I don't think it's possible to build a bad sounding Carvin. I personally think the pickups are the biggest factor in your tone, but I have an alder body, maple neck and flamed maple fingerboard (as seen above) and I get beautiful tones out of mine. Especially up high with cleans. Maple is said to be similar to ebony in terms of tone.

Congrats guys, some beautiful 800s here, I'm so stoked with my ones, I've never been as inspired to play as I have after getting my first one in Feb 2012, best purchase I ever made (besides the other two I bought). I'm just stinging for Carvin to release the passive 8 string pickups...

 

[mr_ormus777]

BUMP...

GOD the gas is so strong... ive been wanting to.trade my sl2h for one, but both the ones on.the for sale are for sale only and that gets me so butthurt. Im just drooling, went from start to finish. Any update on when the passive pickup will be available?

Hi @Erick, that's my video and axe, glad you liked it! However, I eventually got myself another DC800 with swamp ash wings, maple top and birdseye maple fretboard. The tone is radically different and I much prefer this last one, it sounds brigter, more open. I think the biggest factor is the swamp ash wings so I'd suggest that instead of alder.

I recently recorded this vid with said guitar (I ended up keeping all the rhythms tracks from it), check it out, compare and jugde by yourself.

Cheers and good luck

Hi folks,

Allow me to share this review of the great Carvin DC800 8-string guitar. I tried to cover as much ground as possible while keeping it fast and concise. Hopefully with enough close ups and visual details.

I added a rhythm and lead samples/demo section towards the end (you can check the video description to jump directly to any section).

Hope you find it useful, thanks for watching.
