    NGD - Carvin DC800

    Not exactly NGD, since I've had it for a little while now, but never made a post for it. I acquired this beautiful satin white Carvin DC800 from another member here on ss.org. He swapped the pups to the Seymour Duncan Nazgul/Sentient set. Pretty basic specs except for the black hardware. I...

    NGD: White Carvin DC800 (with video)

    My DC800 has arrived! This is my first 8 string, and also my first Carvin. I've had this guitar for 3 days now and I couldn't be more happy with it. The whole process was great, Carvin had awesome customer service, and the wait was pretty short (around 2 months). I'd definitely consider...

    Dismiss the Situation - Relations (Progressive Metal)

    My band just released this song two days ago and thought I'd share it on here. Hope you guys like it! I used my Carvin DC800 for my rhythm tracks and the leads while our other guitarist used his Ltd H-338 with an EMG 808x in the bridge for his rhythm parts.

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

    But these are! I got hit by the worst GAS I've ever experienced this year. It started this summer. A friend of mine got the DC800, so I went there and checked it out. Within about 30 seconds I was sold, moments later I was already putting in my order... at his place. Couldn't even wait...

    Best passive neck pickup for cleans for 8 string? guitars?

    So soon I am ordering a Carvin DC800, and I plan to take out the Neck-pickup only(Carvin A80N), and leave in the active pickup(A80B) in the bridge. That way I can have the bridge for distorted riffs and the passive for cleans. I know not many people have done this, but some have, and it CAN be...
