    Skervesen is not just a guitar manufacturer. It is an addiction! I have 3 skervs already. It doesn't matter if you order simple basic build or bleeding edge exotic wood custom inlay ntb beast. Build quality, playability, attention to details will always be on the top. So far I haven't found another guitar brand that brings me the same amount of GAS Joy.

      My Mayones and ESP custom shop are better than the Skervesens my buddy has. Not by much, but I choose them. Another buddy’s PRS Wood Library is bananas amazing too. I’m a bit jealous of that one.

    Skervesen are my dream guitar brand. I'm pretty sure I need a Swan model - but I haven't decided on a 6, 7 or 8 string model. They make works of art that you can play, as you said early in the video.
