Skervesen (NON- RAPTOR BUILD)

[rifftrauma]

Well following both MetalDaze and SiggyCertified I too have placed an order for a Skervesen. Similar to both posts, Jarek and Maciek at Skervesen have been absolutely awesome to work with. They have emailed me back promptly every time, and I've got to say...it's refreshing. I ended up ordering a model with the same body/headstock type as the H8 chocolate posted on the site. Hopefully pics to follow

Specs below:

- Right handed (because if you're not right, you're wrong )
Specs:
- 8-string
- Maple neck (Bolt on)
- Ebony fingerboard
- Basswood one-piece body
- H-H / Bare Knuckle Aftermath Set
- 27″ scale
- ABM bridge
- Sperzel Trimlock tuners
- Bolume pot with a push-pull option for coil splitting
- 3-way pickup switch
- Ivory saddle
- Buckeye burl lacquer finish
- Head stock with matching buckeye burl finish
- Side dots fluorescent in the dark

Buckeye Burl is my next top choice ,looking forward to watching this. Based off the other builds, I'll expect to see the top routed by thursday,

Cool specs. What a great business model Jarek has....build what people want and don't take 2 years to do it

Oh no no, you won't get EVERYTHING you want I agree, you don't have to wait 2 years and it seems to us that 2 to 3 months is a real period of time to build and ship a guitar. I have to admit we are a bit amazed by the number of orders we managed to get since our debut here on ss.org with the Terrormachine. It all was supposed to be a weekend hobby (a return to the passion I've developed in Mayones) which unexpectedly grew to a "serious" company by a series of chained events Furthermore, we are full of respect for you, who trusted us only seeing us on the Internet

Anyway, rifftrauma, we are looking forward to sending a first USA eight-string Skervesen to you as soon as it's finished! Unfortunately, it won't be this Thursday

Oh no no, you won't get EVERYTHING you want

That's right....you couldn't get me a left handed Hannes bridge

Looking forward to the build pics on this one!

It's going to double as a shovel

 

[MetalDaze]

Every Skervesen build needs a name. What's this one going to be?

 

[Musza]

my vote goes for a ShovelCaster

Maciek sent me some new pics this morning!
