[!Disclaimer! This is my first NGD, so if I screwed anything up, sorry.]
Before I start this, I have some apologies to give out, for 2 reasons:
1.) I promised over in the Luthiery thread I started for this build, that I'd have this post by last weekend, unfortunately my computer shit out on me, and I had to get it fixed before I could do a proper NGD. Sorry folks.
2.) Also, all of the photos will be instagram'd... unfortunately I don't have a super sexy camera, so I had to at least spiced it up a bit.
So to all the haters of the current trend going on, I apologize. 
Anyways, onto the goods!
Bolt-on Righty 6 String
Tuners: Hipshot
Neck: 5-Piece Rosewood
Fretboard: Flamed Ebony
Scale: 24.69
Body: Swamp Ash
Top: Quilted Maple
Finish: Stained & Frayed
Binding: Ivoroid (All-throughout)
Bridge: Schaller Hannes
Pickups: BKP Blackhawks <3
Pots: 1 Vol, 3 way switch
Fluorescent side dots as markers only.
He's about half as excited as I am, but I gotta say that face is hard to beat.
To save some face of this thread, the boys over at Skervesen took sexier pictures. (Plenty more in the thread linked above.)
As far as playability and sound goes, I've uploaded a video and a Soundcloud clip in order to demonstrate.
SoundCloud - one of my own.
YouTube - a short clip of a BTBAM - Specular Reflection cover.
My opinion: I've already played a show with this beast, and she feels so solid in my hands. After numerous compliments, and what seemed to be infinite sustain on all of my squealies... I simply fell in love, and I intend to make her my main for 6-string content. The look, feel, smell, taste.... it's all there, and I'm a huge fan.
Jarek and Maciek @ Skervesen are extremely personable, have a sense of humor, and truly love what they do. They sent me more photos than what I could handle, and their e-mail turnaround was always super fast...
speaking of super fast, the build time was absolutely RIDICULOUS. I received the guitar last Friday and if you go check when my Luthiery thread started... and do the Math... absolutely ridiculous.
Needless to say...
