Skervesen Raptor 7 FF 7-String Multi-Scale Guitar, Red Burst
Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is very proud to offer up this Skervesen 7-string Raptor guitar in a gorgeous red burst finish over a tightly grained and highly figured flame maple top. This one also has Skervesen's World Domination Mod upgrade which allows for beautiful chimey and almost acoustic-like tones to be had along with the powerful humbucking and vocal-like split-coil sounds that are a bit more standard. These Bare Knuckle pickups are also geared towards heavier styles of playing and sound absolutely fantastic with high-gain or heavy distortion. Rounding out the unique features of this particular guitar is the limba body. Tonally it's like a more refined version of mahogany and was used by Gibson with regularity before they realized that mahogany is easier to work with and sounds close, even if not quite as good as limba.
The neck is slim, thin, and lightning-fast. The fretwork is immaculate and allows for extreme bends without fretting out, two-handed tapping without exhausting your fingers, lightning-fast shredding up and down the neck, and chugging rhythms, all with minimal effort. The heel is contoured for easy access to those upper frets so you can really get as high up on the neck as you need to. A simple control layout and gorgeous aesthetics round out this incredible sounding guitar.
Whether you're lighting it up on the big stage or just jamming with friends, this guitar will impress both visually and with its killer tone. It also comes with a case that is virtually bulletproof and can even withstand the rigors of flying with it.

What is Skervesen’s World Domination Mod?
It’s a special electronic circuit available exclusively in our guitars. It contains high quality potentiometer(s) and two 3-way switches. With one you choose a pickup and with the second you choose between humbucking/coil split/acoustic mod. World Domination Mod is designed by Radek “Vicol” Wykocki
What is acoustic mod?
It’s a mod we developed that makes the guitar sound similar to an acoustic one. Not a piezo pickup, but still worth having in your arsenal.
Bare Knuckle Pickups Nailbomb Set
The Nailbomb humbucker is the perfect synergy of old-school and modern rock tones in a high output humbucker.
From hot, fat blues rock through to aggressive thrash, the Nailbomb explodes with a strong and commanding voice. Contemporary players will take advantage of the full bore reaction of the pickup on full tilt; older school players will enjoy the range of classic tones and response using the volume pot to clean up.
The Nailbomb neck humbucker has a woody and bright character when used clean; add overdrive and the tone tightens up for a focused and precise attack.
