Members EllenGtrGrl Posted August 22, 2009 Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 Another thought is try a 7 string? 25.5 scale. You can do everything on the 7 that you do on the 6. You had to mention a Carvin 7 string didn't you Ken? Way to go! :poke: All of this Carvin talk is giving me Carvin GAS. I've been debating getting another Bari or a 7-string (since it's sonically more flexible than a baritone guitar is) for my next guitar (I miss the subsonic lows my old baris used to give me). Carvin + 7-string = hellllp!!!!! My GAS is in overdrive!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aliensporebomb Posted August 22, 2009 Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 I just realized too that it reminds me a little of my old Heartfield EX-2 with the dark stained top: I think you're going to dig it. I wasn't aware of the diamond inlay design choice availability, I also understand they have a new fancy inlay style for that model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just barely manage 6 strings. Sorry, I'm not THAT ambitious. Say, you're a Carvin historian. Didn't Carvin offer a 25.5, Strat shaped guitar years ago; maybe the late 80s?

Members Wolfboy1 Posted August 22, 2009 Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 HNGD I think it's hot!!! Like another poster mentioned I love the diamond inlays! I am a huge Carvin fan and would like to add another to my stable one day. Great choices:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other Carvin I can think of wasthe BC130 back in '90.http://www.carvinmuseum.com/decade/90-guitars.htmlIt was a bolt on. I don't recall there ever being a 25.5 neck thru 6 string Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kherman Posted August 22, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 On another note, there is the current DC150.http://www.carvinguitars.com/catalog/guitars/index.php?model=dc150 Which is a 22 fret, 25" scale neck thru. So, it's a little closer to what your looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading a little review of it in a Guitar mag when it came out. I recall the guitar having 3single coil pickups but no pickguard. It might have had a Floyd but I'm sure other options were available. I believe the body wasn't the pointer profile Carvin but more Stratty. Could it have been a bolt-on? I just can't remember. I'm thinking late 80s at best early 90s. Don't think it was around very long. BTW, those DC130s are pretty cool looking. I have to say, its a wee bit on the dinky side for my 6'4" frame. Still, the samples they have on that link are beauties! The all maple has that understated elegance I admire but that figured walnut is stunning. Something like that on a ST300 or Bolt Plus body is really what I'm looking for. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my man, you were close. You were just one year off. The guitar I was thinking about was the LS175 which came out in '91 and disappeared soon there after. It did have a 25.5 neck-thru design and did sport 3 single coil pickups. http://www.carvinmuseum.com/decade/images/91-ls175.html It appears that this was a pretty good guitar but just failed to catch on. Pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members humbuckerstrat Posted August 22, 2009 Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 Those ST-300s look great, I just noticed them in the latest Carvin catalog I got. And the neck heel looks awesome on them, with a lot of upper fret access. HNGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kherman Posted August 22, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 Thanks, Leopard and Hum. The access to the 24th fret is effortless. No hinderence to the hand at all. Even though the '89s have the sculpted hump, those are pretty effortless too. I'm still in awe everytime I open the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members scolfax Posted August 22, 2009 Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 Nice! I didn't see how much it cost. I've been gassing for a Charvel San Dimas - how do you guys think this compares? Looks aside, pickups and neck joint seem like the most obvious differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
