Re: Unofficial Official GIS Thread: Part III
The difference between the two is EXACTLY what I mostly dislike on the Crescent vs the CT. That edge. Reminds me of the cheap PRS SE line. Current Carvins:
2010 Bolt (Candy Red Metallic) 2013 Bolt Plus (Koa) 2016 Black n Blue VSEVEN 2017 TT SCB6 Wish List Some sort of multiscale 6 HSS with RAD ASH JB Numbers Guitar (July sale has given me the itch!)

Re: Unofficial Official GIS Thread: Part IIII think the studio-style lighting blasting in from the sides is catching the texture of the brushed finish. They definitely don't photograph well, if that's the case. The alternative is scuffed pickups...which is more likely with a brushed texture.
I like how the fretboard looks like it has a subtle burst/fade to it from red to reddish orange. Still wouldn't get one, but I dig that aspect of that one. Return to Kiesel Guitars / Carvin Guitars Photo Gallery Who is onlineUsers browsing this forum: No registered users and 4 guests |
