Derek Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 What do you people think is better a warmoth 7 or a carvin 7. With the warmoth i would have a lot easier time getting in the pickups i'd want to use. But the carvin would be neck thru. Both are about the same price. But i'm also guessing the warmoth would have a thinner neck? Has anyone ever played a warmoth or carvin 7? I know i don't want to go with a ibanez. Ibanez are too common and don't really like the feel of the neck. I'm more into a strat feeling neck. Quote
custom22 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 I would ask people who have just tried both plain Carvin and Warmoth necks. I have heard good things about both. With Warmoth, you can know for sure what the profile will be like, so you may wanna ask how similar a Carvin neck is to a strat. I would probably go with carvin, because I'd rather have a neck thru guitar. If the profile isnt perfect, you can spend a little time with sand paper on it. Keep in mind that I have tried neither.

custom22 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 You also may wanna check out www.soulmateguitars.com I know Doug from there is on this board, and I have heard nothing but praise about him and his work. Quote
SoundAt11 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Posted August 27, 2006 I do own one of the 6-string Carvin neck-thru blanks, the NT-6, it has a thin and flat profile on the neck. The fretboard width feels slightly wide to my hands, although I prefer narrower fretboard widths where I can really reach around good. The Carvin neck plays very fast and smooth and has a fairly flat radius, so it's nice if you're into going all over the fretboard with your solos. Build quality is flawless, perfectly made. Quote
Prostheta Posted August 27, 2006 Report Posted August 27, 2006 Equally (if you prefer) you can cut down the through neck tenon to make a set neck tenon. Useful if the entire tenon doesn't allow you to pull up an angle over the body, or you prefer to make the body as one complete entity as opposed to stuck on wings ;-) I was considering doing this with the neck tenon I bought from Stewmac (nasty sidemarkers!) but chickened out. Oopsy! Quote
Nitefly SA Posted August 27, 2006 Report Posted August 27, 2006 I have a Carvin neck through 7 and I love the feel of the neck, I have Ibanez and Carvins neck is beefier and still very comfortable. Quote
