It is carvin's TE Greenburst according to their site. And yes it is a stain. the maple top isn't too grainy which I like.

These two pics show it a little better. Its usually not that bright, except in the sunlight. I may have to take some more soon..I had some really good ones, but lost them a while back



wow it looks rather aqua in that light

[ohio_eric]

That's the greenburst? Whoa. It usually looks darker than that in pics. Your guitar looks a lot closer to teal.

Ya it usually is darker, and I have pics where it is darker. I took those in natural sunlight(vie the window just to the right) and it looks very teal...which oddly I like.

I'll see if I can get some different pics tonight

Here is the bigger version of my avatar.I guess its light sensitive, or my camera is

yes, there are slight differences. the fine tuners on the tailpiece of OFR are flat with the same angle as the body, whereas the LFR is angled back a little. and also the baseplate and sustain block are different.

overall there are many small differences between the two.

hot damn! someone else who likes plain maple tops
a ct7 would own face
and yeah, the OFR sustain block is longer than the body is thick, so unless you have your trem really high up for some reason, it will stick out the back. not much, but just enough to where you need to take the back plate off. also, the right post arm is longer, so the body needs a touch of routing, unless youre lucky and carvin does that for you. like on mine, the original finish is routed in. maybe they used to route for ofr's??

actually, the OFR7 sustain block doesn't even come close to sticking out of the back. my OFR7 is set where the bottom of the baseplate in flush with the top of the body, and there's still about an 1/8" of an inch left before the sustain block would be poking through. i CAN put the cover back on, but there is just slight (very slight) rubbing of the springs, so i leave it off. i leave them off on all me guitars regardless though.

lol thats what i mean. it doesnt stick out quite, but it just rubs the damn plate enough to where i dont feel comfortable leaving it on

i am way too lazy to take new pics. but here's my old pics from my 727 that i'm bout to part ways with. I'm sure half of you have already seen this, but it deserves a part in the thread, right?




i dunno bout anyone else, but when i got my 727 in '06 it was even more glorious than i expected. The finish was perfect and there were no issues with playability or aesthetics at all.

Man do you want some kidneys? ill give you mine for that...Im seriously reconsidering getting an ESP custom, this just looks fucking awsome, just id go for the birdseye maple fingerboard. I even like the D sonic in the bridge

Mine came out exactly like I ordered it, with no issues at all... except for a small paint chip on the headstock due to FedEx' poor handling. The paint chip is now glued back in and is only visible if you look really close.

Here is my weird greenburst 727
