/\ there there. buy a carvin for special occasions?
i got my cs6 for me graduating from university.
next time i buy one will either be when i get an actual job that isn't retail or services related (thats all the experience i have though

) or when i get married (both should be this year...hopefully i get a job before that though!

anyways, i cant believe the quilt on this. its perfectly matched and insane:

What I love (and hate) about the Carvin Guitars In Stock page is you gotta be quick on the trigger. There was one guitar I saw just a day or so ago, pondered it for too long (if you call 45 seconds long) , went to buy and she was GONE! I then yelled "KHAAAAAAAAAN!" which seemed appropriate.

the word 'khan' is funnier to me and other asian dwelling folks from pakistan/india/saudi area as that is a family name for a really REALLY large family. and yes, i'm a part of that family

hadi khan here :P

Here's mine (got some others in the past but only this right now), a DC400 Ruby Red bought secondhand and then customized:

I've modded/customized it with these items:
- Dimarzio X2N PU at bridge
- BKP Nailbomb alnico PU at neck
- series/parallel switch for neck PU
- phase switch
- kill switch
- removing the active & integrated circuitry
- tremol-no
- Punisher like truss rod cover
- 0.68 string gauge custom 6th tuner Sperzel

Good guitar, with good neck and sound.

soliloquy · 01-15-2012, 05:08 PM

/\ whoa! you better be calling that the 'eye of Jupiter!' the quilt pattern next to the neck pickup are insane!

what other carvins have you had?

Xykhron · 01-16-2012, 03:57 AM

owned in the last years a DC135 in plain black, a DC200 in natural quilt finish and a Bolt in white.

The finish of my DC400 is called "burled" if I'm not wrong, like a mixture of flamed and quilt

soliloquy · 01-18-2012, 10:10 PM

some of rob_ls carvin guitars that he used to own?:

Spamspam · 01-21-2012, 12:36 PM

That one would be so nice if it didn't have that god forsaken wilkie on it. Beautiful, but I HATE Wilkies, that is my biggest deal breaker.

soliloquy · 01-25-2012, 10:55 PM

carvin should bring this back!

/\ yes, carvin is doing black binding on guitars that carry bindings...but only on special request. they have to flip the turtule shell binding over to get the black look

would love to see a white CT with black binding
