Well i should have posted these a while ago, but I've been on tour and I've been getting ready for Euroblast (which i'm about to leave for in a few hours). So finally here we have it

Up first, My Skervesen Raptor 7:
25.5" scale
Swamp ash body
Spalted walnut top
Wenge/maple/bubinga
Ziricote fretboard
Tangent curve natural mother of pearl inlays
Bare Knuckle Black Hawks pickups
Ivoroid binding,
Luminlay side dots
Locking tuners

This guitar is absolutely perfect - Plays like a dream, sounds incredible, feels perfect, fast, completely comfortable, perfectly crafted. This is my dream 7 string and i couldn't ask for anything more. Easily better than any other 7 I've ever played. Pics galore...

That inlay...I saw them post it on their facebook page and now I know who ordered it, haha! My friends and I loved it. That first raptor seven is one of the best looking guitars I have ever seen...

Those look phenomenal! Awesome pics, as well. Your aesthetic choices on the 8 really remind me of my Black Water, which is not a bad thing at all, haha.
