MY GUITAR - Skervesen Swan 6 Custom Shop

[@OlaEnglund]

Another My Guitar video of my Skervesen Swan 6! Hope you have a good monday!

[@mrb740]

Mondays are ever so slightly better with Ola and good coffee.

[@eldenthing1]

That deserves to be played more! Sell it to me :D

[@cwancyk]

fun fact: name of this brand is Skervesen, in Polish "Skurwysyn" means "Son of a whore", it's a joke, people outside Poland think that that's the name of the owner or some Scandinavian word, in fact they made fun of their own brand name.

[@KlausEvald]

If you ever want to sell that beast, just say the word.

[@lucid644]

You have a fantastic Monday also Ola... Keep up the great work boss

[@gvlcek17]

There's something to be said about someone that owns a guitar company and can still promote other brands when its quality. You're a class act Ola.

[@adityakrishna6817]

Probably the best sounding guitar on your channel so far !!

[@josuastangl7140]

Skervesen with BKPs really is a godly combination!

[@adityakrishna6817]

@@josuastangl7140 true, It has such a gorgeous rich and heavy tone. Conforms exactly to what I'd consider my tonal sweet spot :3

[@matttaylor1449]

Not all the pickup options sounded great wth Olas setup though. I think the coil split or something give it a wet pick attack.

[@josuastangl7140]

@@matttaylor1449 Sounded like there was a different issue, maybe with the wiring. Definately shouldn't be that noisy.

[@Franq85]

@@josuastangl7140 there is no issue. WD mod is for clean tones. It's noisy like split coil.

[@nj1255]

The "world domination mod" is a mod where the second switch is switching between humbucking/coil-split/acoustic mod. The last one is supposed to be used with a clean tone to resemble an acoustic guitar!

[@megatyaesree]

Yessss

[@hammersmashedbass3455]

so kinda like a piezo right?

[@nj1255]

@@hammersmashedbass3455 Nope, it's still the humbucker pups that are used. From their website: Q: What is Skervesen’s World Domination Mod? A: 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 Q: What is acoustic mod? A: 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.

[@mobilemetal4554]

That’s badass. What a cool idea

[@MatnessYT]

​@@mobilemetal4554 It doesn't sound like a piezo/acoustic. It kinda boost the bass and makes it more fat. You can make nice warm tones with it, especially played with fingers. the world domination mod is a must have. Instead of just humbuckers you get 3 different possibilities to shape your sound. Just insane.

[@karolscovers1651]

When you said "What's up" without following it up with "you beautiful, beautiful members" I realised how much I love it when you do and how empty I feel when you don't... Haha, gotta appreciate the member videos 🤘

[@molimba]

I like how he's reviewing all kinds of guitars, even though he runs his own guitar company. What an epic piece this guitar, love it!

[@timurhant469]

I am sorry to say Ola, but this is your best sounding guitar, video or whatever you put out throughout the years. There is something special about this one. Very organic and guttural , still modern and precise.

[@flyingmanforfun]

A guitar like that deserves to be played more often

[@thisiscemeryilmaz]

The riff around 19:30 is my fav Ola riff since I heard it nearly a decade ago man. Great stuff

[@ninefourteener]

Little known fact: Skervesen makes the finest quality guitars on the planet. Had a Swan-6 multiscale built in 2014.... and now in Nov of 2020, I'm 1 month deep into my 4AP-6 multiscale. I currently own over 20 exceptional high-end guitars. I've owned well over 100 in my life. Skervesen..... is the best that money can buy. Period.

[@ReinhartSchneider]

You went on a whole thing about voiced pickups leaning too far one way in terms of tone but then the very first chord you played on that Skervesen with the Warpigs in the bridge blew everything else out of the water. I'm not a dyed in the wool BKP loyalist or anything like that but this is one of the best tones I've ever heard on your channel.

[@kotogray8335]

That guitar and the Plini sound work so well together. Magical even...

[@DavidRamos-nz4bh]

That is an unbelievable sounding guitar. The low end is super tight , impressive. Beautiful finish.

