Skervesen Raptor 7-string

[joe-tofu]

Hey guys ...

after all the awesome guitars, the guys at Skervesen put out in the last weeks/months I jumped on that bandwagon, too and spec'ed out a 7-string with Jarek and Maciek.

They started to work on my guitar recently, so I thought I should start a build-thread.

- 7-string Raptor 27"-neck
- Ash-Body, Burl-Poplar-Top
- 5-piece Rosewood-ebony-neck w/ ebony-fretboard and flourescent side-blocks
- Hipshot-hardware
- BKP Aftermaths w/ Camo-covers

Mine obviously is the one on the right:

I doubt that the square body will be very compfortable to play...

 

[Skervesen Guitars]

Long worked on ergonomics and so we came.....

 

[DoomJazz]

This build has me erecting...

I can't wait for the tonal qualities, especially because of the neck woods...

 

[Konfyouzd]

I can't see the pics...

If I read only one more comment about the square body I demand an official Skervesen Signature - the "Rectangular"

Ups! That's a clear mistake - thank you. Testin' of new gravers just went too far!

 

[meisterjager]

Looks like it's gonna turn out real good!

That Poplar burl

I love that it's one of those tops with almost no figure. It really gives it this sort of Blackmachine-esque look that comes from natural wood finishes that typically looks rather plain.

[Birdman]

[quoenusz]

Along with the swiss army-tar, the Ant Farmitar, and the Gibson Excaliburtar

Good for camping, it's got a toothpick!
