LOL No prob. I find myself playing it more than the regular V3 lately.

Purple rules! When I sent my San Dimas Rhoads to Mike Learn to paint I had three requirements for the graphic: It had to have skulls, it had to have flames, and it had to be purple

That DTS purple looks fantastic on the quilt!

I am thinking about ordering an ST300 with a quilt top, but couldn't decide on the color until I saw your guitar.

BTW, I also only want a single volume knob, but "1 vol, no tone" doesn't appear as an option in the "Guitar Builder" on the Carvin website. Is that an option that you have to call them on the phone to ask for?

GREAT color, love the contrast between the woods/colors. The quality of Carvin's figured tops is impressive. Congrats on a fine machine...

[straycat]

I like it too very tasty.

Yes, it's known as an "Option 50" in their system, and it's an upcharge, probably about $150. I got my 7-string last year with only one volume (push/pull coil split) and one pickup.

Thanks for the info Toe!

I will call them and place my order if the price is right.

Sorry about the thread hijack Tmoran.

[Tmoran]

Yes sir, you have to call them and ask. They may not do it on that model though. The only reason I was able to get it on the CT624 was because Neil Zaza has carvin make his guitars like that so it was all ready in their cnc computer. But if you call ready to place an order they may just do it. Also just so you know I learned the hard way that a guitar wont allways sound "right" without a tone knob. I guess even with it in the wide open position it still has an effect on the tone. So to mimic that and get my guitar to sound how I thought it should I took a 470k ohm cap and then a .047 resistor and wired them in series from the center position of my three way switch to ground. Cap side on the switch and resistor side to the ground. Really straigtened the guitar out.
