My first guitar teacher scored a Carvin Ultra V with Koa. He has EMG's installed and the clarity on that thing was scary, it's not screechy at all just smooth glassy highs while still being full-bodied. Amazing. |

Sounds bad ass! I would say go for it.
My Carvin has the stock alder body and maple neck, and is sounds great. It has a very balanced tone. But you can't go wrong with the mahongany body & maple neck combintaion either. I have had my Carvin for a couple of months, and it's an awesome guitar! Very comfortable due to the rounded body and the playability is just insane. I did not find a single flaw in the finish etc. so the quality is amazing. I have nothing negative to say about it except... Like the guys said, the stock pickups are not the greatest, but they still are totally usable. |

 Someone was selling it on the JCF last year and someone else grabbed it before I saw it in the classifieds. Went for short money too |

That Charvel is one sexy beast.

Koa and maple sounds very different to one another... Have you considered walnut?
