Members mparsons Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 EDIT: Two years later and I don't play guitar much anymore. Anyone want to possibly purchase this guy? I put in an Dimarzio X2N and Liquifire, DiMarzio clip lock straps, and it sounds/plays better than the day I got it. Guitar is in, after 8 weeks of horrible waiting! Quick review... Looks: {censored}ing awesome. Playability: {censored}ing awesome. Stainless steel frets and satin finish make for an incredibly smooth and effortless experience, and the neck is very comfortable. It's bigger than my 6 string guitars, but its not difficult to adjust to. Sound: Acoustic sound is really good! But the stock strings are kind of small (56 for a low A? No thanks). I need to put thicker strings before I give a full review, but so far it's really great. Plugged in it sounds great as well, which I wasn't expecting given Carvin's pickup's terrible reputation. ... Oh right, pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AizenX Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 Nice! Carvin 7's are pure win! I did change out the stock bridge humbucker on mine b/c the bass was too flubby. It's weird, all my other Carvin's are great stock, but for some reason they didn't get the bass definition on the seven string's right, at least not on mine.
