NGD! Awesome Quilt Content! (56k Joke)

MikeH · 09-06-2011, 12:45 PM

Decided to make the jump back to a 7 after hanging with the 6 for a while (which I loved dearly). Scored a great deal with MastrXploder on this 2006 Carvin DC727. I know it's been passed through a few sets of hands here, but it's still an awesome axe. On to the pictures! Apologies for cellphone-quality pics:

So far, I'm loving this thing. This is my first neck-thru I've ever owned and I'm digging it a ton. The neck profile feels great, although I'll probably take some steel wool to the clear coat to make it feel more satin. Not a big fan of painted necks. Also, I will be changing these pickups out. Not a big fan of Dimarzio Blazes. I'm thinking either the CL/LF combo, or making the jump to some covered BKPs of some sort. He was also nice enough to throw in a brand new Tremol-no, still in the box. I'll get around to installing that soon. Big thanks, once again, to MastrXploder! Great guy to work with. I'll have a clip up of this monster soon enough.

Wow normally i totally hate dark wood finishes and the round Carvin shapes, but this one is totally nice! enjoy it and make it your bitch! : )
what PU`s are built in there?

ps: never EVER lay your guitar into the grass again, k??!! otherwise i will steal it from you.

MikeH · 09-06-2011, 12:54 PM

The current pickups are Dimarzio Blaze 7s, but I'm not a big fan of them. They'll be getting changed soon.

And my grass is very plush and comforting, thank you.

Hybrid138 · 09-06-2011, 01:35 PM

What woods are those? Looks awesome

MikeH · 09-06-2011, 01:41 PM

Maple neck, Alder wings, Quilted Maple top, Ebony board.

Jakke · 09-06-2011, 01:47 PM

Sweet axe, I agree, Blaze's are not for everyone's tastes.

BTW, anyone else seen that Randy has been in here?

thedarkoceans · 09-06-2011, 01:47 PM

Mr.Randy is there.somewhere.

poopyalligator · 09-06-2011, 01:53 PM

Sick guitar dude!

the fuhrer · 09-06-2011, 01:57 PM

That finish is sexy

MikeH · 09-06-2011, 02:20 PM

Thanks guys! This thing even sounds great acoustically.

I have also noticed Randy's appearance...

JPMike · 09-06-2011, 02:26 PM

That's Super SICK!!

Mattmc74 · 09-06-2011, 02:51 PM

Looks awesome man congrats! I'm a sucker for nice quilted maple tops!

Psycroptica · 09-06-2011, 06:22 PM

That's such a lovely color. Dark guitars are the shit. Congrats!

guitarister7321 · 09-06-2011, 06:27 PM

Very beautiful. Love the color and quilt.

How are those Lic. Floyds they have on the 7's?

MikeH · 09-06-2011, 06:38 PM

So far it's been pretty stable. I'm used to Ibanez trems, so I'm not familiar with LFRs. Not bad so far, though. I'm not a big trem junkie anyways.

djpharoah · 09-06-2011, 06:49 PM

Looks awesome - but without a locking nut you can't really get your Whoop Whoop on.

MikeH · 09-06-2011, 07:09 PM

The tuners are locking, so I can do it subtly. Plus I don't really abuse my trem.

ibanezRG1527 · 09-06-2011, 07:33 PM

holy ....ing carvin. do want!

how well does it stay in tune without a locking nut? i know a lot of people dont put them on and i dont think id trust it

the fuhrer · 09-06-2011, 07:42 PM

I was trying to work out a trade for this but the nut situation made me a little uncomfortable as well.

MastrXploder · 09-06-2011, 08:13 PM

Recording soon!!I never got the chance to put that thing to good use unfortunately

AngstRiddenDreams · 09-06-2011, 09:01 PM

Mmmmmmmmmm

What stain/color is that?

But I thought that *isn't* what locking tuners do...?

I made a similar comment in a different thread and ppl told me that this isn't exactly what they're for. Can someone please clarify this once and for all?

MikeH · 09-06-2011, 09:25 PM

Dunno. They work for me, so that's what I'm going with.

As for the color, I believe it's called Deep Antique Brown.

mikemueller2112 · 09-06-2011, 09:27 PM

It's like a sexy tiger, not just a tiger....sexy tiger.

Congrats
