*Loads of sick pictures*

Oh my!

There is just something about plain wood guitars

 

[Phrygian]

that top is gorgeous!

 

[Ocara-Jacob]

Wow. Too much beauty in this thread. I definitely need to get the cash for a Carvin. Preferably one with a maple neck, mahogany body, walnut top, and a maple fretboard with no inlays.

Reading this thread made me decide that i need to sell everything i own to have a carvin!!

should pull the trigger within a month or two!

I have a question for you guys...

I noticed this not long after getting my DC727, but it never occurred to me to ask about it. Do your fully tung-oiled Carvins (Neck + body) have a satin matte finish on the front of the headstock? I have a flamed koa veneer on mine, and it's the only part of the guitar that has an actual layer of finish, rather than oil.

Now, don't get me wrong; it really doesn't bother me a single bit. In fact, I think I actually kinda like it like that. But it does make me feel rather curious. Is it like that on every fully tung-oiled Carvin or did they accidentally put some hard finish on mine?

Here are a couple of pictures that show that thin layer of clear matte finish:

I'll soon join the ranks of you Carvin owners. I ordered my Carvin DC727 January 31st and I just got an email saying it is due to be shipped out this Friday! I wasn't going to post anything until I got it, but the 2 months of anticipation has gotten to me. Look for a NGD from me sometime next week hopefully.

[Alberto7]

I REALLY like that koa top. And I REALLY like your Carvin . Congrats! Just tell them not to build it backwards next time

 

[Eptaceros]

Thanks man, I'm loving it too! It's greater than I envisioned it! I take back what I said in my NGD thread, the tone of this guitar is apparent even through the cheap 30-watt. This thing sounds like it's shining

 

[Maggai]

When I try to build a custom Carvin on the carvin website, I can't seem to get the price of the guitar up. Anyone else have this issue?

 

[Wolf 6]

Click add to cart, or go to the US site

 

[Maggai]

I get nothing when i add to cart. And when I try to chose USA/Canada as country nothing happens. Can only choose UK, Germany, Brazil etc. And then I get no price.

 

[Wolf 6]

Does it re-direct you when you go to www.carvinguitars.com ?

 

[Phrygian]

I get nothing when i add to cart. And when I try to chose USA/Canada as country nothing happens. Can only choose UK, Germany, Brazil etc. And then I get no price.

You need a proxy server to Get US prices, the carvin website won't show you any prices here in Norway anymore because they don't have a distributor here, and I've heard they're not making it easy for anyone to become one either.. If you use Firefox i can recommend the addon foxyproxy, works great!

Edit: feel free to contact me on PM about this, I know a thing or two about ordering a carvin from Norway
