Interested, definitely something I'd need to play first though.

 

 

I like how they picked the one younger employee with African tribal ears to hold these for the picture.

Because I am pretty sure the vibe I always get from Carvin is a bunch of crusty old men sitting around a workshop and a new hire comes in and they are all like, "BACK IN MY DAY YOU HAD TO BE ABLE TO TELL DIFFERENT SPECIES OF WOOD APART BY SMELL ALONE TO EVEN MOP THE FLOORS" and they all just chuckle their wheezing old man chuckles and the new guy grows less confident in his abilities and then the same guy that made the comment about smelling wood is like, "But things have changed, was always sticking my noses in places it didn't belong anyways, was the end of a couple happy marriages it was. Ain't that right Bill?"

And Bill turns around from his place at the angle grinder, and half his face is straight up fucking torn off from an extreme luthiery injury many years ago and he says in a somber voice, "I still get to see the children on holidays." And they all laugh. Except for Bill. He might be crying, but you can't tell because half his face is scar tissue. And some guy pats you on the back and is like, "Tell you what. Don't think you're ready for any man's work yet, you just hold up these and we'll take a picture for all those little nancies on that internet thing my grandson spends so much time in his room alone on."

OMG :rofl:

 

:bowdown:

 

According to facebook he's the owner of Carvin Guitars. :lol:

 

Carvin Guitars or Carvin Guitar's Facebook page?

The latter seems more likely

 

I got the impression he's the head luthier.(phrasing, boom!)
Are these available now? I want a 27" for G :flex:

 

I posted this on carvin's post about the new 27 inch DC:
"Hey a while back you guys said you were working on or at least discussing a 27inch CT7. What's the progress on that?"

Here is the response I got:
"Its not something we are thinking about doing."

:noway:

 

It's in the online catalog.

 

I think this came out days after I placed my order for a DC727. :noplease:

 

well, i priced one. it says $1000.
but it makes you buy 2 different $300 options.
all said and done, with minimal features, it was $2 grand.

 

What $300 options? I priced out a totally standard one, white top, black back, ebony board, no inlays, and it came to $959.

 

maybe... I think their customizer thing sucks ass. very confusing. It made me buy a $300 top and a $300 neck.

 

Those are options. You don't have to select either. But their builder does look a little misleading and i can see how many people would think you HAVE to choose those optional extras.

 

That's pretty sexy.

 

She's not a hooker, she's a massage therapist!!!!!!!!!
