SKERVESEN: Arrival | GEAR GODS

[@AravKrishnan]

Hey Trey , thanks so much for the feedback you gave me on my SMG Oldies but Baddies entry , I really appreciate it. Cheers from India dude !

[@johannrajan3279]

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Gimme that guitar.

[@StefanoMaddalena]

OMG! It's finally here! it looks and sounds amazing! I loved the tone when you played the chords 7:38 . And that lead tone, it's just great

[@ZedChuva]

COVID be damned. I'd be FURIOUS if my $5000 guitar was just left on the doorstep. That said, sweet machine.

[@lesliejohn9061]

Ive been watching this a few times. Just wanna say that a skervesen shoggie DC8 is my dream guitar. hope one day i’ll be financially stable enough to own one. Congratulations on your new guitar☺️

[@flyingmanforfun]

Man i really want a skervesen swan, the one ola has is insane, love the shape

[@YourCaliBos]

Cool man , I remember when you did a video of this when you ordered. Can’t wait to see this, we have a red layer coming . Perfect timing for both of us

[@baritonecult622]

Whats up you maniac lol

[@YourCaliBos]

Baritone Cult I mean your Red Layer Build

[@BjornarFrantzen]

Love the case!

[@louiejones4092]

beautiful guitar I definitely plan on ordering a skervesen in the near future.

[@daveweir784]

I just got 2 Skervesen Velociraptors, a 6 and a 7, both are amazing works of art, I am a perfectionist and they were pretty much perfect out of the box, I would have recommended you to get the World Domination Mod for yours to get more tones(Humbucker/SingleCoil/Acoustic Mode) Enjoy that Beast/Beauty :)

[@InfamouslyCantankerous]

That's probably one of if not the best looking guitar I've ever seen. Its gorgeous. And I'm not a big headless guy. But that thing is something special.

[@mathieupelletier4392]

Man I don't know why you keep saying sorry for posting the videos earlier! It was perfect and I was coming back to see if you finaly got it. Congrats to you. My Velociraptor is almost done and I start to get excited. Skervesen are the best!

[@SixString_J5]

4:36 I just got my first aristides a couple months back and I know exactly what you're saying. I got more and more hyped as time went on, and on, and on. Well worth the wait though.

[@michu123PL]

Probably someone said/wrote that already but a little trivia for you: Skervesen is a little play on a word "skurwysyn" which in Polish basically means "a son of a bitch". *flies away*

[@ShredCrusade]

I have a Skerv my self since like 4 years now (you can see it on my channel) and man I never played such a great versitaile and robust guitar ever!

[@emax5920]

o kurła całkiem fajna Polska gitara! :)

[@NahtramMetal]

Awesome guitar! Glad you're happy with it.

[@cwwisk]

Soooo excited I could go buy one myself...

[@zubiecup]

Haha, wow. I feel lucky! I just started this series today and wondered if you’d ever make a video once you had received it. I didn’t have to wait long.

[@noobasaurusrex9608]

Jesus Christ I had no idea you were such a good player!! Saw with you Glenn on oldies but baddies and thought I'd better check you out. Instant subscribe!!!!

[@Boomheyyou]

That’s a really cool case

[@pedroabdala7232]

Currently saving up to get either a Skervesen or a Mayones :) Great video!

[@jakelee8789]

One of the bestest feelings , a new package!!!

[@damientoth9133]

that guitar is so beautiful. im in love!

[@cormacbobertson4732]

Nice video, Thanks 👊

[@Sjondrums]

Daaamn it sounds good!!

[@AaronMorgan666]

Holy shit the tone!

[@AaronMorgan666]

Man, looks so good.

[@EonTide1111]

Is the intonation adjustment done on the saddle base on in the back like a hipshot headless solo tuner?

[@northernlefty5412]

I was going to order a lefty shoggie but went with a custom mayones hydra 7 multiscale. Awaiting the results of my decision in a few months.

[@MuttleyGameTube]

My expectations are as expected EXCELLENCE in a guitar. What customers should understand, that didn't come out in your video tour in the factory, is that once they cut a neck they wait 3 months to see if the neck suffer any twist, so far I don't think they take less then 6 months before ship a guitar, IMAO all worth!

[@axelnoi]

Have played 3 guitars from them. Best guitars made today

[@ericsampoll]

Sick !!!!!!!! ... 😷 8 String!!!!!!!! Bro ✌🤟🤘🎶🎵🎼🎸

[@blakecurtis7809]

That's a sexy guitar. I am not a fan of headless guitars, however I never played one. Glad you finally got it.

