Carvin DC145 Custom

Custom made DC145 with neckthrough body construction and a matched overall finish. Both humbuckers have split coil option which is perfect for crystallized clean sounds and less distorted tone. This was my second Carvin experience back in '99 and it's a superb guitar in any way, probably my favourite.. Very tight and definite tone. Done a lot of practice sessions and giging with this one through the years...

Carvin DC145

Another DC145 model with neckthrough body construction and matched overall finish, except back of neck which has a clear "mate-lacquer" finish. This neck gives the guitar another feel, completely different from the other ones. It's equipped with a five way toggle switch with the option to split both humbuckers in the 2nd and 4th position. Its tone is very warm and juicy, has a little more low end than the “Greeny”.

Scale: 25" (24 frets)

Carvin DC747

DC747 seven string model with neckthrough body construction. Quilted maple finish on front of body and headstock. While back of body, neck and headstock contains translucent finish. This one also has split coil option on both humbuckers. It's a very dark and heavy sounding guitar still the lower H is very definite. Definitely the best sounding seven string guitar that I've tried because of it's clarity and incredible playability..

Gibson Les Paul '79 Custom

Extraordinary good Les Paul crafted in 1979. It is by far the finest Les Paul that I've tried to date. Nothing has ever been changed from its original parts as well. The neck is a one piece mahogany neck and is glued into the body. Or else it contains a matched overall translucent finish with a multiply binding around the body and headstock. The sustain in this one is unbelievable. The tone is fat, warm and heavy sounding but at the same time very defined which is kind of unusual for a Les Paul.. I use drop D tuning on this one most of the time.



Finish: Translucent, Wine red
Body: Mahogny w/ Maple top
Neck: Mahogny
Fingerboard: Ebony
Mechanics: Tune o' Matic, Gibson tuners
Scale: 24.3/4" (22 frets)
