Damn, that thing looks sick! (except it's backwards nyuk nyuk nyuk)
Congrats!
SCB6 vs TL60?
Pulling together my first Carvin order and am seeking input from anyone familiar with both models. This may have been more appropriate under a different forum, but I doubt I'd get responses from the people I most want to hear from.
If nothing else maybe PM me with your thoughts to help keep from derailing this thread?
Thanks all!
mbardu: I have seen most of those guitars at some point, never realized they all belonged to the same person. I love that green SCB and Dc600... and the Vader. And the C66. I see you replaced the Lithiums in the Vader with "old" Carvins. Interesting choice!
At first the Lithiums didn't really work for me. Waaay too harsh.
Hence the swap for the M22SD/Holdsworth pickup combo.
They are the best Carvin makes in my opinion and some of the very best regardless of brands. Very vey few pickups I like as much as that combo, save for BKP Warpigs and the PRS 57/08s (totally different range).
But weird thing, the Lithium work VERY well on my Floyd guitars and/or in lower tunings.
Quality is going to be the same between the two, so choose based on the options and looks that you prefer.
Some things off the top of my head: The SCB can have a Floyd, can come with the 2 volumes / 2 tones control layout - the TL60 doesn't have those options. On the other hand some people prefer the more 'traditional' TL shape and/or don't like the bevel on the SCB.
Personal choice! I'd vote SCB, but there are also some very nice TLs out there!
I can't think of anyone manufacturer that does a neck-through semi-hollow.
