Skervesen Raptor 7, 7-String Guitar, Blue Burst Burl

Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is very proud to offer up this Skervesen 7-string Raptor guitar with a beautifully and uniquely figured poplar burl top along with a gorgeous pau ferro fretboard!

This Skervesen Raptor is very appropriately named. The guitar is aggressive and super fast to play. If you're not careful, it could just bite your head off... But if you can channel the power of a true beastmaster, then all it has to offer will be at your fingertips. Blazing lead licks up and down the fretboard are a real breeze while complicated chord shapes are still easy to get every note to ring out perfectly. Even if this is your first foray into the world of extended range guitars, you're likely to feel right at home on this bad boy.

Let's not kid ourselves here, this is a shredder's axe through and through! Sure, it can handle a variety of playing styles, but it's begging to hit the front end of your amp hard and scorch the big stage. 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, plus it's an absolute breeze to play.

The Raptor is the most popular model in the Skervesen line - a  versatile instrument of classic design.

This guitar features an ash body with an eye poplar top, Jescar stainless frets, Lundgren pickups, and a pau ferro fingerboard. A Gator hardshell case is included so you can keep your guitar protected from scratches and dings when you're not playing it. It's also covered by a 2-year warranty! 

Bare Knuckle Pickups Silo

Silo: A signature pickup for a guitarist with a colossal signature tone and style.

The ‘Silo’ humbuckers define Rabea Massaad’s standing as a revered guitarist, music producer and performer, translating his immediately recognisable finger tone and phrasing.

"I need a pickup with the ability to create glassy, ambient leads and warm, clear chord tones. Equally I need it to sound crushingly heavy and aggressive.

The Silo humbuckers give me everything I need and more. I couldn’t be happier." Rabea

Twin screw coils, Alnico V magnets and a pairing of 44AWG wound bridge and 42AWG wound neck all combine into an incredible range of depth and output.

Rabea is renowned for the clarity in his guitar tones and the precision in his playing, whether it be textural ambient soundscapes or saturated driven breakdowns.

Silo’s clean and split coil tones are pure, warm, and full bodied, responding extremely well to pick dynamics and changes on the volume pot. Driven tones retain excellent note definition through extended chord voicings and lower tunings with incredible projection and weight behind every note.

‘Silo’ is available with 4 conductor hookup for advanced wiring concepts, as well the full range of Bare Knuckle finishes, including a custom ‘Bea’ etch and pickup tattoos.

‘SILO…WHERE THE TONE BOMBS ARE KEPT.’
