francelj Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 Check it on http://borut.rudnix.com/carvin.html Oh, I can't put it down Brian thanks, and thanks ...... I recommend to everyone to try these great guitars. They also have kinda custom shop at resonably prices. Perfect company for lefthand players too . If i'd live in USA i'd collect different Carvins instead of JEM's and Universes. Cheaper sport and more different sounds and guitars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 Looks very very nice! Love it! But I don't like the trem though.. looks like a TRS 7 style trem. Does it work good??? I would prefer a Lo pro 7 or original floyd rose 7 but all in all it's a very beautiful guitar! I would like to own one like that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 I personally love the look of the headstock. The two laminates running through what looks like maple is class. What pickups are in it and how much did it cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francelj Posted March 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 Pickups are stock Carvin pickups. They sounds just diferent . I love them. Guitar cost 1026$ with tweed case. Alex: In next few weeks i am planning to do tutorial how to modify tremolo arm with collar to work smooth. It is simple procedure and 100% effective. On Carvin tremolo is good just like Schaller or OFR. Actually carvin uses on 6strings models OFR, on 7-strings model licensed one (but built with very good quality material) . If i'll have sometime another chance to adopt another Carvin i'd go probably with something like DC127 (http://narchy.dreyermachine.com/DSC00176.JPG ) but with wilkinson and piezo or AE185 (http://www.carvin.com/cgi-bin/Isearch.exe?CFG=2&P2=AE185&P1=GTR ) but with different electronics and finish. I had in past about 200-250 guitars. If you balance price and performance Carwin is winner without doubt. I actualy only changed stock strings (damn, now i know i hate Elixir strings). Just like Brian said that playin' Elixir strings is like playing guitar with condoms on hands I agree 100%. Now i have good old D'adarios on it and i'm in 7'th heaven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
