the process of generating the tool. For overseas customers,
we can take 'work-in-progress' photos from time to time.
International customers may obtain delivery of their
instrument by insured air freight. Depending on which country the instrument is
being shipped to, the delivery time varies from 3 to 10 days. Shipping
estimate is included in your price quote, so you know all expenses up-front.

be reviewed, in the case of servicing the guitar by unqualified persons, or
if the instrument is abused by careless use!)
More than simply the guitar
In our workshop we can provide incredible custom artwork and graphics on
your guitar, and we can personalize it with any inscription you would like on the headstock or body (except of
course, the
registered trade marks of Fender, Gibson, etc!), along with marquetry of any
complexity, and inlays of natural mother-of-pearl or other materials. Cost
estimates are provided on a case-by-case basis.
Types of wood
Most of the necks for our instruments are made from the
Caucasian and Carpathian mountain maple. We maintain stocks of flame &
quilted maple, as well as "birds-eye" maple. For the necks of custom-made
guitars and bass guitars we use mahogany (Sapele, African), and also Wenge. For
fretboards we use maple, rosewood, and also ebony (black ebony and
maccassar ebony).
Other woods used in bodies (as well as necks) include: Black alder
(Russia), Red alder (USA), Mountain inden, Caucasian (white) and Far-Eastern
ash, Poplar, Maple, Mahoganies (Brazilian and African, Sapele, Gaboon, to
Meranti and Jarrah), Beech, White and Red Oak, Walnut, Wenge, Bubinga, Karelian
Birch, and more...
When placing your order, you can obtain consultation on the
selection of the types of wood appropriate for your musical needs.
