Members Yarbicus Posted August 6, 2009 Members Share Posted August 6, 2009 That's really nice! Every time I go thier site to fake build a dream guitar it ends up pretty similar. Be sure to give us some more when you have a chance to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members c2rex Posted August 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yes, stainless steel medium jumbo. Odd thing was with the tuners. I didn't really specify, but they added Sperzel locking tuners, even though I had em put a locking nut on it. Seems kin've redundant, but I'm not complaining. The Sperzels are a sort of satin-ish brushed aluminum, but doesn't look terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jds22 Posted August 7, 2009 Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 Awesome. I've had 2 Bolt+ kits. Great guitars. Did you stick with the 12" radius? If so, how do you like it? I was thinking about getting the 14 on my next one but can't decide if it's really worth the extra $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LaXu Posted August 7, 2009 Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 The color sucks IMO. Way too dark and black edges are a turnoff for me. Otherwise looks really nice. Carvin somehow always manages to have kind of a clinical perfection to their guitars when it comes to craftmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Axeslinger Posted August 7, 2009 Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 Congrats!! Looks great!! I'm Carvinless now for the first time in many years... But that color has always been special for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members c2rex Posted August 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 Actually...I decided on the color after looking at an ad for a BC Rich Gunslinger from 1987 that was in blueburst, that I found after looking at one of AxeSlingers guitars. Considered a Gunslinger and a Charvel, but didn't want a maple board and couldn't find the combo of a strat-ish body, 22 frets, floyd and non-maple neck in blueburst ...til I went to Carvin.
