    NGD Carvin DC800 "purple pimp"

    Congratulations on yet another Carvin! I gotta get me one of these DC800 in the futures. Shame I'd have no idea what finish to pick for a DC800, so many choices in top woods and finishes!

    NGD - Not everything is black and white! (My 3rd and 4th Carvin DC800)

    I definantly got to look into these, as I hear they are quality instruments and for that price it's great to be able to get something like that. Once again, congratz on the new guitars they look stellar. They at least told me it was no problem to send me their guitar builds to Iceland if I...

    NGD - Not everything is black and white! (My 3rd and 4th Carvin DC800)

    I contacted Carvin about this and it seems they are more than happy to sell guitars to Europe without it going through a dealer, which is wonderful news in my opinion. By the way, how did you get the option to get solid same colour as the front on the back and sides? I don't recall seeing...

    NGD - Not everything is black and white! (My 3rd and 4th Carvin DC800)

    Wait, are you telling me I can order an Carvin without going through a dealer now a days even if I am in Europe? Happy double NGD, those look sweet. The only reason I haven't picked up a Carvin is due to how they make (made?) it impossible for people in outside of US to get one without...

    New To-Mera Album 'Exile'

    Tom has actually never been a bassist for To-Mera. He's always been a guitarist with them, but a bassist for Haken. I think he's been playing guitar for alot longer than he has played bass. Lee Barrett was the bassist at the start and when he departed from the band Mark Harrington took over the...

    Bands that play sevens with clean vocals..

    To-Mera uses a 7-string and clean vocals. To-Mera is going to be using an 8-string on their upcoming album titled "Exile". Haken uses an 8-string and a 7-string with clean vocals, but on their first album they got two sections in two different songs that use growls.

    To-Mera is a good example of a metal band with a whole load of jazz ideas and influences texturing their music.

    Haken - Tuning?

    Haken used both 7 and 8 strings on both the first album Aquarius and the second album Visions. The use Standard Tunings for both the 7 and 8 string guitars. So that will be B-E-A-D-G-b-e for the 7-string and F#-B-E-A-D-G-b-e for the 8-string. I'm quite curious to know what guitar Charlie...

    I seriously hope this will be made available to left-handed guitarists as well as them making an official Original 7-String Floyd Rose. Currently we lefties are forced to work with the Korean made (not Licensed one but Original Korean made) which is only available to guitar makers and factories...

    Someone told me today " real musicians dont play 8 string guitars)

    Jeff Loomis commented on this from EMG Pickups who posted this picture on their facebook. I have a feeling this thread may have inspired this picture. I just found it funny so figured I'd share (not to mention that facebook post thing in the first post was also an enjoyable read).

    Cool man, I'd love to check out one of these EBMMs sometime so I'd definantly take your offer on that, if I ever find myself in Oslo that is! :) By the way, I forgot to mention before that finish on the guitar is awesome. :) Again, congrats on the new guitar. :D

    NGD! Lefty Music man JP7

    Congratulations on the new guitar. It looks great. It's great to see when guitar companies actually build a guitar correctly and not backwards like all those so-called right-handed guitars. ;) I wish I could try one of these guitars sometime. Sadly no EBMM dealers here in Iceland.

    Left handed 8 string ESP 308 you say?

    According the the information I got through my Icelandic ESP Dealer. They are capable of providing any ESP Standard / Original / Custom Series guitar or bass in a left-handed edition. There is a catch though. There is a certain waiting/build-time. It is usually around 3-6 months depending on the...
