Yes, though Carvin doesn't list maple body sides as an option, they'll still do it if you ask. (Maple bodies were standard on Carvins up until 1990.) Maple necks are still standard on Carvins and you can get an optional maple fretboard if you want.

I'd actually be curious to hear an all-maple Carvin 7.... hmm....

Niiice! Thanks!

Ok, now : full guitar shots! (we're a demanding bunch here )

As others have mentioned, some of the Stef Carpenter LTD models were all maple. The old SC607 in tobbacco burst and old SC607B in black to be specific.

the limiting factor is my lame-ass photography skillz. although it does hide the niggles....

It would sound nearly exactly like a carvin with a maple neck and maple top! After all that, there isn't much body wing wood left to effect tone (carvin's have small bodies with THICK tops)
