Carvin 2015 - New Models & NAMM Thread

[MoshJosh]

All my guitars are 22 fret, and I never miss the "extra" 2, but a bolt 24 might just be temping enough. . .

Carvin Lee Mckinney Signature 6 and 7 strings, looks like DC600/DC700 is the base model, with Piezo floyds.

I really dig the specs on these minus the inlay. Curious what those will run. I always hate when stuff leaks prior to NAMM and you have to wait until after NAMM to find out how much it will cost.: lol: I AM IMPATIENT! Either way, those look pretty tasty! What I'm really wondering is how those headless hipshot bridges feel on the Vader. If they're comfortable I'm likely heading forward (ha) with ordering one ASAP!

Grabbed that one off CarvinBBS. I'm sure there's gonna be a lot more fun photos coming up.

That's pretty sweet! Bet that thing is heavy as a motherfucker though! Doubleneck 7 string better be chambered!

Not sure where this one came from:

Facebook confirmed: JB Numbers available Feb 1st for orders.

Oh man. That lemon lime quilted Vader looks stellar. On first glance, I didn't even notice the cut off of the maple cap where the forearm contour is, and even after noticing it doesn't really bother me. I don't know how I'm gonna decide between one of those or Strandberg OS. Decisions, decisions.

 

[MetalThrasher]

Awesome! Guess it's almost time to order another Carvin! Now all I have to do is sell one or two of my other Carvins which will be hard for me to do . I really want a Vader 7! I wish they would make the JB numbers guitar in a 7 please!

 

[Cloudy]

Well Im buying that JB24...damn.

 

[HaloHat]

Thanks for the pix!

BUCK!!! Great photo of a great guitarist!

Sad because I never did get a 7 string ERG V from Carvin.
Happy because I know I will be getting one from Kiesel Guitars

Request of Kiesel Guitars - Please have your serial numbers make some kind of sense and somewhere where it can not be easily removed like it is on my DC7X's jack plate.
Inline 7 string headstock for Kiesel's?

So you met Buck? How awesome is that!

Totally! I don't really play 6s anymore. Though, I want to buy that one just because it's always been one of my favorite designs. And it's Jason!

 

[MetalThrasher]

For those that have / had headless guitars? How hard is it to find the proper strings?

 

[Necris]

I was staring at the SCB and realized how cool that could have looked as a headless. Also, the Kiesel/Carvin thing is going to confuse me for months on end even with the explanations readily available.

You can just use regular, single-ball strings. In fact, you'll have to use single-balls since nobody (as far as I know) makes double-ball strings for 27" scale length. Hopefully the Vader will sell well enough that someone will start making them.

 

[Black Mamba]

Hot!

Saw this on the Carvin forum:

 

[timbucktu123]

any info on the pricing of the lpm models ?

 

[LordCashew]

Inline 7 string headstock for Kiesel's?

Yeah, I'll take an inline pointy headstock on my DCB7X.

 

[Fathand]

Any pics of the new Greg Howe model yet?

 

[kevdes93]
