Carvin Appreciation Thread.

Yeah. I think the antique brown would go well with my collection. I have a black schecter 007 prototype, green quilted agile interceptor, flame maple natural topped ltd m-302, and ltd black viper 400.

That probably was pre-ss.org era...

my 727s past and present...

the only one i have now is the blue one. nothing wrong with the others mind you. the black flame one was quite nice as well and sounded soooooo thick, but when my blue one came in, it wasn't getting much play and i sold it to Cancer. the purple one i picked up used and had for about 3 weeks, it was pretty much an impluse buy, and again, it paled in comparison to my blue one and was sold to B Lopez to fund the Agile Septor 27".

i'm really upset with Carvins quality control lately, but i'll never tell anyone to stay away from Carvin, because my blue 727 is the BEST 7 string i've ever layed my hands on, it really is special.

Pazowwww!!!!

Blammo!

No issues at all with fretwork on mine. Aside from the case getting smacked in shipping, which they replaced, I'm happy. My poor UV isn't getting any play time.

And oddly enough, I've become fond of the pickups. My only real complaint is the LFR, but I knew it was on there so I can't really blame Carvin for that. I'm still trying to dig up an OFR7...

^Looks like lava.

I'd eat it.

That blue one must be a really, REALLY fucking good guitar then.

Autofate · 03-09-2008, 07:24 PM

It must be Carvin's blues, because I agree with Ed on my Blue 727, its by far the best 7 string Ive ever owned or played as well. I sold my 91 UV7BK silver dot and a 91 UV777 once the Carvin showed up.

I hate to hear that their QC is going down hill.
I love mine.
In the past year I've had
Hellraiser 7
BlackJack 7
Loomis sig
Ibby 7620.
my Carvin is the only one I still have.
It seems no matter how nice another 7 is , I always come back to this one.
Coming from Carvin it was absolutely perfect.
The Bareknuckles sound thunderous thru the Rectoverb and it just plays so effortlessly.
If I could get an OFR to work on this it would be close to being my dream guitar.
I don't have any new pics so I'll just throw these up.

in it's original form

Lot's of quilts and flame in my house

Here's a shot of 2 Dragonburst Carvin 7's... the 747 on the left is Misha's and the 727 in the middle is mine:

Other than the scratches in the fretboard (Jeff might be right... maybe it's just with the stainless steel fretwire guitars that they mess up the fretboards?

) my guitar came out great and after swapping the pickups I couldn't be happier with it.

They make great guitars and other than really needing to have the pickups swapped (IMHO) there's not much I would change about them. Great body shape, great neck carve and all-around sweet finishes.

I've owned a TON of Carvins over the years... not all 7's... if I can find some time I'll see if I can post them all eventually!
