Hey everyone first time poster. Im ordering a custom 8 string from kiesel in a month or so and was originally completly set on the Aries 8. I have just noticed that the DC800 also seems to be pretty damn nice as well and as far as I can tell they seem to be pretty identical in specficiations...
Hey guys, so I purchased this DC800 used on reverb.com almost a year ago, and am finally getting around to posting some pictures and videos of it.
I primarily play progressive metal but dabble with other genres as well, and I typically use a higher-gain djent type rhythm tone on my axe-fx...
Hello, we are a new progressive metal band from Portland, OR and recently put out an instrumental single and guitar playthrough video of the track 'Subconscious' from our upcoming debut album 'The Arcadian Parallel'. We are currently in the studio finishing up vocals for another single, and we...

Anybody else see this? I know the Aries series features a multiscale eight-string, but I guess there's a multiscale option for the dc800? It seems too good to be true. It says the fan is 26-27.5". Neck-thru, if I'm not mistaken.

Hey all, I have decided to take the leap and buy my first 8 string guitar.
I have been doing a fair amount of research and have basically narrowed my options to these three guitars (I am open to other suggestions, though I'm not going to spend any more than the price of the RG852MPB):

I am interested in getting a DC800 soon because I have seen some that look amazing. I am still on the fence about getting a used one or saving up a bit more and getting a custom made.
The used DC800 that I was looking at was made in 2011, and Carvin mentioned that the newer models use...
Brief & Accurate Description Of Gear/Guitar:
Selling this dream of a guitar ONLY because I recently got an offer on a Strandberg that I am taking, and I really have no need for 2 ERGs (although I want them!!). Best guitar I have owned to date. Not one scratch on it, looks just as pristine as the...
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...
Hi folks,
Allow me to share this review of the great Carvin DC800 8-string axe. I tried to cover as much ground as possible while keeping it fast and concise.
I added a rhythm and lead samples/demo section towards the end (you can check the video description to jump directly to any...
As Jeff was finalizing the passive pickups he was messaging me about doing a special build with them for me. I went back and forth between a tasty new finish color (trans-white, lizardburst) on flamed or quilted maple but really wanted to try out the new zebrawood board he had just unveiled. In...

That was a '''fun''' last couple of days. It was pretty worth it in my opinion because along with testing out some new on the market pickups, I also joined the very small club of people who swapped out Carvin DC800 actives to passives, which was an interesting process to say the least. One thing...
Hey all! Happy St. Paddy's Day! I know for some of you it's already come and gone but here in Los Angeles it is still mid day so I figured I'd post my green guitar I ordered from Carvin.
I've been lagging on posting pics of this guitar here for a long time because I used to just lurk on these...
Hey, fellow GAS-masters, look what Smitty just picked up!
I was skimming around on the bay, putting my Lakewood up for sale, and this little dragon caught my eye. I wasn't really in the market for another 8 string....nor am I a huge fan of Carvin, (nothing against them quality-wise, just not...
Hey, guys.
I made a playthrough video for one of my songs off the ep I released earlier this year and would love for you to check it out. I used my Carvin DC800 for all of the guitars in the song as well as my Fender Jazz bass (ash body) for the bass tracks. All tones are achieved via my Axe...

I am parting with an instrument that was very dear to me, and has only been in my possession for a little under a year. I had to make a few choices in my gear however, and it seems this guitar is no longer a part of my playing repertoire.
