NGD: Carvin GP7X Purple Caliburst #3/50!

[GiveUpGuitar]

Best top ever? I think so.

 

[Matthew]

This is so good, Jon. Unbelievable!

 

[FILTHnFEAR]

That is gorgeous from top to bottom.

Love the color and that fretboard is just....oh yeah.

I need some purpley goodness.

Impressive top. The guitar turned out amazing.

I'm intrigued by the fretboard finish. Would it wear off over time, or will it be OK? (I don't know enough about woodworking and staining, that's why I ask.) In any case, I guess that with jumbo frets it wouldn't matter if it does (or not).

It's apparently not supposed to, but I'll be a terrible test of that since it's very rare that I'll be wearing my instruments out. It's supposed to be deeper and sealed in a way to prevent it from just rubbing off. And I haven't had any black stain on my fingers in the last few days so it's all good so far!

And the top was a huge surprise, a friend of mine who order one just like me but with their darker maple (roasted) stain got a fat flame that was bookmatched beautifully. I certainly didn't expect it but it's a welcome surprise.

congrats!

love the fret board...

Thanks man! Likewise! We had 3 black options (Light Black, Black, Double Black) and I went with Double Black haha.

My address is in your inbox...

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET looking axe! Really liking that colour combination.

Hahaha, not going to happen but it's always good to keep a positive attitude

Man, that Jeff should've been a doctor with that signature!

I am loving the hell out of the way this one looks. The driftwood look is always very handsome on swamp ash. And I really want a fretboard like that too!

Jeff is seriously one of the coolest guys, and at the same time incredibly professional. Couldn't have been happier with the entire experience. And yeah the Antique finish is absolutely something I never would have thought of but love that it was included.

Smooth! Looking great! HNGD!

Thanks dude!

Gorgeous guitar, the fretboard, top, back..all perfect!

Thanks man! Appreciate it!

Best top ever? I think so.

Hahaha, I'm very happy with it

This is so good, Jon. Unbelievable!

Thanks Matt! It was such a pleasant surprise seeing this on the Carvin page and wondering if it was the one I ordered haha.

That is gorgeous from top to bottom.

Love the color and that fretboard is just....oh yeah.

I need some purpley goodness.

Thanks a ton man! Definitely place an order for one if you want they're super cool to work with!

That is beautiful! Bloody hell! Congrats!

Thanks dude

Damn, dude! That finish is gorgeous. Congrats on the new guitar, and I hope these finishes will be available reaaaally soon!

They are available! I think? Haha, I think we were just the first order of guitars to get this finish but you can probably call in and order one in any color you want!

holy fvcking shit. that fretboard man.... i can't ... i....i'm going to cry now because i can't have this guitar.

I REGRET NOTHING

Going in and choosing the deepest, darkest black was a no brainer for me haha. A lot of people think it's ebony but it's just a really awesome stain job.

Insane. Holy f'in shit man. Those Cali bursts are phenomenal.

They are! I can't wait to see what people order with these in the future!

HNGD!!!
gorgeous top and back!!!

Thanks Duvell your name is making me impatient for my Elite 7 hahaha

You have fantastic taste, sir. Congratulations, happy NGD!

Thanks dude

Sorry for the necro but I figured you guys would appreciate this. I filmed a short demo for a small contest Carvin held for the people who got a guitar from this run to make a tone demo of their new pickups. My friends Aaron and Brian both won, so I figured I would share my entry if anyone's curious as to what these sound like.

 

[decreebass]

Sounds good man - what did you win?

 

[Jonathan20022]

Haha I didn't end up winning, their entries were far better than what I put together. It was a contest for us to get another set of Kiesel pickups of our choosing, so 6/7/8 string versions.

You call this a GP7X. this just looks like a DC7x to me.....

It's a DC7X, it was nicknamed GP7X because of the run I joined in on. A lot of people refer to the 50 from this run as the GP7X, including Jeff and the guys at Carvin.
