pretty awesome looking guitars right!?

i'm really G.A.S-ing for a raptor but i am not sure about the overall quality,
any impressions!?

cheers
S.
 
Had one in my arms for a few moments, top-notch quality

I also find it hilarious that the name is a polish curse word turned into a swedish sounding word.
 
I payed for a Vaptor today and already own a Blackat which was build in the same workshop.
The Blackat has the best neck I've ever laid hands on, easily beating the other high-end axes I've played (PRS, Mayones, RAN).
When my Skervesen arrives I can tell you more. PS there's a form over at the Skervesen website which let's you calculate the price of your dream guitar.
 
I've been gassing for one of these since seeing them on the sevenstring site. I love the combos of wood they use and their finishes are sick.

I'd love a Raptor FF 8. The youtube vids from Modern Day Babylon had me hooked.
 
loving the style and gasing really hard for a Raptor 8...

absolutely!
i'd be completely happy with 7 strings though :D

yeah, on the pics posted on facebook etc. the guitars look like
they are very well built but i am also very very picky when it comes to guitars.

btw, actually i thought it was swedish company when i first heard about them. what does it actually mean? :)

i've also heard about black cat guitars. what does it actually mean that these are built in the same workshop. same people, different "brand"?
when will your's be finished!? :)

i have also downloaded the quote form but it's in excel format and i couldn't really see through it. i couldn't chose alsost any of the options, old excel version i guess.

Want a raptor 7 Fanned fret with a Kahler multiscale trem, but can't find any infos about this tremolo... If anybody knows anything about this, you welcome !

it looks damn frickin' ugly, that's all i know about the kahler fanned trem :D

need to check this one out :)
 
Didn't read too much about them. How's their build quality? Is the Raptor a Blackmachine copy? It sure looks great.

Blackat were built in the same workshop by the same people up to this month. From now on the parts are still built by Skervesen but assembled by Tom from Blackat due to too much orders (look at Blackat's facebook page).
Actually, it's already finished. I contacted Maciek with a quote for a 7 string fan fret V-style and he sent me pictures of a just finished build. Somehow, I couldn't resist. Oh well, looks like I'll have to save some more for my first fan fret.
I'll be sure to PM you when the geetar's arrived...
 
Still trying to decide between a Skerveson or a Decibel Javelin (check em out: decibelguitars.com) for my next lefty. Will probably come down to whichever is less $$$.

i do not want to sound like a dick but fortunately cash is not a problem for me. it's more like my crap playing+it's just a hobby that makes it hard to justify ordering another custom guitar...wish i could trade money for talent -.-


This thing made me want one:

yeah this is lie the first guitar that made me think about even contacting them. i hope they can offer the custom options that i want, communication seems a bit slow, waiting for a reply for days now...

yeah, on some pics the quality seems superior, on other i can see clear flaws
that mostyl won't be there even on cheaper stock guitars. this makes me a bit skeptical, that's why i have actually started this thread.

I've heard other people say they had this issue. I think its a spam filter. Try their facebook or PM on Sevenstring forum. They seem pretty responsive on there.

Good luck man.

I had this problem, too. Turned out when hitting reply my mail program sent all the correspondence to guitars@commelina.eu instead of guitars@skervesen.eu.
thanks for the info man! :)
stoked to see your axe!
And it arrived!
Sorry for the crappy iphone quality.
