The Carvin 7XX Club!

[iloki]

I put in an order for a DC700 yesterday, definitely looking forward to having her in my hands. I had the salesman put a note on it to try for a crazy top. Said build time is around 8 weeks atm.

Here's my DC727

that is just flat out gorgeous!

 

[Cremated]

Wtf? That finish is crazy. Did you opt. 50 that? And the red/burst flame a few posts up is sick. Reminds me of a Music Man finish.

 

[Papaoneil]

The finish is discontinued, I think I'm the 3rd owner of this guitar, but its similar to the mystic dream finish but it has rainbow flake in the finish so you get a very reflective and bright color

Sounds like a killer build!

Here is one of my lovelies:

 

[rgaRyan]

How long do you typically have to wait for one to be built and then shipped? In terms of months, or years?

 

[imlikemike]

I had mine ordered back in January and it was shipped out about 9 weeks later.

 

[iloki]

How long do you typically have to wait for one to be built and then shipped? In terms of months, or years?

I Put in my order at the end of May and my estimated completion date is 8/02. The wait is currently quoted around 8-10 weeks

 

[NickS]

DC727. Walnut top and body, ebony board, abalone inlays, 5 piece maple/walnut neck, greenburst finish, black hardware, Dimarzio D-Activator/Liquifire combo.

Sounds great, plays great, and looks amazing in person

Now for a couple pics, and I already posted an NGD with more pics (here is the link for that).

Hope you like!!

I got mine back around the first of June and never made a ngd thread... so, here it is. The vintage yellow came out looking like gibson's Honey Burst.

Edit: Shitty pic... better ones later

Here's my DC727.

Very cool! The only reason it looks like a honey burst is because you got the black burst edge. I almost went with the black burst on my vintage yellow 7, but I'm glad I didn't.

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

I wish carvin did a bolt-on 7, I would probably order one.

 

[iloki]

A lot of people seem to be asking for a bolt 7 and bolt + 7. Also, CT7's

10 days until my DC700 is supposed to be done

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

Yeah a bolt on ct would be wicked!

 

[NickS]

Carvin should make 7 and 8 string versions of the CT and CS models. I would buy every version if they did, I already have both six string versions. It would awesome if they made 7 or 8 string versions of their TL60 Tele-style guitar as well.

I generally like set-neck or neck-through better, but if they made a bolt version only, I would still be all over that
