The Carvin 7XX Club!

[Eptaceros]

thanks! it's a dc727, i'm amazed at how well it came out visually and sound-wise. I might change the bridge pickup at some point, but it's certainly not bad. The walnut and koa add an interesting flavor to the sound, almost "twangy", yet full-bodied...individual notes have a very distinguishable attack and dense chords sound very open w/ crisp clarity, you can really get a taste of the full range of notes.

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

Yes.

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

That explains it!! Thank you! I'll try the proxy thing, and if the price is right, I'll send you a PM! I'm thinking Ran or Carvin.

^ How's that relevant to the Carvin DC7x7 thread?

I do already have two Carvin 6 strings (CT6 & CS6). They are both mahogany body, maple/mahogany neck, and maple top, and I love them. Thought I would try something different this time with the walnut. Can't wait for it to get here in 7 to 10 weeks!

This thing is sick! Only problem if it was mine is that I don't think it'll get much playtime as I will just keep staring at it all the time LOL.

@WiseSplinter:
Did you pay extra to guarantee this high figuring in the spalt? The spalted tops I have seen from Carvin have been hit and miss IMHO.

 

[NickS]

That Spalted Maple does look incredible. Beautiful guitar!

Nope, no extra fees, guess i just got lucky I have seen some others that aren't as highly figured (at least not that could be seen in the pics), so i'm not sure how they choose them Very happy with mine though

 

[Stuck_in_a_dream]

So no winning the lottery for you, I can tell you that you consumed all your good luck on this top

Congrats on this amazing guitar, enjoy it.

Does my DC700 qualify?

I'd Buy That For A Dollar

 

[space frog]

Prolly planning on getting a DC800 this summer since I love my 727 so much, any of you guys have one and got some feedback for me about it?

 

[hiltz171jim]

Here's my DC727

That is gorgeous! There's a guitar in Carvin's in-stock section that looks almost exactly like this, I probably would have bought it if I hadn't just put in an order.

Speaking of, I got my card a couple days, my 700 should be here July 19 according to that. So excited for my first Carvin and my first seven string!

I had to do a double take when I saw that GIS, I thought it was mine for a sec.
