It's cool that Carvin is willing to do stuff like this.

Thanks! The only thing was I had to void the ten day return policy and had to spend an extra $100 for the "picture match".
Seriously, anyone who would be interested in this finish send Carvin an email. There's a bunch of people on the Carvin forum who are interested in getting it a standard option, if enough people ask they will actually listen which would be pretty cool. I'd end up getting it again as an 8 string

Huh, can't believe nobody posted that Carvin DID make this a standard color now.
Love the sun shots!!! Still say ya gotta paint the pick ups white with that maple board. Or get some Birdseye covers made
Gawd those wiggle frets on the Mayo and other guitars must be a fret change nightmare lol. I sure do appreciate what they do though.
Happy New Guitar day! 100% Awesome

Very very very nice 
I would have personally gotten black hardware and some different specs on the bridge/headstock/fretboard.... but regardless that is pretty gorgeous.
HNGD! Carvin's are always wonderful guitars

I love you man... No homo.
I ordered a custom mayones just yesterday with very similar specs and now I get to see it already!
Great minds think alike, huh?
The only major differences that between our two orders are a Swamp Ash body, black hardware and no inlays. And of course the pickups - but that goes without saying.
I love how well the colour matches the maple fretboard. It was a risk but, seeing it now, I'm damn please that I took it.

Just looked at their site, where are you seeing this as a standard color exactly? I'm thinking you're likely confusing Deep Aqua Burst with this, which are two different finishes entirely.
This is what their site says as of the time of this post:
Bookmatched 4A Quilted Maple Top Finishes
You must select one of the finishes below. Move your mouse over each button to see a color sample.
QTC - Clear Quilt Maple
QEL - Teal Quilt
QSA - Antique Brown Stain Quilt
QSK - Black Stain Quilt
QSR - Ruby Red Stain Quilt
QSS - Umber Stain - Sunset Burst Quilt
QSU - Burnt Umber Stain Quilt
QTB - Sapphire Blue Quilt
QTD - Classic Sunburst Quilt
QTE - Greenburst Quilt
QTG - Emerald Green Quilt
QTL - Blueburst Quilt
QTR - Crimson Red Quilt
QTS - Cherry Sunburst Quilt
QTT - Tobacco Sunburst Quilt
QTU - Sunset Burst Quilt
QTY - Vintage Yellow Quilt
QDBC - Deep Black Cherry Quilt (Includes DTS Finish)
QDD - Deep Dragonburst Quilt (Includes DTS Finish)
QDH - Deep Honeyburst Quilt (Includes DTS Finish)
QDM - Deep Moss Green Quilt (Includes DTS Finish)
QDO - Deep Orangeburst Quilt (Includes DTS Finish)
QDP - Deep Purple Quilt (Includes DTS Finish)

Burst Edges
Burst edges cannot be combined with burst colors, such as Blueburst, Greenburst or Dragonburst. Burst edges are not available on white (W) or white white (WW) finishes.
BST - Blackburst Edges
CST - Cherryburst Edges
SST - Sunsetburst Edges
And/or one of the Finishes Options below:
Flame and Quilt Maple Top Upgrade
DTS finish included with Deep Dragonburst, Deep Honeyburst, Deep Orangeburst, Deep Vintageburst, Deep Tiger Eye, Deep Purple, Deep Moss Green, and Deep Wine.
DTS - Deep Triple Step Stain/Color Process
My guess is that you saw "Aquaburst" and thought it was the same thing, which it isn't. Aquaburst is dark blue faded to turquoise blue in the center:
Not the same as this hot buttered sex of a finish (which could/should be called "Island Burst" or "Caribbean Burst" like it is with many other builders that offer a similar finish):
I'm thinking no one posted that this was a standard color because it is NOT a standard color as of right now.

Yes regarding this, there is a difference between my finish and the now standard Aqua Burst. Mine falls under what has been said as Caribbean burst, thought I find "Lagoon Burst" more accurate. It basically further refines Aquaburst, continuing the fade until natural wood is reached

Holy shit man, that is phenomenal. I was toying with the idea of having a go at a CT7, but seeing if Carvin would do this finish. Such a great looking piece dude, congrats!

Holy mother of bulb, this is gorgeous
The quilt is just unreal, I can´t get over how 3D it looks and the finish may be the best thing ever, period. Lagoon Burst describes it perfectly.
It´s unbelievable how well that turned out, really good move from carvins side, and 100 extra bucks and restriction of the return policy is definitely reasonable.
Also, your POD Farm tone is awesome, which settings do you use?

Gorgeous guitar man. I love those Mayones' bursts. Especially this one and the "Lava Burst" or whatever. Carvin really know how to finish a guitar. Looks as good as the original.
Beautiful finish! Congrats on a sweet one of a kind axe!

Is it possible for a stain to change color based on temperature? Because the guitar came to me cold as ice and the center looked gray/ice blue, and it's obviously warmed up by now. Here's what it looks like as of yesterday. I swear the center opened up in the increase of temperature, allowing the stain/paint to sink deeper into the wood, revealing the natural wood.
