Hey regarding the 8 string with gold pickup cover question, I discovered that EMG has a few new models. Just search something like 8 String Pickup Gold on eBay, can't remember the exact names. (you might not like EMGs that much but, the more you know haha).
Ah you're right! They do have gold covers on their MetalWorks series, I forgot.
Thanks so so much for answering, your input means a lot to me. You're a great person
Thanks man :)
I want you opinion. I've came to the conclusion that I don't want my kids raised in US. So I'm just going to buy a house in France, and they will be raised there. Good idea?
I'm not exactly the right person to ask since I don't live neither in the US or in France, nor I have kids :)
I'm weak in solos and from a year ago I feel I'm ruining in a circle, so any advice to progress ?
That's not an easy answer :) practice as much as you can, focus on a clean execution, and listen to as many guitar albums as you can to get inspiration! Try to "internalize" what you like and make it yours
What top and headstock finish (apart from natural maple) goes with a maple fretboard? Any other color or wood looks kind of weird to me :/ I think you actually got the best wood combo on your old DC800
I actually think despite how good my dc800 was, the overall look was getting boring pretty fast. Maple goes perfectly with a lot of finishes but blue is a safe choice :)
do you like jimi hendrix?
Never listened to him that much but for sure I dig his feeling
If I sent you a guitar like that as a gift, would you do some death metal covers for youtube? :D
If you send the butterfly I'd play the shit out of it :)
It's definitely a good 7 string but not to the point where I wanna buy it...just don't need one :)
DUDE thanks sooo much! I didn't know they had a guitar builder thing that actually works! Can you help me choose a top for the DC800? I'm scared to pick flame koa and spalt maple because they can be inconsistent at times in terms of looks
Flamed koa is very hit and miss, I'd discard it. However, you can specifically ask for an over the top spalted top and they will definitely deliver it!
are there any 8 string pickups with a gold pickup cover?
not that I know of, but you can order 8 string BKPs with gold poles/screws
Not my thing to be honest, too metalcore-ish and Les Paul shape means Gibson for me, and nothing else
I feel weird asking, but how much does a carvin 8 like your previous one cost approximately if you custom order it? I see used ones for $1000 to $1500 but I think they're more than that?
Just use the virtual guitar builder on their website and it will also tell you the price for each custom option!