[@tonydekenata]

Looks like one of my dream guitars, actually.

[@Kaed3]

Ola, do you know what Skervesen means? It reads just like "sonofabitch" in Polish :) Coincidence, I bet! Greetings from Poland!

[@scarletovergods]

Skurwysyn means sonofabitch, but it definitely seems like a play on those words :)

[@Kaed3]

@@scarletovergods It's intentional, it was confirmed by the owner of the brand. Apparently, "Oh, skurwysyn!" was the first reaction they got when they've shown the first prototype to someone and they've decided to just roll with it :)

[@gab_ale]

I love watching Ola's videos. Being so honest and raw makes them pretty funny.

[@poopoo5850]

Very cool of you to show other company's guitars seeing your the owner of a great and successful guitar company yourself shows your love 4 guitar ola 🇺🇸

[@vangoghsseveredear]

Thats probably one of the sickest head stocks I have ever seen

[@PeranMe]

We have a saying in my country that I think is fitting here: ”Men dra ända in i arslet en sån fin en gitarr”, which translates to ”My, that’s a nice guitar”. Thanks for sharing this!

[@tomfoolery8015]

Thank you Mr. Englund for being you. I appreciate and enjoy all your videos.

[@ilovesguitarmucho]

I don’t know why, but I think this is one of my favorite “my guitar” videos. Never played multi scale, shape is kind of funky, but I’m really digging the look of it. Haven’t gotten to the sound yet as I’m typing this, but I’m loving the look.

[@MikaTarkela]

I've wanted a swan for a while. Great to see more videos of these things!

A tone that could cut through even the muddiest mix, beautiful sound and looks. One can only imagine the action, but that looks comfortable to!

[@darthnihilus6642]

Dude this guitar and tone together is meant to be Jesus that shit is fucking insanely heavy sounding it’s absolutely metal asf and perfect

[@tarkenton3895]

The world domination mod is apparently meant to give a more acoustic, almost piezo sound on cleans. I'm guessing it's a coil split with a slight boost to match the full pickup volume and some other electronic magic that I don't know about.

Also, the world domination mod just allows you to switch between humbuckers, split coils, and an acoustic sound. That's why it's sounded kinda terrible through the gain lol

Multi Fret guitars 25.5- 27 or 26.5- 28 scale are a dream to play, no learning curve I would say if the fan is 26-28 , you might notice then. Just my take on it. No expert here, just really like FF Poland has some talented Builders, great video

[@powersv2]

Skervesen guitars are top notch custom guitars that don’t destroy the bank. That being Said I love my Ormsby HYPE GTR 7 for the money. Bet you could put those baseplates on duncan solar pickups for multiscale duncan solars.

[@toddhumphrey6310]

“Changing guitar strings is fun”... said no one ever.

[@discomfort5760]

If you say it three times before getting on to it, it becomes true.

[@AdamoTPC]

I like changing strings

[@iganpparamarta8813]

But when the strings are wound nicely on the tuning posts and the trem is stable, that’s the best feeling in the world.

[@toddhumphrey6310]

The whole time I am changing them, I just wish I could go back to playing guitar. I am also hoping that a string doesn’t snap when I am tuning them. If you love changing strings, that’s awesome. Hopefully, someday I can enjoy changing strings.

[@anthonymonterosso7472]

I personally enjoy it because I'm excited for how good it'll sound and how the new strings will feel when playing. The only time I hate changing strings is if it's on a Floyd Rose type bridge. FR can go fuck itself, never buying a guitar with one ever again

Nice guitar. Ive got a multiscale Swan 7 and it kicks so hard. I remember the guys from Skervesen being so cool back then. As soon as they finished my neck they messaged me like: hey dude you ordered a birdseye fretboard we shaped this one down and realized its not as birdseyey as we expected, should we refund you on the fretboard or start over? And I still think that sort of professionalism is to be expected from guys that claim to be the best, but skervesen are one of the few that actually deliver. I went with the first neck and its gorgeous.
