binky_bass Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 So, FINALLY, I've taken delivery of this astonishing beast... A 2019 built Kompakt T7 from Reiver Guitars (built by Alan of ACG). Purchased second hand from Reverb and after 12 days in transit it arrived! It's ridiculous. The build quality surpasses everything. I have a PRS Custom 22 and that feels like a Squire in comparison. The top wood (Dyed and Acrylic Impregnated Maple Burl) is, for lack of a better word, savage. There's even a cheeky little worm guy hiding in the grain! The Hipshot tremolo is fantastic, keeps excellent tune and very easy to use. The proprietary Reiver Igneous II pickups are a treat and with the East Active Tone Boost you can achieve some fantastically usage tones. This thing is simply beyond good. Flame Sycamore fretboard, Wenge/maple neck, luminlay side and top dots, the action is incredibly low. I am not one to rant on about something unless it is deserving of a rant, and good god this is deserving! @skelf, you sir are some kind of magician. The Worm (as I am now calling this beast) will live along side the 30.5 6er you built me and the 9 string ACG indefinitely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eude Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 That is absolutely stunning @binky_bass, congratulations! I'll bet 12 days in transit was a bit of squeaky bum time, great to see it arrive in one piece. That is one amazing guitar. Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Well the string on the left is getting towards “correct” - the other six look a bit weedy though .... they may have cheated you on weight there 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
