Finally managed to get my hands on my dream guitar. Upgrading from a 7 to an 8 string is a bit weird but easier than a 6 to a 7. Some specs for those interested:

Skeversen Shoggie 8
26-28" 5-piece pau ferro & wenge neck, flame maple fretboard
European ash body, flame maple top wood
Bare Knuckle Juggernaut in the Bridge, BKP Cold Sweat in the Neck
Skervesen's "World Domination Mod" AKA coil split and "acoustic" switch
