Thanks guys ! and yes samark, it is a birdseye maple ;0. Chrisharbin, I posted a NGD on it about 2 months ago, but never posted pics in the Carvin thread ha

Hope I don't offend any Carvin purists, but does anyone know if Carvin has plans to incorporate Hipshot hardware? I'm kinda curious try a hipshot guitar to see what all the fuss is about over their hard tail bridge and their open gear tuners just, uhh... Look cool

 

[mbardu]

Don't they have a Hipshot bridge on the new DC7x actually?

Might be a sign of things to come.

Their locking 19-1 tuners are very good already though.

 

[TheWarAgainstTime]

The DC800 and DC7X have Hipshot bridges, and you can swap the tuners afterwards if you really want to, but the Carvin locking tuners are actually really good

Very nice! Got to love that tung oil finish!
That's a flamed koa top, right? And koa neck with maple stripes?
Almost got the same one myself, except a sandwiched koa/maple body instead of swamp ash wings.

What kind of finish does that have?

^ Tung-oil neck and body.

DC600 order put through

Enjoy the wait. It will likely be a slight bit shorter than you expect and when you get it, your jaw will likely drop a bit

I got my infamous Carvin postcard. Due 3/31. Meanwhile, the Guitars In Stock page taunts me. TAUNTS! Goddamn made for NAMM guitars.

Holy crap what wood is that?

 

[guitarmadillo]

What kind of finish does that have?

And what kind of electronics too? Is that synth access, piezo and active eq?

 

[Cloudy]

Holy crap what wood is that?

Thatd be Black Limba, new wood option on all carvins ( or most of them at least.)

 

[Reganito]

I've got a bolt kit a bass kit and one of those Cobalt acoustics they used to sell. I love them all. I even like the c22b humbucker in my bolt kit.

Ill just leave this here.

It's not going to be me, sadly, as I have the reverse inline headstock and no Floyd order but I can only pray my DC600 has an ass like that.

Thinking the thread needs a new and sexy Koa-splosion pic...
