SO STOKED.








I met Jeff Kiesel at this past Winter NAMM after cruising around the Carvin booth. Great company, great people, and AMAZING guitars. The CT7 caught my eye and I knew I had to get one at some point. I ended up landing a gig with Mesa Boogie shortly after NAMM, and hit up Jeff about using a few of their guitars in some product demos I had lined up. He sent them straight up to Mesa and I ended up using a CT6 and a DC700. The Mesa guys are still editing a lot of the stuff we shot, but you can see one of them here :





So after doing the videos for Mesa, I knew I had to order one. So here we are, haha.

I made a quick tone test vid so you can hear the stock pickups going into an Axe-Fx. No editing, just raw DI tone.

Absolutely stunning guitar, Joe. Congratulations on the gig, too!

 

[technomancer]

That is awesome

 

[fortisursus]

Boy can Jeff make guitars! This is beyond amazing!

 

[JD27]

That is awesome! Been thinking about doing a Carvin DC7X build, is that color a special option? Keep seeing it pop up on peoples builds, but I don't see it as an option on the guitar builder.

 

[Dawn of the Shred]

Congrats man!

I don't believe it is a normal option, but you can call in or request it in the comment section of your build. I highly recommend the DC7X, man. I played the one they had at NAMM and it felt super comfortable!

I'm not usually a fan of faded type finishes on flame, but that definitely looks awesome! A lot of times they come out looking somehow "flat" but that really makes the detail in the wood stand out. Needs inlays though!

 

[Metal Mortician]

WOW. I love the denim color. Great job!

 

[Hollowway]

Dang IT that's hot. Can we get a side picture? I want to see what's going on with the sides of the body.

 

[LolloBlaskhyrt]

Amazing! HNGD dude!

 

[SavM]

Absolutely stunning Sir, and some fine playing too if I do say so myself!

 

[downburst82]

holy hell the finish is PERFECT!

My jaw is on the floor...

 

[pylyo]

Wow, dude. So much nice carvins lately but this one is most amazing.

Hngd!

 

[michu123PL]

Not a big Carvin fan, but this one is just incredible. That finish is what I would like to see on one of my future guitars.

HNGD!

 

[Garnoch]

AWESOME! Congrats, man! I saw a bunch of pics of this beast on Jeff's Facebook page 5 days ago and was drooling over it.
