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 theire 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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
