Any Carvin DC127 owners?

[Metaled1020]

Awaiting the arrival of my Carvin DC127 i won off ebay. I`ve only had one other guitar (Jackson) in all my years playing that was a neck through and that was so long ago i don`t remember much about the differences. (from bolt/set necks) Also the original Carvin pups were changed to EMG`s which is cool with me. Anyone have a DC127 and if so what do you think?

Nobody in here has a DC127?

I've played a Bolt plus ... I know it's not the same thing, but I'd think the neck profiles are similar. Very beefy neck, but in a good way. I liked the 12" radius, but oddly enough, I like the Fender 9.5" radius better and you can't beat the Jackson compound radius. But it was still a good neck. But I guess that doesn't help much with the whole neck-thru thing. Still, Carvins are great guitars. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

I had a DC400 a few years back that was really cool. Pretty much the same as the DC127, just active electronics and abalone inlays. The neck profile was similar to my old Charvel Model 6 and Model 5A, almost like the Jackson "speed neck" profile, just maybe a hair thicker.

I've played a few of them. They can vary pretty widely depending on the specs, but they are certainly very well made.

I have this walnut DC-200.. with Piezo pup. It's heavy! (about 14 lbs!) Workmanship is
great...plays like an upper end PRS. Carvin is major bang for the buck imo.

if they came in a 25.5" scale, id own MANY of them.

Very well built, good components, good fretwork on the 3 I owned.

I just could never get used to that scale with my fat fingers :S

WOW,that is a beaut!!! I`m a big fan of Carvin,in fact,they`re my favorite guitar company but i`ve only ever owned their bolt on neck guitars and never a neck through so this will be a first for that. I can`t wait to get it!!

I owned a DC135C



And honestly I prefer the Bolt+ models.. But that's just my personal preference.. I still own 2 Bolt+Cs. A C66 and a CT6C. Carvin makes great stuff when ya get a good one.. I'm sure you'll love yours.
