    That is so cool. The zebra wood board is pretty sleek. Hard to tell, but is the neck satin or high gloss?
    I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

      It's gloss. And you were exactly right; Carvin's gloss is very nice and non-sticky. I don't think I'll do satin again.

        Cool. The gloss is indeed nice and slick, but I also do like their satin as well as tung oil.

            Nope. It's very similar to a Soloist. I can't deal with the Ibanez skinnies.

                I don't want or need another guitar, but these Carvin posts always make me reconsider that notion...

                    That's good to hear.

                    Man I keep coming back to get another look at this awesome guitar. It just looks amazing!
                    Those stock pickups stay in it? I read mixed reviews on Carvin pickups.

                      Thanks! They're definitely staying unless something comes up that I don't foresee. To my ears, they actually sound better than the stock Duncan JB's in my Soloists and DK2M. Seriously. They're about the same level of hotness, but they have better clarity and articulation. I've heard from people who swapped out other pickups in their guitars and installed Carvins.

                          Yeah. I'll try to get some shots of them together this weekend if I have time and if weather permits.

                            Cool one, congrats.

                            I'm curious - what does zebra wood feel like as a fretboard?

                              Wht model pickups did you get on that? I have the M series in mine, I'm debating picking up a set to put in one of my Agiles
                              In the future though I need to remember to not buy guitars while on Nyquil
