I am looking to get one built in the next few months and was wondering if you guys would be able to give me feedback on how yours have held up and if possible post some pictures up of these great looking guitars!
Thanks,
Tom

To be honest, the rounded body takes away from the look. Add tung oil neck. I would also suggest getting laminates(walnut) in the neck as well as changing the body wing wood, mahogany probably. That's just my opinion. I like the woods to oppose eachother to add more drama to aesthetics. Their triple step finishes are excellent as well. They certainly compete with prs when it comes to finishes.
So the rounded body makes it a bitch when sitting down?
I wont go for a 5 piece neck, tonally I wouldnt hear a different and like I said I wont see to anyway
I have the specs i am happy with but I jut want to see what Carvin owners would have avoided if they were to do it again![]()

I have quite a light touch so the SS isn't really vital to me for longevity, I have an 8 year old Epi with no wear on it so its not really an issue, maybe next time![]()
