I still feel for Xeromus.

But, I recieved the rebuild of my '02 DC727 today.
My new '05 DC727.

Carvin did a great job.
Fit, finish, hardware, frets, ebony board, inlays, etc..
all look great.
There's one little tiny dust speck on the back of the headstock.
Smaller than a pin head.
I can live with it. It's so so minor.

No dings, no scratches.
Everything works like it's supposed to.

For those that didn't know.
My '02 developed a truss problem.
I sent it back in to Carvin.
Instead of trying to fix it, they built me an entire new guitar.
All new hardware and everything.
Including a new case.
All under warranty. Save shipping of the '02 back to them.
Not too many companies will build you a new guitar at no cost
after owning the original for 3 years.

Once again my experience has been wonderful with Carvin.
I have no complaints.

Here's the original '02.
Here's the new '05.
a few more pics

That's a case lint by the strap holder by the way.

All I need to do now it set it up to my personal preference.

That's a great looking guitar. Your ebony actually turned out black (sorry Xeromus).I bet Carvin won't email Evan and ask to have this thread deleted.

Oh no! They've put a string too much on it... Those people at Carvin must be dumb...

j/k... looks really nice... I can't see that thing on the headstock you mentioned...

Looks like a pearl. Sweet.

According to my Bassist Carvin is still lacking one string on there basses.

Yeah, again the dot is so small on the back of the headstock it's hardly noticable. And it's on the back. So who cares.

Thanks guys for looking!

its always great when you can get a new guitar and not have to pay for it (well not really....). Now i'm gassing for a carvin, maybe i should go read Xeromus' thread.

Well that's cool. I think I would have been happy with mine if Carvin took some care with it. When they do stuff right I think they make good guitars but they did so many things wrong in the QC department and the customer service department that I couldn't really care less at this point anyway. I wish I could have shown my off, oh well.

I still love pearl white. And my Carvin played really nice despite the super ugly fretboard.

BUT look what I got instead!!
I turned a bad sitution into a REALLY GOOD one!

Nice Guitars!!!

She looks like a beauty, Xeromus.
Congrats.
Play the hell out of her.
