Wow, what did I miss today,, doesn't anyone work anymore? :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL:
 
Well played.

It is missing the poo video, tfridgen is right.
 
Hey Chad, haven't talked with you in quite awhile. How's it going?


Well after 7 months & 3 try's, Carvin finally built me a guitar I'll be keeping. If you remember, the first one they sent me had the wrong headstock. I never posted about the rebuild on here and I won't go into details, but it was more mistake laden than the first guitar. :doh:


This 3rd one is a keeper for sure: The top is amazing (after the first 2 guitars, I kind of fell out of love with the Spalted Maple, so I went with their Aquaburst on Quilted Maple instead) and it plays like butter, but they still managed to get something wrong. :bash: I won't go into it here, but I'm probably going to have to send it back to them so they can fix it. :doh: :doh: :bash: :bash: I don't know what is up with their quality control. I love the guitar, but I'll never order anything from Carvin after this.


Here's a couple of pics of it. There's a few Option 50's (off the book options that void their return policy), the main one being that they let me substitute the DC600'S stock blade-style pickup selector switch with a 3-way toggle, plus let me choose it's location on the guitar (I really like the all chrome switch they used too, I don't remember ever seeing one like it on any of their guitars). The pickups are DiMarzios (D-Sonic in the bridge & Air Norton in the neck):

Wow, that looks great Scott! Glad you got it all sorted out. Nothing worse than having to wait for that stuff. You still killing it on the Axe-FX?

Damn that does look really amazing. Wow.

However for a custom job and a custom price I would not accept anything less than 100% of what I ordered.

I would think a company like Carvin would have much better QC than that.

Seriously looks killer though :thumbsup:
