now that is a pretty axe. Congrats

Nice. It kind of looks like one of those private stock PRS models, other than the inlays.

That's kinda what drew me to it. I was wanting to build a PRS-ish guitar when I got offered this in trade. It was near perfect for me. Just needed a few "me" tweaks to complete it.

I think these are so cool looking. Bet it plays great too - most Carvins do. I'd love to try one out some day.

Looks good I give it a thumbs up.

Dude, you always end up with some great guitars. Kudos to you.

Thanks, man. I don't really end up with them though. I keep trading to find what I'm really looking for. This one is damn close.
If this guitar had a slightly thicker neck and wasn't string through body it would be perfect. Gonna find it hard to let this one go though, I feel like she's a winner!

I've made some really bad trades in the past looking for the right guitar for me, made some good trades too. Always wanted one of these (or a PRS in this style) and could not pass up the opportunity to grab this when it presented itself.

That's gorgeous. I've been tempted to order a CT6 before. Carvin makes great stuff.

nice look guitar!

I got my custom truss rod cover and it looks even better than the pics the guy sent me!
Am I allowed to plug the seller here? He did fantastic work, and I'd love to share with my JCF bros if it's alright?
