Anyone tried a vader 8 multiscale?

[Wildebeest]

I just realized today that there is a thinner neck profile. I placed my order In April I think. Do you guys think it's too late to change that? I'll give them a call tomorrow.

Necks get done first iirc, so you're likely out of luck. The general consensus seems to be the difference is minimal so I wouldn't stress about it.

 

[Wildebeest]

Thanks for the answer. No worries, as long as its comfortable, I can jive with any neck shape.

So I've been trying to get some progress pics of my build from Carvin but customer support keeps saying they're too busy to take a couple of pictures. I've never dealt with Carvin before so I don't know if this is the norm. Anyone else get progress pics of their builds?

 

[ferret]

It's the norm. The only time you'll get progress pictures, and even then not guaranteed, is if you are doing a high end build with Jeff himself, i.e. a Kiesel edition or K-series.

oh ok, guess I'll keep stalking their fb/instagram in hopes of seeing my guitar then

Welcome to the club I keep checking the daily gallery in facebook just to see if there's a V(M)8 there that looks similar to what I ordered.

Ha same I have been lurking all over. The fact that he posted that green one that was finished the other day and the Burl top one that had alot of the other hardware in it is killing me. I want my guitar so damn bad.

I saw him post some aquaburst flamed ones and got all excited because I thought one of them was mine, then I looked at the bridge and only saw 6 tuners

I check both Kiesel/Carvin and Jeff's Instagram/Facebook like 10 times a day in hopes of seeing my VM8

Honestly I'd be stoked to see any complete multiscale Vaders. That way I'd know mine would be done soon, as I placed my order in the first week they were made available

 

[Severance]

Jeff has posted 2 completed custom Vader multiscales on IG. We may be imminent on the first of the run.

 

[Wildebeest]

Oh boy time to get my wallet ready. I used the down payment option for this one. I doubt I'll see mine on their social media pages because of how goofy my options are. Matte racing green body, pink inlays.

 

[KnightBrolaire]

Depending on how well this vader turns out I'll probably get another one with a flamed maple neck because gottdamn that figuring on the neck he posted was nice.

This one is a 7, but it looks like things are getting close. Should be some NGDs soon.

 

[Fretless]

I'm surprised I havn't seen any KM8's yet. I'm sure we will see some VM8's soon though, and I look forward to seeing those. I almost went with a VM8, but changed my mind last minute.

 

[Absaloms Axe]

i want one so badly!
this might not be the right thread, but is anyone experienced in buying from carvin/kiesel in germany/europe? hope the regular price + shipping + tax + toll is not as scary as it seems..

To me, that looks beautiful. I still wonder why so much space between the bridge and BPU, though.

It's really not that far once you actually see how small they are in person.

This guitar has been delivered. Saw the ngd on facebook.

 

[Wildebeest]

Mine's gonna be delivered mid-August according to a recent estimate.
