Skervesen 4AP 7 HSS Build thread

I started a new build with Skervesen and wanted to document it here and share it with everyone. I was looking for a 7 string with HSS pickup configs and there are not many options for that. I had a Skervesen 4AP 7 string before and sold it, regretted it ever since. I love the look, feel and playability of them. I also had a Raptor 7 built before so I guess you can say i really like Skervesen guitars...

Anyway, working with Skervesen is great. They are very responsive and always answer emails and questions within 24 hours and that's pretty good considering the time difference between the US and Poland.

So here are the specs and pics below. I'll more as the build goes.

4AP 7 string
Basswood body with Rosewood Soul tone block center piece
5 piece Maple/Wenge/Maple neck
Flamed maple fretboard with small blue Luminlay dots in a pattern i asked for
Flamed maple top with a blue burst satin finish - Blue Blade fade
Bareknuckle Nailbomb/Trilogy/Trilogy pickups
25.5" scale

Sorry for the large pics, that's the size they came and I'm not sure how to adjust the size in the thread.

Build pics so far:

I picked up a Kallistii prototype from someone on this board and it's just incredible. It plays effortlessly and feels incredible. I can't wait to set up a build with them within the year. Look forward to seeing the progress on your build!
 
Got an update from Skervesen this morning of the neck.

Wow, dude! That is just pretty. I love this body shape, too. The Skervesen line body styles are rad.
