Comments:
Extraordinary guitar. I got it after approx 12 weeks after the initial deposit (actually the waiting time they estimated was 8 weeks). The Skervesen guys were very helpful and friendly throughout all the building stages and they provided useful suggestions. When I received the guitar the Killswitch was not working as needed and they sent me 7 (seven) other Killswitch buttons to pick the one I liked the more
I own some high end guitars (Vik, KxK, Boden8) and played several others and I have to say that the quality of this axe is comparable to the best ones. Neck is super fast and confortable and the overall playing experience is perfect, probably second only to the KxK. The Warpigs are huge. Probably I'd advice against them if you play moderate/melodic metal stuffs but they perfectly fit my necessities.
The build quality is very high. I would have preferred an oil finish but it was not an available option so we opted for wax. The sole regret I have is the look of the ivory binding where the head meets the fretboard (see pic).
