Im about to order another DC800 but im sooooo torn. I have always wanted an all white 8 with everything else black, but i was going through the guitar gallery and there are a couple flame maple umber sunsetburst finishes that could look mighty tasty...

I just read my shipping confirmation email!!! In case your wondering they were roughly 2 weeks ahead of my estimated completion date of 9-10-12. I hope to have this beast by next Wednesday.

I have a white top/white headstock with natural maple body binding, gold hardware, flamed maple fretboard, walnut body, and 5 piece maple/mahogany neck on order. Option 50 for clear finish on sides and back
It. Will. Look. Amazing.
Should be here by mid/late September.

Anyone who called their order in ask the guys how many DC800s they're moving? I know we SSO guys are probably the bulk of them, but I'm curious if they were like, "whoa, we didn't expect these to sell this well!" because it took so long to convince them to put out that model.

For anyone that's interested. I did a soundclip of the Carvin pickups vs. the EMG 808's.

 

[Galius]

I saw a guitar that inspired me to look into a new build. I just got off the phone with Carvin and it ended up being extremely cheap compared to what I thought (i think he added the requested options to come out about half of what they SHOULD have been hehe) so if I pull the trigger this may be the 2nd "sandwich" body on a DC800 so far

 

[frogunrua]

I would love to see someone get a completely flamed out dc800. Flamed neck and sandwhich flamed tops! Would be very nice.

 

[Scattered Messiah]

So, I am getting my Dc800 back tomorrow [hopefully] - with a deathbar and a xbar installed. I just did realize, how much i was missing it

 

[Galius]

After mulling over what to order next I pulled the trigger. Pretty simple scheme but I think it will pop as good as one with a bunch of fancy options. Plus it was schemed after one of my dream guitars builds

^ thanks much for this! I was just now wondering the same thing

Crapload of DC800 in-stocks on the Carvin website if anyone feels the need, the need for speed -y delivery of a DC800.

EDIT: Actually, the DC800s in stock are nothing to write home about, but the DC700s are HOT!

I'm thinking of switching pickups but of course I'll give the A80's a shot before I spend more. Would be awesome if they had a quilted maple board.

How much of a pain in the ass is it to switch the pickups to passives? How much would a tech charge for something like that?

Cheers fellas.

Might as well get a tung oiled neck too. Other than that I say go for it!

I tried to but it seems like I can't if I choose a Quilted Maple top. Maybe if I call they can put it on the order form.

Maple neck, maple body, maple top, maple fretboard?

I could be wrong, man, but I think that guitar would be VERY bright. Maybe, too bright. Who knows though. It will also be very heavy.

It could turn out excellent, though. So, don't take my word for it.
