I understand that, i thought it would be nice to have a CT6 exclusive thread

This was the closest thing i could get to the ct design, using a high quality guitar creator/editor. Check it out if you havent already!

Ah, OK no need to check it, I've got a finished one

 

[Jack Secret]

No pics or anything for 2 months? Blasphemy!

To rectify, here are my 4 DC600's in their glory...

Carvin DC600 Alder

Carvin DC600 Swamp Ash SB

Carvin DC600 Swamp Ash VS

Carvin DC600 Swamp Ash/Flame Maple Top

My next plan is a V220 in mahogany body/flamed maple top/mahogany neck/ebony board in aquaburst...because I really like the aquaburst.

The only Carvin I've had is my newish TL60, which kicks all kinds of ass

All walnut, ebony board, satin white w/tortoise shell binding and tung oiled neck.

As soon as an extended scale is an option for the DC700 I'm gonna order one haha

 

[that short guy]

I may have missed it in here, and if so I'm sorry, but can anyone tell me what the necks on the DC800's are like

 

[Astral Worm]

Well I have joined the Carvin club! Bought this exact model used at guitar center for $400 bucks!

What sunburst is that DC600?

What color is this please?

So..........

I do not want another ibby (nothing against them, I have plenty) and I cannot afford a Mayones. I'm seriously looking into Carvin. First problem I've run into is that a little color swatch doesn't show me what the final product I might want looks like. Second, pups. I just don't know what they are like and I don't want to order a perfectly good guitar and then HAVE to change the pups. Third is I want a satin neck, but it's not quite clear to me if it's going to be the nice satin type of some fenders or ibby (ibby usually requires a light sand and gun stock oil)

There is the 22 vs 24 fret thing too. I think I want a 22 since I'm not the crazy tapper/upper player some of the killer guitarists on this site are.

Other than that, I've got no issue with 20% down and a 5-8 week wait. I'm pretty confident about the quality and the looks cannot be denied!

 

[Pikka Bird]

For example, I think this is a beautiful guitar. Change the head-stock up a bit and I might be into it...

And you know what? You totally can if you order your own. That's the "magic" of Carvin.

 

[OlisDead]

What color is this please?

Faded blue denim with a thin black burst.

Is this thread only for pics? Should I start another thread for questions?
