Its New Guitar Day!!!!!!

I just happen to stop by a local music shop not too far from my place and I stumbled apon 3 FULLY Assembled Carvin Bolt Kits. Now being the Carvin lover that I am I had to play all 3 of them. Ive actually assembled 3 of these for friends of mine in the past but only played them for a short moment. But after playing them for about 20 minutes, I picked the best playing one and traded my OLP Baritone for it and some cash. Its in perfect condish!
So yea Im off to play my new guitar!

Pics are here!

Re: Its New Guitar Day!!!!!!

I love it! Its just not for me. I like a Lo-Pro trem. The Axis isnt really compatable for one. And their is no contour for your forearm. I need that.

The YJM Strat is a totally different thing. For me its like apples and oranges. I cant compair the two. Its almost like compairing Acoustic to Electric, for me anyways.

Re: Its New Guitar Day!!!!!!

That's just plain scary,..Seeing my exact guitar there

The YJM strat in same color with white straplocks.

Indeed I have to agree,.. it's apples and oranges with any other guitar.

What are your feelings about it ?
Mine have always been a bit double:
1. I LIKE the way it plays
2. I like the way it sounds ( the sound )
3. I dislike the way it sounds ( the output )
4. I dislike the feel of the trem ( My hand get's caught on it )
5. It looks so damn big

Have you made any changes or have any ideas with regards to these things ?

Re: Its New Guitar Day!!!!!!

I like it the way I have it now. The mods and all.
I have schaller locking tuners, Graphite saddles and nut, Dimarzio Fast Track 2 in the bridge. Pearl Guard.

The only thing I wish was different was the bridge. I wish it was the American bridge not the syncronized one with the 6 screws. The American has 2 anchors like a Wilk or Floyd. Other than that I love it!

Re: Its New Guitar Day!!!!!!

Was replacing the nut a hassle ? And did it damage the neck ( since it was lacquered after placing the nut )

The slot for the D string is too wide on mine.

( was thinking about the saddles too, since they are so rough on a vintage trem )