[@wujBat]

I was even die hard hater - until I played one... :D

[@blakecurtis7809]

@@wujBat Oh I am sure they are great instruments. That said I have to agree with Ola Englund when he said that they look weird without a headstock.

[@darkmoonproductions8711]

Fuck that lead tone at 10 mins in is absolutely ridiculous . please share what your using for said tone!

[@treyxaviermusic]

Neural DSP Plini

[@ericpatton1349]

Aloha, i am looking at this build for my son and wondering what pickups you chose and why as I am currently looking at warpig juggernauts it is a 7 string version and he is not aware of what this old man is up to its a Christmas gift!

[@Cuncvir]

I somehow get the feeling that you have already ordered a different, seven string model from Skervesen already :D

[@papasmamas1]

Just 1 critic to the video, the close up pics last too short, I was expecting more close ups !

[@chri5g3n3]

Yea, barely got to see the guitar, from a distance, in a dark room.

[@sonictemple2925]

They make beautiful guitars. Any custom guitars take on average about a year. I think a lot of people don’t see a difference between semi custom and custom. My EGC’s have taken about the same amount of time.

[@drugjoza5000]

What is the difference between custom and semi custom?

[@sonictemple2925]

Drug Joza semi Custom is guitars like the Fender Mod Shop are doing. Limited options with bodies and necks that are pre made. Full custom guitars are usually fully made to order. The options are almost unlimited if you are willing to pay. These usually take a year plus to get.

[@matthieulefloch3343]

Masterpiece ! Tangent curve 😍 3mm or 5mm for the dot on the neck ? Luminlay ? Ty congrats

[@JoeHeisler]

If I was going for a custom would you recommend a Skerv, Mayo, Ormsby, or something else? I know it also does depend on specs/look that I want but just overall build quality and experience with the company.

[@extirpatebabel]

Never goes wrong with Mayones. Never!

[@obicross]

Kiesel?

[@AshfaqHossainShawonBD]

Could you please give the full specifications of this guitar?

[@krisrudecki9477]

Wow amazing 🔥🤯

[@PariahVSGear]

Had definitely assumed something happened with this...but then again, something always happens with custom guitars, even before COVID 😂.

[@mullandglow]

The moment you realize you already saw this guitar in use in Andrew Baena's "What If LED ZEPPELIN Tuned Down? (8 String Guitar) // Feat. Trey Xavier of @Gear Gods & @In Virtue" video on April 15th.

[@treyxaviermusic]

Yeah I filmed this one in March, finally finished editing it haha

[@gingerjam2192]

Beautiful guitar! What are the scale lengths? And the pickups? I gathering hardware and materials to build one for myself.

[@obicross]

proud to have one too, skervy bros! whats the pickups? i like it

[@obicross]

I think that arm contour makes a lot of difference, at least look wise

[@jaccob73]

1) this is absolutely great guitar 2) but why oh why is the output jack in that position? that totally revokes the comfy sitting ergonomics that you mentioned once the guitar is plugged in, i am sure maybe similar position of output jack as Abasi Larada/Strandberg would be better. 3)again, no hate man, otherwise brilliant guitar, but this bugged me the moment i saw it.

[@HimothyOHooligan]

That's exactly what I thought. The new Aristides headless has it in that position too but they have TWO input jacks so you have two options for where you can plug in.

[@darthmorbous]

Which body shape is this? Cannot find it on the website

[@treyxaviermusic]

Skerveten

[@PaulKingMetal]

Do you like this guitar better than your Kiesel guitars?

[@IronSweep]

Now I want an headless guitar !!

[@bigsnacks913]

Only mistake I made was not getting one sooner

[@tarsiousmunalembohol]

Of all guitar company logo skervesen is the sickest... "s"

[@marcusdingstad2129]

You should do a random midi drum groove with this guitar

[@ancientalien815]

I like extended scale, not multi scale. Palm mutes just aren't as good on multi scale for me.

[@KeltsiGG]

The exact opposite here.

[@FeisalKassim]

SICK

[@balabeylo1995]

FINALLY !!)))

[@barrygomez5968]

gonna tune the 8 full step down like you do with ur 7s?

[@deathking4119]

Hey you should do Halo guitars. They have an online builder as well like balaguer

[@yashdaware2458]

Do you ever play through those cabs?

