really odd and rare stumble on the Carvin highway) made over the past ten/twelve years or so, well. and the newer "DC150' (that they bore the same model number ALWAYS baffled me as virtually nothing is the same between the two.
The DC6 has horns that are too tiny and stubby, doesn't have that cool aggressive look of an SG or 150. It's a great shape, the SG, and would be great for those who need a light but powerful geet, also consistent with the C/K line with excellent upper fret access, they could do it with 22 or 24 frets as Gibson makes both but the closest the company's come was the old (read: OLD) DC150, the one with the squared body and non rounded horns. The characteristics are just too specific and entirely all their own. This should be done at least twice a year.' Reactions: SDB and RedRock.
For example the splitting of a nice M22 can sound extremely strattish. From the PDF they host online as the 'manual' (linked on every model's page): 'For Carvin guitars with the natural tung oil finish, apply a good furniture oil such as Old English lemon oil and wipe off the excess. It'd be a nice opportunity to also introduce a P90 (like the P90 variants aside from the SG Jr), as well, which is a tonal gap in the pickup spectrum at Carvin. I wish Jeff would put personal taste aside and do something that flirted with the SG shape.
since it's a strat shape with contours I expected less.Ī well made SG is a nice light guitar that is nonetheless full of tone and power if needed.
I will say I WAS surprised to see that their Bolt of solid Koa in the GIS was 10.5 lbs. With my solidbody 150 with no contours and squared, nonrounded edges anything feels light so my body expects it.
