At long last, I've found the exact guitar I'm looking for. The carvin ct3. Look at the one with the maple neck in the picture (if you don't see it hit refresh). With some fine tuning of the specifics I think this might be my perfect guitar. I've been looking for a dual humbucker, mahogany body, maple neck and fretboard, hard tail guitar of high quality and a nice finish for a while.. they're hard to find
 What do you guys think, and what do you think of the pickup options? I don't know much about Carvin's, except that everyone has told me they make great gear.Also, besides just the pickups, what would you guys suggest for the most balanced tone options? It'd be a mahogany body with a maple neck and fingerboard, what kind of carved top should I put on it and what pickups should I get for a guitar that can do jazz to metal?

If it has mahogany body and maple neck, it would sound very bright and brittle. You should but some bassy pups in to give it more low end. From jazz to metal - JB pickup is the very cool, but trebly, so it would be wise to check with Seymor DUncan mail support to really choose the best you need.

QUOTE (JVM @ Aug 11 2008, 06:14 PM)  But would it sound as bright as a maple neck to an ash body? I'd think probably it'd have more bottom end than that, right? I'm talking about my strat. I'm kind of aiming for it to be a compromise between the way my strat feels and the way my 'paul sounds. I'm really not sure what to say man. If the wood is denser and heavier, sound is more brighter because vibrations from strings don't get soaked up by the wood. So my guess (and it is only a guess I'm not an expert in area of guitar building), sound will be bright. But as I said it is only a guess cause I can't tell with certain what kind of sound this guitar will produce with new pups. My guess JB will be fine for bridge although it can be a little trebly. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
