g. Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 Somewhere on Carvin's website forums, I saw mention of such a gallery. I think the forums have a search facility. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoneTone Posted June 6, 2001 Share Posted June 6, 2001 Originally posted by plastic nut: What do you mean? I thought ebony was a dense bright wood. plastic - GOOD ebony, like Grade I ebony, is dense. There are 400+ species of ebony and there are other grades that some instrument makers use that isn't so dense. They use a black filler to close up slits in the grain and use a coloring/dye to hide the lighter streaks in the lower quality ebony. My guess is that Carvin uses Grade I African ebony, the desireable ebony. As for brightness, I always found norther rock/hard maple to be brighter, especially if it has a poly finish. But ebony holds its own, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lug Posted June 6, 2001 Share Posted June 6, 2001 Many thanks Mr. Wiseman. I didn't find the exact model but the body looks just like a koa DC200 guitar intro'ed in 81. I'll have to get the serial # to narrow it down more. You can stop now -jeremyc STOP QUOTING EVERY THING I SAY!!! -Bass_god_offspring lug, you should add that statement to you signature.-Tenstrum I'm not sure any argument can top lug's. - Sweet Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Friedland Posted June 7, 2001 Share Posted June 7, 2001 Lug, You could always email someone at Carvin with a request, they probably have a database of serial numbers. I saw the weirdest thing the other day at Chelsea Guitars (I'm in NY visiting my mom). It was a Carvin guitar neck set into theis bizzare contraption. I can't describe it, but I'll take a picture of it tomorrow, the guys at Carvin will love this! ------------------ www.edfriedland.com www.edfriedland.com The Bass Whisperer Bass Whisperer TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
