NGD Carvin DC800 (more pics added)

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.

The neck on this (to me) does not even feel like I am holding an eight string neck... it is such a perfect and comfortable neck. I cant compare it to a Wizard neck or any Ibanez neck because I've only ever played one Ibanez in my life (I know, crazy). But it is about 1 inch give or take a tiny bit at its thickest, and contours very nicely and smoothly to the edge of the fretboard on either side. Carvin's necks, out of all the guitars I have ever played, are just in a whole other level of perfection for me. No guitar I've played can get close to the comfort I get with a Carvin neck.

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

Thank you sir!

If youre talking about the "black gloss back and sides" or the "black sides with blackburst back" then no I did not choose either of those, and if thats not what youre talking about then I'm not really sure what you mean then and yes, this is the deep triple step black stain flame.

thanx, you answered all my Questions.

No I hate you for showing this guitar.

I need one to keep living damn it!

I was into the market for an 1000$ agile, but Carvin looks superior and are custom.

my build (one I made one the site) was at 1600$ for one like this... damn you

This guys ST300 has the black sides with black burst back:

and the black gloss back and sides is just a regular gloss black finish on just the back of the guitar.
