Looking amazing! Really nice fretboard you got there, i'm liking how it has that more vivid shading on the one end

Thanks! The guys at Skervesen gave me the option of going with a plain piece of ebony or one of their more interesting pieces they had in the shop.

I think it gives it some character

At last, the neck has been shaped!

 

[Lothar]

We get hundreds of e-mails weekly asking how we get our burls. The secret is simple but for your eyes only!

 

[MetalDaze]

Some side views:

 

[Lothar]

Awesome

 

[Viginez]

not a fan of the headstock design, but otherwise i´m impressed.
looks flawless.

 

[MetalDaze]

Is it just me or am I starting to see the Raptor headstock appearing in places other than guitars?

^ And the Bla(du)ckat headstock.

For those just discovering this thread, I sent Jarek my deposit 14 days ago.

Let's say it again.

14 Days!!!!


That's an incredibly short amount of time to go from raw materials to this. If I didn't know better, I would think I am his only customer. He has certainly made it feel that way.

Thanks Jarek and everyone else at Skervesen for all of the hard work. This guitar is going to someone who will really appreciate it!

It's my personal policy not to share pricing on custom instruments like this.

However, I will tell you that I did not pay extra for any of this great service and expediated build time.

Jarek's pricing is very competitive. Both Jarek and Maciek are very quick to answer emails, so give them an idea of what you are interested in and see where it goes.
