Is there any reason at all I should not get a Skervesen?

There is always Carvin...

Ultra high quality and lots of options. They are selling direct outside the US now so the dealer markup is gone.

Do they have a custom form sheet or similar?! I couldn't find it anywhere on their website...

They just started dealing directly outside the us and before non us customers did not have access to the biulder.

For each guitar page, in the right hand margin it should say the price then right under that the first button says guitar builder in green.


Here is a direct link to the dc7x. If it doesn't work I'd email.

There are a few options not in the builder neck thickness can be thin, normal, and thick. They have always done jescar 55090SS frets for me they are xjumbo tall and only large width in stainless.

Thanks! But it only seems to work till the last 'cart sum' page, then it just says something like this on the bottom of the page: "Carvin doesn't ship directly to your country. Find a dealer etc...". Looks like their international selling still doesn't work, or they just didn't upgarded their site (or my country is exceptionaly out of their plans).

I wasn't able to check the prices of the specs neighter and it also didn't diplayed the guitars final price on the sum page....

Looks it can't be fully usable from my country, but I hope that at least their plan to correct this later... (Tho' it's still just a theoretical curiosity for me, but would be good to know that the possibilities getting wider).

I strongly disagree with "customer service is pretty good". I have a Raptor 7 and a multi-scale Raptor 7 on the way. I'll most likely never buy another one just because of their customer service. It's absolutely atrocious.

Hi!
I totally recognize the person - and the situation, which we remember very well. We didn't sell you any multiscale Raptor. If you bought it anywhere else - we don't take any responsibility as we don't have any dealers. All Skervesen's guitars are being sent directly from Skervesen's workshop located in Poland.

@oracles - that's very interesting. Maybe ask actual owners and hear their story. We're still quite fresh company but the change we made in last 2 years took decades for other companies. We're also still learning and listening to Customers' feedback. But many things like placement of single saddles we make is not a mistake - but Skervesen's string compensation system, etc, etc. Please remember that each flaw you eventually notice in our guitar will be repaired for free.
I wonder how it's possible that in almost each place where "Skervesen" is being mentioned - I can see that other guitar brand's name...

Please also don't expect us (me in fact, that's ONE person) to answer each email in 24hrs . Other thing is that many people just can't put their ideas and questions in one, two or even three emails. Record holder sends us questions for almost (or over) a year - and still no actual order...

Anyway thank you that we simply somehow started to exist in your guitar consciousness. We're just want to make best guitars possible and your feedback helps us a lot.

My question, is why would somebody order multiple guitars from a company without ever having played their guitars before? Not that nobody should do that, but that's a lot of money to put into something you might not like in the end.

Selling direct outside the us is a recent change, so it looks like not everything is fully implemented yet.

Skervesen is a good company too, so go with whichever is going to get you what you want at a price you like.

That's a good question - I've been thinking about it. But you know - there is a lot of guitarists that simply grab a guitar and play! Not measuring neck at nut, etc. - you simply have the neck, frets, body and pickups so nothing stops you to just play! Many top guitarists don't even know much about details of their gear, yet many guitarists are just looking for an excuse why they can't play this or that... In Skervesen we're all guitarists so sometimes we use such excuses too!

Your guitars are beautiful. Are they CNC'd or hand made?

 

[Skervesen Guitars]

Initial shapes - CNC, all the rest: by hand

I own the original Viper guitar (only 2 made) and the first guitar with that headstock - Thanks .

I love this guitar to death and will never sell it. It's a monster of an instrument and looks fantastic. I've never had a solid body guitar that resonated so fully while I played. I've tested out, through my friend who had a gear whoring issue haha, a Kxk, Bernie rico jr, and Guitar logistics amongst a bunch of others and this guitar is by far my favorite.

There has been a lot of Bullshit thrown around by the guys over at Guitar porn that was fueled by two former members of this form who are mods there. Alot of it was very back handed and the result of the fact that Skervesen wouldn't go with their "pay to get your brand promoted on our website" deal. I have screen shots if you want. Also have proof of one of them raving about the quality before that whole thing went down. I just feel the whole situation was very dishonest.

Not to say they haven't had mistakes, I've seen the photos too, and TBH though I have no experience with the customer service side of things since I bought it second hand. I have had numerous conversations with them and have kept in good communication on the Skervesen Owner's group on Facebook where they get back to you within minutes.

In the end though the people who made my guitar know what the hell they're doing. The people I would listen to most are the people who have kept their guitar for more than a few months rather then flipped it.

Wow, beautiful!! I love that headstock too, awesome detail

I have a Raptor 6 Evertune on order now. I haven't received the guitar yet so I cant comment on quality but so far Skervesen/Maciek has been great to deal with. Very patient and has dealt with my ocd. I have literally changed tops 3 times and he has been totally cool.

Thats the thing, people come on here and complain but these same people arent honest about themselves and how they have interacted with Skervesen.

Maciek could have easily turned around and said sorry, once you send your final specs thats it no changes but he didnt. So from a customer service standpoint i have been totally happy.
