OK, so let's think about this...
Carvin said it's a new design. This could just be "it's 7 and 8 string now!" in regards to the Holdsworth shape, but I think it's more likely that it's a new shape.
Looking at that picture, it's obvious that it's headless. However, I am uncertain if it's a singlecut. The upper bout would have to meet the body really high up on the fretboard, or it could be a dual cutaway. The upper horn could possibly be just outside of the edges of that fretboard "slice" of the picture there.
I'm excited! However, I'll be at NAMM to look at it in person, so I can wait!

It's not going to be a singlecut. If you're launching a 7-string headless, the smart move is to make it a superstrat, and I'm sure that's what Carvin will do.

If this is it, it's most definitely a superstrat.

That's not it. That's the signature guitar of someone who doesn't play 7's/8's. I wish you guys would let that go.

Alan's fingers are too damn long to need an ERG. He just stretches the 7 frets and does it linearly. Now if he was a little person, we'd have our 8 string signature!

I'm slowly learning to accept that Carvin's idea of what constitutes good promotional aesthetic choices is simply diametrically opposed to mine. At least they aren't the only colors the guitars come in.
