Title: Need recommendations
Post by: Stevepage on September 25, 2008, 09:26:33 AM

Hey guys. I'm selling my 7 strings and going back to 6 strings. I'm looking for something with similar specs to my Carvin.

Neck Thru rounded Super Strat shape
Mahogany Wings
Maple neck
Ebony fretboard
24 frets
Original Floyd Rose
HSS pick config


I've got my eyes on a Carvin already with specs close to those. But incase I don't get the money in time, I'm on the look for something else.

My budget is about £700 maximum. Anything out there?

I think with those specs for that money, Carvin's the only way to go.

The through neck & floyd specs pretty much say Carvin to me, though there may be some older BC Rich models around that may fall into that spec

Set or bolt on neck would increase your options a lot I suppose

An old BC Rich Assassin? Don't think they came with HSS though
80's Charvel Model 6? Can't remember what woods they came in
probably best with the Carvins to get the exact spec
