    Pink Floyd mine, but are not requested.
    Controls: 2 volume and 1 tone, 3-position selector.
    Channel trs good, ebony fingerboard, thin enough.

    UTILIZATION

    This is an original guitar, handmade, not well known in our cons, yet good quality of TRS. Although suprieure to NJ from home and pro BC at Jackson as its finishing that level for a just see the instrument.
    For acute, well, for my part I Exceeds I almost never the case 16, so I just shake it to the rhythm, old school, so good solos and I pass tralala . (But hey V requires a password alone).

    UTILIZATION

    This is an original guitar, handmade, not well known in our cons, yet good quality of TRS. Although suprieure to NJ from home and pro BC at Jackson as its finishing that level for a just see the instrument.
    For acute, well, for my part I Exceeds I almost never the case 16, so I just shake it to the rhythm, old school, so good solos and I pass tralala . (But hey V requires a password alone).
    Being given that I bought used, I have never seen the original pickups in Carvin (not bad at all, better than the HZ or after Designed to relationships and chos) .. To see ... Mine is mounted with two SH6, all sends a really powerful sound quality with a harmonic Submitted sustain that I have rarely heard, probably a lot ax on mdiums and treble to bass dtriment ... for my part was perfect for me.

    SOUNDS

    I play a JCM 800 2205 (before 2210), with a MT2 or OD in the background, they get sound (old burial, black metal). An apocalyptic sound working basis.
    It goes without saying that cell has nothing to do with a pair of active play in an ENGL or other reasons that everything is crap, no real surgically synthetic harmonics, too modern, and prcis. ... so far from what j'apprcie. (A does not make many bad microphones, einh).
    on the other hand, if you want to play metal with this kind of scratches on the head, it is to graft prequ'indispensable SH4/6/8 or EMG for fun lovers.
    In any cell is a guitar with a great quality, a titillates the custom shop at BC (I had a Warlock United States) and Jackson.
    Trs of good hardware after all.
    on the other hand, distributed by two dealers, one in the Paris region, the other in the east ... and prices have nothing to do with those announced on the official website ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's a great guitar, not known in France, yet a quality uncommon.
    If you see a hsitez not have is much better than the mass distribution in europe Jackson or BC, no photo.

    Let's go
    Designed by guitar myself but manufactured in the factory to CARVIN states (San Diego)
    APRS Annes Tune O Matic, I decided to bring a bit of floyd, my guitar playing, so I ordered a beautiful pink floyd ORIGINAL (acastillage dor with the system I nutclamp block rope okay!
    Ds The beginning was the guitar feels fast: as such, I order a handle standard and which affects bne of 24 cases (jumbo frets) set great blocks "pearl" Gibson fawn
    The pickups are original ones, can be an extremely simple graphic equalizer choose humbuckers with + or - medium rather ... etc. Practice!
    I chose the bridge pickup with M22T full of bass and treble and well dug in V and C26T (mediums has thrills!) …

    I chose the bridge pickup with M22T full of bass and treble and well dug in V and C26T (mediums has thrills!) for the neck pickup! they avoinent STRID, and I doubt that change is a micro Ebone ide!
    rglages simple knobs: Volume and Tone gnerale slecteur + 3 positions! lambda ... anything!

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is a highway, while all the calls handjob music, touch bne is very pleasing and very beautiful, and then 24 boxes is a musical opening important for me ( I practice a mtal barr who sometimes resort to extreme highs of CASC)
    this guitar is very small, its shape resembles an upside Rhoads but the horns are shorter and the head "flying V" I have chosen is also very small (but still very nice guitar !) templates as I will have to have a big imprssion ukull (which sounds hell)!
    The good sound is typical to this guitar, Carvin's tagline is "the professinal choice" and I want to believe ....

    SOUNDS

    We play with my band style indfinissable sludge metal core & doom with influences unlikely ... my guitar offers a world our style guitar again ... As such I will not play anymore without pink floyd or 24 cases ^.^...
    The sounds produced by this instrument, are the ones I always tried to approach: clarity power, simplicity of use ...
    This beautiful natural wood Carvin is apparent in a branch ENGL "Richie Blackmore signature" that suit him very well! I was in on this final branch HELECTRO HARMONIX a memeory man, 2 pedals BOSS EQ well known that the NS 2 nttoie sound as it should.
    Dfine nothing for me the eternal quest of the sound is ... amen!

    OVERALL OPINION

    My weapon of prdilection since last December I can qu'tre satisfied with this instrument 'of competitions which ....
    Practicing guitar for 16 years (16 years j'avaias wah) I had my hands on BC RICH, GIBSON, EPIPHONE DEAN & ... including the worst and the best, I thought my exploration GIBSON Was a bte indestructible ... imagine this little guitar by myself is a rrussite ...
    Everything is perfect with this guitar .... but there is a little bit from here and another: indeed, the first is a dtail which should emphasize that larger and larger ... this guitar is very small (body and head) we are not all Jason Becker or Marty Friedman! dtail for this, I put 10/10 but the second 'catch' I have come across is that the brand that Carvin was making a mad pub on custom products lifted the prices of these last res Fawn incredible, in fact 6 months ago a guitar (Custom) was worth about 800 and now the same product worth 600 more ... for obscure reasons ... I had the chance to enjoy a custom guitar from 1300 and very well made, despite the now very large j'hsiterait quality of the remake on this final m my choice ... but I invite the curious to go have fun on the Carvin website and make an estimate in real time! it allchant attention!
