Members Pepi Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 I could care less what a guitar looks like if it's a 'player' Just remember, Most of the fat and ugly girls at you guy's gigs could care less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Anomaly Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 For the Carvin haters in this thread, I'd actually be curious (I'm dead serious) on your critique on my guitar. I love it no matter who says anything about it, so, please, be candid, I won't mind at all. It's just morbid curiosity. I'm talking looks, not features.

I love it no matter who says anything about it, so, please, be candid, I won't mind at all. It's just morbid curiosity. I'm talking looks, not features. No silver sparkle paint. No gold hardware. Unique, but not ugly headstock (IMO). Tasteful zebra pickups. I dunno what color it is, but I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ke2 Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 Where headstocks fail?Anyway, they have a nice selection of options. It's close to where eagles dare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wok Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 I just can't get past the headstocks. Just all look like headstocks that you see on cheap budget guitars. Not too keen on the fact that you can't choose 3rd party pickups instead of those hideous looking Carvin ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too keen on the fact that you can't choose 3rd party pickups instead of those hideous looking Carvin ones It's pretty easy to swap out the pickups. They have quite a few headstock options these days. The carved top headstock is meant to look similar to the PRS headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BrendanO Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 seriously, you consider that bad? carvin makes some awful looking guitars, but that one isn't even in the running. This. I mean, the V headstock and a strat body isn't great, and I'm not a fan of silver or sparkle anything, but that really isn't an ugly Carvin. There are some really poor looking ones on their website, and I know someone who had to be talked out of (I {censored} you not) seafoam green-to-silver burst. The OP guitar is merely misguided.

Members theAntihero Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 While i would never deal with them after my bass players amp debacle, i really think they should have some SD'd or something for pickup options, their stock pickups are awful.

Some of their guitars are ugly, but that's more akin to user error, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many different Carvin pickups have you tried? Something tells me it isn't even half of what they offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive played a handful of their guitars, mostly their HSH guitars without the covers, they have all been pretty bright and/or brittle sounding to me. I havent tried any of their newer covered p'ups though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members purpledc Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 hmmm, I guess they eliminated that option on their full line. You used to be able to get binding on nearly all their models. wrong, they have never offered full binding on any of their line. It is only the couple all ready mentioned. The only binding they have offered is the natural binding effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only binding they have offered is the natural binding effect.that could be. But I know some type of binding look used to be offered at a hideous option cost. It used to be in their catalog's option list.But you couldn't order the binding along with rounded over edges, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
