Very nice. The only thing I don't like about it is that it isn't mine. :shred:

Does anyone know if the clear satin matte would prevent the fingerprints like this? I like how the satin matte or tung oil looks on natural woods.

Yes the satin finish does pretty much resist fingerprints. Its my prefered finish :yesway:

I'm looking at getting an 8 but wanted to do it 'properly' i.e. not cheap out with the RGA8 and then replace pups, and frankly, this/these just look awesome. I really like the color scheme of the middle 7 string - can you tell me what woods and finishes you have by any chance? I would appreciate it :)

The woods on the DC727 are as follows: mahogany body, flamed maple neck, flamed maple top, and flamed maple fingerboard, and the finish is Carvin's Deep Orangeburst :)

Care to explain your thoughts on the neck? I'm considering getting on of these guys, but I'm used to playing a Wizard III Prestige and don't wanna feel like I'm playing a baseball bat. I understand that with 8s, things tend to get a bit beefier. Just curious what I'm dealing with here.
