NGD: Skervesen ChiRoptera

[Pandaonslaught]

Hey guys! I picked up my new Skervesen today from the post office, couldn't be more excited!

I haven't had too much time with it amped but I really like it so far. This is my first fanned fret/ multi-scale guitar. I was pretty nervous about it, but turns out it suits my hands very well and I really like the strings tensions across the neck. Have it tuned to E B G D A E A right now and don't feel any looseness on the low A. and I can't wait to mess around with the coil tap option.
Specs:
Scale - 25.5"/27"
Neck - 5 piece rosewood/ebony
Fretboard - Macassar ebony
Inlay- offset dots, perloid, Luminlay fret markers
Body - Black Limba, maple middle layer
Top - Quilted maple
Binding - Ivoroid neck
Bridge - ABM single saddles
Tuners - Hipshot locking
Raptor Headstock

HNGD, Nice choices for the wood. What is the neck profile like on these?

beautiful guitar! Love blue.

Black limba seems popular atm. I remember seeing a black limba Carvin (Body and neck). Such beautiful grain.

I was curious about this technically also and I emailed Maciek to get a more accurate description of the neck. I can only describes how it feels to me. it's thinner where the thumb meets the Low B string and thickens up a bit as you back up towards the High E. It's really comfortable for me, I normally play with my thumb touching the ebony strip closest to the high E string. Comes from playing Cello haha

Not sure what they want to call it, it's some sort of trans navy blue, it photographs really well cause the flash brightens it up a bit.
