Specs:

CT624 C floyd rose guitar
Option 50 black limba body
Quilted top
DTS purple
Holdsworth headstock
Ebony fretboard
Abalone diamond inlays
single volume, no tone
c22b & J zebra w/ cream rings

I also ordered a cream TRC yet to install. Anyway its simply stunning and no more words.

That guitar has a sexy backside.

Beautiful guitar. An excellent choice I must admit. Now take that rug, make some pants out of it and join an 80's cover band.

Nice the top resembles my Peavey Wolfie..but that back ...wow!

[Hellbat]

I like it, too bad it's a set neck and not a neckthrough, but for me that just makes it a 9.75 out of 10. A 1/4 point deduction for the neck joint!

I bet that sounds amazing. I like the way black limba looks better than the normal limba. Grats!

[Robert Hendrix]

Simply amazing! That quilt is just incredible, and the back... Well, there are no words.. Nice.. VERY NICE!

Thanks guys. I was worried about this build. Carvin usually has some really killer wood. But every now and then you will see them put a top on a guitar that just makes you scratch your head. I had an image in my mind of what I wanted it to look like and I had an image of an epic fail. I tell no lie when I say that the guitar actually came out better than I had hoped. I was very nervous opening the case. Then when I saw what they picked for the top and the the back I literally started jumping up and down yelling "they knocked it out of the park!" over and over again. I still will open the case and simply shake my head in disbelief. Carvins are always nice guitars IMO but this is a one of a kind. And I can only imagine how much this would have cost me from anyone else. It wasnt cheap mind you but it was definitely less than a PRS, or other higher end production guitar.

Carvin puts out damn nice stuff at a fraction of what the other custom shops charge.

Indeed they do!

Like I said on the Carvin Forum, Tim, congrats on that purple beast... it's a beauty!
Still loving that V3M I bought off you, too!

[MetalDaze]

That turned out great!
