The Carvin / Kiesel thread

[Samark]

Carvin are killing it! Anyone see their pics of the day and the video of Jason Becker's maple board with the number inlays?

No posts in 2 weeks plus? Outrage. Here's one Jeff Kiesel is bringing to January NAMM.

i think those stripes on the body ruin it.

V220 lava quilt update! WE HAVE PIC!

 

[Toejam]

Oh, that lava is another winner!

You know, as much as I love hybrid colours (blurple/indigo/violet, blue-green/green-blue, wine/merlot/red-purple), red orange is one I've never taken to. Alas.

Got my DC800 coming to Pakistan with my friends RG8. Yes, Misha converted us to the blue

I love striped - 5-piece necks

Sweet! Correct me if I'm wrong, but my guess is you don't see too many 8-strings in Pakistan?

Well, since the music scene is so small, everyone knows everyone. I only know 1 other guy with an 8 (besides my friend getting that RG8) and 4 guys with 7s. I am fairly certain I am the only guy with a Carvin guitar here. So yeah, one of the few people here with an 8 and proud

In a way, yeah... They should've aged those too, because it kinda clashes with the rustic overall look it has.

I think Jeff did a one off just to show off a bunch of the new options like the zebrawood board, antique ash treatment & ebony block inlays.

I've seen a lot of different 5-pc neck showing with the antique ash wings. Jeff seems to really dig it, but like some others here, it feels too... clashy to me. For me, either all ash on top, or treat the neck too so the effect goes across fully.

Just saw this on Jeff's Instagram.

LOVE the horn bevel!!! Was hoping once I saw the Xccelerator bass that this could become an option for the DC6/7/8 line.
Looks like it could be a future option, or maybe a one off for a Kiesel.

Killer!

Somehow reminds me of Mayones Duvell, in a good way. Love the top and apparently has satin finish, which has become my favourite since my first Carvin.

wrong topic.

Anyone know if it would be possible to option 50 a single pickup on any of the CT or CS models?

It is not possible - or at least it was not possible up until a few months ago.

The construction with super deep neck tenon make it difficult to do in a clean way, so the only real way is to do aftermarket.
