Devirginized: My first seven, a Carvin adventure! (56k = an hero)

virstulte · 04-26-2008, 04:09 PM

So chaps, I decided it's time for me to stop settling for 6 and be awesome instead. The adventure begins...

OK, to kick things off, you gotta set the mood. Yeh, some Nevermore should suffice:

Turning the corner into the parking lot, well worth the 50+ mile drive so far

OH GOD I'M ALMOST THERE (right next to MAX MUSCLE to add that extra bit of brutal)

Gettin out of the car, gotta walk in the front door first. I mean it would be awesome if they came out to greet me and rolled out a red carpet, but Carvin's customer service is still aight I guess

Also this new kid working there was I think more excited than I was, i think ehs a pretty cool guy. eh opens my case and doesnt afraid of anything

Wait for it...

Damn you max for taking a blurry picture, but BAM! Dragonburstgasm!

Oh oh the headstock...

This pic is more sufficient:

The store manager likes my guitar too, if anyone decides to check out the Sacramento Carvin store, you'll find my pic on the wall, czech it

Gotta try it out now! V3 full stack should suffice.
I like my guitars how I like my women, perfect 10s, strung up tight, with my hands around the neck:

(old joke is old, etc)

Now on to pretty pretty shots

I dunno bout you guys but abalone dots + ebony + stainless frets + awesome setup = win

Mine next to Max's Schecter 007 Elite (that mnemonic guy)

Max hates all the switches and doodads and bit bobs and whatnots but I <3 em, and they're conveniently placed, seriously, never get in the way yet very accessible

needs a pic with flash in order to show the true depth and awesomeness of this top with a single point light source

And I gotta say the Carvin Logo looks bitchin in abalone on a nice matching headstock:

Dramatic angle, dusty, but oh so pritty

And finally, my baby loves the sun!

To conclude this picstory, here's the complete rig

Overall, so worth the 1800 I spent on it. I opted for the "match a top" option and got better than I expected. D-Sonic 7 and Air Norton 7 will be goin in this baby soon!

first!

looks just as awesome as it did yesterday when i set up your trem

Codyyy · 04-26-2008, 04:14 PM

Oh what the fuck man. I can't have Carvin GAS again...

That's very hot. But how does it sound? SPECZORZ? Also, what is the "match a top" option?

telecaster90 · 04-26-2008, 04:22 PM

Jesus christ, that thing is HOT

virstulte · 04-26-2008, 04:22 PM

Sounds pretty good, but the carvin pickups sound kinda funny, which is why I'm changing them out. They have sort of a single coil-ish characteristic to them, I can't really put my finger on it.

Also not to mention I'm used to EMG so passives are kinda out of the ordinary for me, Definitely sounds good though.

And the "match a top" bit is where you pay an extra hundred bucks to send Carvin a picture in email and have them match the top in the picture as good as they can get it. Tbh my top in rl is more awesome than the pic I sent them.

Thanks guys!

I certainly would not call this particular guitar an "axe" more like a club. Whereas Noodles' KxK would run through an emo, spilling his insides for a quick death, this blunt mace would bludgeon the unfortunate effeminate soul, breaking bones, bruising muscle, and causing internal bleeding to lead only to a slow, painful death
