not sure if the people taking the headstock image seriously are next-level trolling or next-level gullible

Pretty half-assed job, I know, but I'm pretty terrible at this sort of thing.
It's an overlaid size comparison between the Vader and a DC7X, to give an approximate idea of how big the thing's going to be.
Thanks! That doesn't look like an epic small body fail to me.

My complaint with the HH is that it was way too tiny for my tastes, but this is a lot better. More traditional for my tastes.

Man, carvin really needs to go ahead and slap a headstock on it, that way people can make good on their threats of pooping their pants in rage, and punching themselves in the nads.

I mean, that was just a direct challenge to Carvin, wasn't it?
YOU'VE GOT A JOB TO DO, LADS!

Where we're going we don't need neck pickups.
Yes, it would. I keep wondering if they will, since Chris has been notably silent throughout this whole debate. I'm honestly not sure if he's stopped laughing anytime in the last few days.
A brief digression: I wonder if the concerns over inharmonicity are the result of the popularity of the djent sound, which boosts the extreme treble end to highlight the string attack and which would tend to exaggerate the out-of-tune upper harmonics of thicker bass strings. Other genres seem not to worry about this so much - I've never seen the word "inharmonicity" mentioned over at ilovedoom, and a bunch of those guys are tuning way down on relatively short scales. *shrug*
To be honest, I don't think it's exactly just the djent crowd, but it's definitely not something the doom crowd worries about.

Buys guitars, sometimes plays them
Top horn actually looks pretty good, I think. Probably should redo all of the 700, 7x, etc top horns to be like that. Those guitars would become about x1000 more attractive.

Well, actually I said "dick" which does not produce gametes and therefore is technically not a 'nad,'
but I was only playing. It's obviously a headless. I'm just so excited that I keep coming back to this thread to check out all the buzz.Bravo, Carvin, on your marketing for this one

I'm probably beyond redemption, but thanks anyway.
Based on that Instagram photo, the next flashpoint of criticism will probably be the disappearing top on the forearm cut....

Phew, I was worried it would only be 95% headless.
Hmmm... I dunno how I feel about the forearm bevel. The top wood cutting off like that looks a little... harsh, I guess? Poor photo to make a good judgement from, though. Dig the finish.

For those that like headless guitars....I hope this turns out to be exactly what you want it to be. I've never liked headless guitars personally...but there's obviously a fanbase for it and hopefully Carvin/Kiesel is pleasing that base.
