Hi guys, thought I'd get your input on a Skervesen Raptor 6 string build while I wait for them to email me back ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'm going to be ordering a 6 string Raptor ASAP from Skervesen, I just wanted to get your opinion on a few things as I'm still unsure on wood selection and pickups (which can be swapped out so isn't a big deal)
I'm wanting it to be as versatile as possible as I like to play a bit of everything (mainly fusion just lately, but love to play heavier rock, blues and metal)
The only thing I currently know that I want is a maple top, mainly for the looks of it.
What sort of body wood and neck wood would you recommend baring in mind my requirements for genres? I was also thinking of an ebony fretboard as I like how they play and look.
As for pickups - Bareknucle Black Hawks sound like a good choice for versatility.
Your input is appreciated, cheers guys!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
