Hey, nice carvin...how does the EVO-lution compare to the carvin double allen pole per string pickup? Did the carvin sound fizzy or even noisy? Or did it just have a different voice?

cool guitar?

So you said the 7 string Evo is more meaty than the 6 one? I used to have a 6 string evo and found it kinda sterile.. but im on the look out for a nice beefy 7 string pup.. I might go try some duncans first though

Very nice! I love that color too. I want one just like it.

Congrats! Nice pics too.

Wow... that's classy, shiny, silvery hotness.

Carvin discontinued silver? WTF kind of "custom" guitar company doesn't offer silver as one of its finish options?

It's crazy isn't it?

Its really interesting to see a solid-colour Carvin after seeing so many natural/opaque finishes.... Especially when the colour is the hawt-ness like that!

@ Rindgecore - It`s a very very long time since I played a 7-string RG, but from memory, I believe the Carvin neck has a little bit more of a D-profile, while the Ibanez`s are flatter.

@ Alex-D33 - hehe, yeah. You can really fly on it, so it would suit it just fine

@ Vova - Thanks for checking it out, man

@ Frank - Yeah, I didn`t know what to expect, because it`s a difficult color to capture in a snapshot, but I really like it

@ Dennis - The EVO is a lot meatier than the original C26T. While it sounded perfectly fine, and would`ve worked as a charm (If I didn`t already have the EVO laying around, I wouldn`t have gone out of my way to change it), it was brighter and had less output than the EVO. The Carvin wasn`t noisy at all, and sounded really nice for normal rock/blues/80`s shred. The neck pu is wonderful, and stays just where it is.

@ Nick - To my ears it is meatier, but I`m keeping in mind that the Carvin has twice the neck of the JS model, and also has a lot more body mass.

(from dimarzio: "
Tech Talk: Making a 7-string version of a pre-existing 6-string pickup is not a simple matter of copying specs. Particularly with a high-output pickup, it's important that the low B string doesn't get muddy-sounding. We made the Evolution 7™'s coils brighter-sounding than the 6-string version to make sure this doesn't happen. We then used some of the same technology that went into the Virtual Vintage® design to warm up the sound of the high strings without affecting the low B. The bass strings have a lot of clean power and the high strings cut through without sounding thin.")

Maybe this is the matter? My English isn`t colorful enough to convey exactly what I mean, and also since the guitars are radically different (woods, size, trem vs hardtail etc..)

Duncans are often more organic sounding than DM`s, many seem to agree on that, so if you found the 6-string version sterile, you might experience the same with the 7. I love EMG`s, so that`s really not an issue for me


@ Shawn and Darren - Thanks for checking it out. I agree that it is strange they discontinued the Silver. Since they already had it in their color scheme, I can`t understand why they didn`t keep it?

The 747 on Carvin's products page is in silver So you could probably still get it if you ordered over the phone.
Also, I think DiMarzio will sell you black poles for that Evo for like $10 if you want to get the all black look back.
