Carvin Vader

[gunshow86de]

I want it, now please.

 

[mnemonic]

Not really a pretty bridge, but I like the guitar!

Carvin.com - Guitars, Amplifiers & Pro Audio

yeah, Carvin if you could go ahead and stop directing international traffic back to the homepage no matter what link I click, that would be great.

For other people not in the US who can't see the page;

looks awesome.
didn't know it's a neck-through, though. I'm out

Wait, neck-through is your make or break? Huh, that's unexpected, haha.

The fact that I don't have $2000 (yeah I'm included conversion/shipping/customs/etc along with my estimate) makes picking a side of the fence a lot easier for me. I mean, I really don't like 27", but there's a part of me whispering "try it... you might like it... you've only played bari-scale 7s, not 6s..."

I hope they dont spend the first 3 days showing the space beneath and on top of the neck lol

And that's exactly what they did.

 

[Guitarrags]

Too bad no bolt on option

It's always interesting to me to see where players draw their hard-and-fast "nope" boundaries.

I hadn't realized that the guitar top was visible *through* the bridge. That and the non-drop-top would certainly constrain my choices if I were speccing one of these.

 

[HurrDurr]

Dammit I want to be bitter about the scale length, but I still want it...

Same

 

[brutalwizard]

Carvin gas Is too much right now hahhaa.


Whats the speculation on cost guys?

 

[Khoi]

eh, it doesn't do much for me to be honest

I'll definitely check it out at NAMM though, maybe in-person it'll be awesome

 

[stevexc]

I take it the orange 8 is FrancescoFiligoi's? I really dig that color combo, tbh. Wish there was a better shot!

 

[Santuzzo]

Wait, neck-through is your make or break? Huh, that's unexpected, haha.

Yes, as weird as it may sound, that and (maybe even more so) the finished/painted neck.

 

[Insinfier]

IM INTO THIS

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

As someone who's been wanting a baritone 6-string from Carvin...

 

[stevexc]

Yes, as weird as it may sound, that and (maybe even more so) the finished/painted neck.

Oh, it's no less valid than my scale-length issues, don't get me wrong, haha, just not one I was expecting - usually it's the opposite complaint, is all!

On the bright side, I don't see why this neck would be treated any differently than any other Carvin neck... you've typically got the option for unfinished, IIRC.

 

[porknchili]

I'm curious as to how many people are going to order the Vader on the first day it's available.

 

[gunshow86de]

Yes, as weird as it may sound, that and (maybe even more so) the finished/painted neck.

You have the option to get tongue-oil or satin finish on the back of all Carvin necks.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Two things...

1) I'm surprised to see absolutely no mention of Carvin in that picture.
2) I wonder if DiMarzio is going to be pissy about them using cream bobbins.

 

[porknchili]

Lol, I just noticed that Carvin is using the Jcustom headpieces on the 6 string models instead of the Hipshot version.

 

[HurrDurr]

You know what I think would be a sweet mod? A pickguard, similar to the ones on the Strandberg Varberg.

Looks like it's time to file my tax return.
