tell me all about your Carvin custom shop guitar!

[muudrock]

that is a gorgeous guitar!

yeah i meant all mahogany with a quilted maple top and maple fingerboard

Thanks.

It will be hard to find somebody that will put a maple board on a mahogany neck. I think there is too much of an expansion difference between those woods and the glue will not hold.

for reals? ugh that bothers me.. i was looking forward to a maple neck for once but i dont want an overly bright guitar by having maple on maple.

Carvin neck throughs are overly bright as it is, IMO.

I've not found that to be true. Got 2 neck thru's now and both of them are warm sounding and they have stainless frets as well. The whole "Carvins are bright" thing really stems from their pickups and electronics more than anything IMO.

Ive got an 80's V220,
Red, Kahler, Duncan Full Shred.

Ist & only guitar I ever bought brand new.

I kinda stumbled around finding the right PU for it because it IS naturally bright, but the FS works well!

Great guitars at least from my experience. Pickups are ok, not quite as bad as some people make them out to be but I swap most pickups out anyways on stock guitars.

The feel on my DC727 is excellent and it is very resonant. Solo licks seem to just hang and it stays clear.

I have no idea where this bright thing is coming from, mine didn't sound bass heavy but it wasn't overly bright at all? I got swamp ash for my body with a maple neck/ebony fretboard and it sounds very full to my ears.
