Skervesen Raptor 6-string Build

[SiggyCertified]

Ok, so just as long as everyone knows, wood being stained is now referred to as "yellow orangey finish." Noted.

I get that it's what he wanted, but he did say he was thinking of it right? I also didn't read that he ended up getting it. I do think it's a shame that there are so many of the same colour guitars being churned out by this monstrously good company though. Regardless, enjoy your guitar bro, it still looks fucking sweet :3

If I went for a Swamp Ash or Alder body and a maple neck I would definitely go for a blue finish but I wanted different wood specs to my other guitars. There is a much bigger lean towards their fancy tops in their builds.

Noted!

I'm bouncing ideas back and forth with the lads for a seven string. I'm really excited for them to get started on it.

Getting there! Skervesen's communication is so good. I can't even get through to some of the luther's I've future builds with but these guys deliver a constant stream of pics every step of the way. Dying to get my hands on this which will probably be very soon at this rate.

I'm amazed how well this is turning out. The black and white pickups pair up really well with the Black bridge and white binding. They are Bareknuckle Black Dogs for anyone wondering.

It looks so great man !! I love it very much !!

Hannes.... is it nickel or chrome?

 

[Skervesen Guitars]

Update!

 

[Birdman]

Looks really great !!! That`s guitar porn.

 

[Lorcan Ward]

AND...its done! Build time of just 5 weeks with constant communication and picture updates every step of the way.

My build was nothing out of the ordinary buy they nailed exactly what I was going for aesthetically with the pickups matching the binding and hardware.

I'm dying to get my hands on it and see how the craftsmanship and playability hold up, judging from the action I'd say it plays like butter and visually it looks top notch.

 

[Birdman]

Great to see it`s done !! This is definitely a killer AXE.
Can`t wait to see your NGD thread...

 

[Lorcan Ward]

I'll record some videos when I get it for the NGD.

Impossibly low action of .44mm is possible on my Raptor

Its since gone back to around 1mm which is otherwise it would make all my other guitars feel wierd since they are 2mm +

 

[Lorcan Ward]

My raptor has arrived safely. I know what I'm doing for the rest of the evening....or week NGD and video to come soon.

 

[Birdman]

Haha .... Happy NGD and congrats man
