NGD: Carvin Bolt-T

[mrp5150]

Got this early last week but didn't take any pics until this morning. I bought it because I really enjoyed the Bolt-T I owned last year and this one is equally nice. The neck is much thicker on this one, but still comfortable and easy to play. I'm a big fan of the Wilkinson trems as well. Pickups are a DiMarzio Air Zone and DiMarzio Virtual 2's which I'll be changing. They sound pretty good for standard tuning, but not for low tunings at all. I might actually put an EMG 85 in the bridge.

Nice flamed top, birdseye maple neck for $500, I'd say that's a killer deal. Nice axe, as always

Yeah. I'm dying for another strat style guitar, and the setup on yours is about perfect.

I honestly like EMG's much more than DiMarzio's. All the ones I've played just have no crunch at all. They're too "round" sounding to my ears and they always sound worse on rhythm stuff compared to lead.
