brian121b Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi, Does any body know what the roundover radius is on a Carvin DC. 727 body? I am also looking for info on the Carvin Holdsworth roundover as well. Any help would be appreciated Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Looking at my DC145... I'm guessing 3/4", but I'm not positive about that. I don't have my roundover bits handy or I'd see which one it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian121b Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 thanks I thought it was more than a 1/2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae3 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Well, they offer two levels of round-over, normal, or crazy extreme round-over. If you e-mail them, they'll probably tell you. I've gotten a lot of help from medium to large guitar companies in the past. They're usually happy to tell you, unless you ask them how to build an exact replica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yeah, I assumed you were talking about the rounded body style. The standard body style roundover is more like 3/8". If you need to know exactly, let me know and I'll find out for you. I'm a mod on their forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian121b Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 It would be nice to know, because I intend to build a 727 type 7 string guitar for my cousins 16th birthday in sept. He fell in love with the carvin after looking at one of my catalogs. Both his parents recently lost there jobs with DHL. And I would like to help them out. And I have been interested in the holdsworth Fatboy. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffster Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I think this might help you. I am building a Carvin dc replica. I took the picture and just scaled it and hand drew it, cut it out the body, and then used a 3/8 roundover. I am very happy with its look. To me, I think Carvin uses 3/8, but if not, its a good start and I don't think you'll be disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) I used a 3/8" roundover on this guitar, and to me it looks identical to a Carvin Bolt: Edited February 17, 2009 by Rick500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