[@baritonecult622]

Look at that Neck, its all about the neck, congrats Trey

[@Boomheyyou]

That’s cool

[@AaronMorgan666]

I like how you drew out opening it. Seemed like you were doing it on purpose...?

[@BcBaxley]

Ooooo so when a Kraken and a Griffin fuck you get a SKERVESEN 🤘

[@LongshanMusic]

Absolutely stunning guitar. That case is amazing, and the guitar sounds incredible. But please don't disparage the people who deliver packages for a living. Imagine what this pandemic would be like if not for the men and women who have been working straight through this pandemic to deliver shit to, not only people's homes, but also hospitals, grocery stores, etc. I look forward to hearing you play this beauty more in the future. 👍

[@mmmicroplastics]

I think it's totally fine to disparage them until they stop treating works of art like guitars like trash

[@roadrunnerplaying]

Between Skervesen and Markline, it’s a tough choice

[@drzecelectric4302]

Need a close up man!!

[@FEV369]

I'm still waiting to hear anything above a 7 string that does not sound like poop. Great looking guitar though!

[@robistocco]

When it's not even a matter of $$$, I can't buy a guitar that takes a full year to be in my hand: it's undeniably a beautiful piece of art, but an off-the-shelf Ibanez Prestige will be in my room 3 days after I order it on Sweetwater and my playing will definitely not be impaired by the lower price + it's a full year of fun with a new guitar + I still have budget for 2 more mass produced guitars (taking Ibanez as an example, could even be a Kiesel that takes "only" 10/12 weeks). Plus what am I gonna like in a year from now? In the past couple of months I've been gassing for any analog synth that's under the sun: imagine if I knew I paid $4k for a guitar that I don't have yet while I could be buying 3/4 Moogs?! This is why I like the "in stock" section of the Kiesel website, so I can get my gas fix quick and easy 😂

[@Duckeggmike]

This is a good point. I still will want a custom in the future (Daemoness makes SICK stuff) but the whole not knowing what you'll like in a year (like his 8 string situation) is a very valid discussion

[@henryside6248]

I also go the same way as you do. Nevertheless, lately I got lucky to buy a seconhand Markline Guitars custom in mint condition. I found it on a second hand site. I just had to drive an hour to grab it. Very happy with it (fanned frets 7 strings), super comfy neck, great build quality. Sometimes they also sell customs straigth on the Markline Guitars Facebook page. Usually, I buy new or second hand guitars and systematically get them upgraded by a friend who is a luthier. I will probably ask him to build a custom guitar for me because he does outstanding instruments. The feeling of a hand made custom is quite something compared to my stock models. And yes: 4k means several Moogs :p

[@ericgallegos8620]

Im sure you dont have to pay it all up front. I have a build going with hapas guitars right now. its 500 down and you pay the rest when its done.

[@NicoMCH666]

Ya same here, the money is one thing but having to wait so long (or even longer if you have epidemics like Covid 19) is kinda of a blocker for me. There are other builders though who might take less time. I think Mayones (also from Poland) goes a bit faster but the price is higher if I recall. And as you mentioned Kiesel is like around 3 months. It's a balance between patience and knowing what you really want.

[@wujBat]

You can find some on Reverb or ask guys if they have something near completion stage. You pay upfront the deposit and the rest when it's done. I think they also have installment plan now

[@fernandonavarro6783]

But you used it in a video of led zeppelin several months ago

[@treyxaviermusic]

Yeah I shot this video in March

[@disco4535]

2:18 Go to a UPS or Fed Ex sorting center when they have their sorter job opening presentations (they're usually around 4:30 - 5am though) to watch the "baboons" throw your packages around lol. You'll see why they have no choice but to rush. I guarantee you won't see any fat people sorting.

[@darzik]

"You're entrusting it to some friggen baboons"

[@svendugandzija9716]

Driving baboon here. Can confirm not a lot of care goes into getting packages where they need to go super safely before it gets on my truck. Also being a musician makes it that much more heartbreaking when package handlers stack boxes on top of a guitar box.

[@michalgil4151]

Pole here. Skervesen is a play on words. Skurwysyn means son of a bitch and they just made it a bit swedish sounding.

[@rudijohnsen2557]

Is that upper bridge tuner out of place?

[@dadmetal4lyfe358]

Like there's more distance between lowest and next lowest string then all the others?

[@rudijohnsen2557]

@@dadmetal4lyfe358 May have been an optical illusion, but at 10:45 it looked like it was bent upwards more than the others:)

I found the flaw: cable socket in the cutaway, what a waste not being able to play it that way amplified.
