That green+gold+maple is tasty! HNGD!

I need a Skervesen in my life, badly. That's a gorgeous piece of instrument. How's the upper fret access? I never noticed on the Raptors, but it looks like it could be difficult reaching the higher frets.

Regardless, congrats and HNGD!

I'm not sure if it's because mine is a 7 vs. his 8, but my raptor's body hits the side of the neck right around the 23rd fret. Upper fret access on that is great, although the fan makes 23rd/24th fret on the low B and 24th on the low E a little tough to reach. Fortunately I don't play there too much

That is one of the most beautiful green finishes I've ever seen! Happy NGD, I'm gonna scroll back up to the pics and drool a bit more.

Thanks guys! It plays like a dream! The scale length is perfect imo, the high 24 is kinda of hard to hit but luckily i have big enough hands that it really isn't noticeable! I thought I was going to dislike the pickup selector position but it's actually very quick to flip and super solid.

The only thing I think i will swap out is the pick ups, they sound fantastic for chord voicing but I just think they are to bright on the high end for what I like.

Beautiful guitar man. What would the inlay pattern be referred to as ?

 

[Compton]

They called it "wave" inlay.

They called it "wave" inlay.

It's a "-sin(x) from 0 to 2∏" inlay pattern

That looks lush. Nice!

Skervesen seems to be the latest hot thing at the moment, and they make some nice looking guitars. Definitely a keeper?
