Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: I'm throwing this up to see what else may be out there. I'm pretty attached to it but I just don't play it as much as my 7. Mint Skervesen Raptor FF8. This was built this year and was part of the Australian 10 run. Guitar is in perfect condition with no chips in the paint. The guitar has a matte finish across the body and neck. Scale is 25.5-27 with stainless steel frets on a birdseye maple board. The neck is a 5 piece made out of Rosewood-Ebony. It also has GREEN Luminlay side dots. Body is swamp ash with a beautiful maple top. Loaded with calibrated BKP Aftermaths. You can reference the NGD here -> http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/ex...383-ngd-skervesen-raptor-8-a.html#post3744087

What are you looking for in terms of trade specs? Trem, no trem, scale length, etc. Or open to all?

I'm pretty open on trade specs to be honest. Not too concerned with trem/no trem, scale length, or anything like that.

I currently have a Ernie Ball MM JP7 BFR Koa as my main 7 string so I'm not looking for another EBMM unless it was a Majesty 7 possibly.

I'm not interested in Carvins, ESP, Schecter, Agiles so much.

Would you be interested in a Ibanez RG7CT + some cash? Allegedly there were only 24 RG7CTs made in 1999 to test the water for the 7 string J Custom line. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure I would make the trade but I figured I'd see if you may be interested in working out a deal. I have the OHSC and the guitar is in excellent condition. Let me know what you think and we'll take it from there. No big deal if you say "no"! Thank you for your time and consideration

I know that these are not meeting the requirements for your request but I do have 3 vintage guitars that I would put up against the Skervesen. I have a 1965 Fender Mustang and a 1983 Gibson "The V" that I would trade together for the Skervy. I also have a 1986 PRS The standard in a custom black Pearl finish. The PRS has original receipts, manuals etc. Sadly none are 7 strings.

I already have quite a few 6ers i've acquired over the years and only one other 7 so i'm going to stick with 7's for now but thanks for the offer RPG.

I have a Skervy semihollow 4AP fanned 7 that I might be able to trade. Let me know if you're interested. I'm not 100% sure I want to, but I do loves me an 8 (it's all I play anymore).

PM'ed with the passion of a thousand waterfalls.

Also the low string bridge saddle looks a bit misaligned.

Is that just an optical illusion caused by all of the multiscale business going on ? xD

I would guess it would be to maintain a uniform amount of string to string spacing taking into accommodation the increased string gauges on the bass side.

What in-pursuit said! They are angled a bit.

Gonna bump this up for a couple more days but right now 2750+ shipping is the pending offer. Was hoping to find a nice mayo or a boden 7!
