Skervesen Raptor 7 FF 7-String Multi-Scale Guitar, Purple Burst
Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is very proud to offer up this Skervesen 7-string Raptor guitar in a gorgeous purple burst finish over a figured pear wood 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. The Lundgren pickups are also geared towards heavier styles of playing and sound absolutely fantastic with high-gain or heavy distortion.
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 visually and with its killer tone. It also comes with a case that is virtually bulletproof and can even withstand the rigors of flying and keep your guitar well protected.
