Skervesen Raptor vs Mayones Regius

[MinasAvidya]

Hey Guys..I am really interested in this..I would like to order a new 7 string and i am torned between the two major Polish Guitar companies..I have read very polarized reviews about Skervesen-some guys are claiming that the craftsmanship of Skervesen has many flaws and others that they are just amazing..on the other hand Mayones is known for it's consistency...Any guys here that have experience with both brands and can help ??

If you are not interested in full custom,you can consider also Mensinger Guitars,and save good money

Between those two, Mayones all the way!

Now it depends on what you want.

That sounds about right from the reviews I've seen also. Seems like Skervesen has (or had) a hiccup every now and then, while Mayones has been top notch for many years.

I have a Setius 7 and can attest to it being top notch quality.

Mayones > many other guitars > Skervesen

Mayones for craftsmanship, definitely. Skervesen for crazy tops / options.

Depends if you want full custom or semi-custom

By god, get rid of that rubbish, will ya? ITT is simply an abbreviation of In This Thread, commonly used in... forums. Now don't tell me the fella is from 4chan based on that?

Had both of them...
Like other guys stated above, Mayones for quality and playability.

Skervesen for all the customization they offer.

I can't tell you which one will be the better option for you... All I know is that I want the craftsmanship from Mayones and the top from Skervesen
If I had 4000$ I'd go for the Mayo.
If I had 2500$ I think I'd go for a Raptor instead of saving up for the Mayo even though I'd know that I should have.

That's what I would do.

If you're equally interested in both but just don't know which one... Go with your gut?
I probably wouldn't be able to choose between a Blackat and a Ran so I'd just let my gut decide in the end

I've owned a Skervesen and now I have a Regius 6. If you have the money, definitely go for the Mayones, however if you prefer insane tops/wood combinations go for Skervesen because Mayones charges pretty high for changes in wood/tops. Skervesen also includes luminlays/BKPs/stainless steel frets in their base price, which is about a $500 upgrade if you were to do it on a Mayones Regius.

The Raptor I had had some inconsistencies such as misplaced side dots, glue marks, uneven pickup routes however none of them affected playability, it was just minor details.

Overall, I'd say the quality of Mayones is better than Skervesen, however both instruments still play extremely well.

Seems like Mayones is the up-and coming boutique!

I have played both and currently own a Skervesen. I would say Mayones definitely is in another league quality wise - Mayones all the way.

My Mayones had build-quality issues. Nothing impeding playability of tone: mis-aligned side-dots, dust under the clear-coat. It was a non-custom Setius. Sounded very pretty though, for sure. But for the cost it was disappointing to see issues you won't see on a Squier.
