Looks good enough to eat.

[Levelhead]

Awesome!

So why is the bigsby opt 50? Are they not usually available on the SH445?

That is quite the capsule ... FOR BLASTING MY GAS INTO OUTER SPACE!!!

Good Lord what a beautiful guitar. There are so many great design specs on this guitar that you put together (I love your inspirations for the build ... that was great), and a very nice touch with the all black ebony board. Carvin knocked it out of the park, they slammed it, and you scored large buddy. Wow, I knew this would be awesome right from your original specs and that mockup; but this blows me away. I'm with the other guys on the detailing at the neck joint, just fabulous.

I want one too.

Super happy NGD, now go and play dat thang all night long!

Cheers,

OMG

Everything about that build is absolutely perfect!

WOW!!!!

WICKED!!! HNGD and congrats!!!

Georgeous!

WOW!! That's gorgeous! Love the color, and the contrast between the clear neck and the black back is killer. I wouldn't have thought to get either option--I prefer a satin or gloss neck and a gloss top--but if I ever get an SH445 I'm taking a cue from you and getting the neck in clear natural gloss with the black back. Great call.

Epic machine. Looks like something The Joker would play before dipping somebody in a vat of lye.

I hope it sounds as good as it looks. That's the Giblet Gravy lookingest of Carvin guitars. Well done

I just woke up and signed in to the BBS, and Wow I love all your comments... I don't know where to start responding other than THANK YOU. It's youz guys' guitars and basses that have been responsible for my Carvin GAS, and this is the place where I had all my questions answered and concerns addressed. So back atcha, my friends!

Fantastic! Great collection of features and choices!
Thoroughly enjoyed the write up and inspirational explanation too.

Purple and gold is always a classy combination.

This!!

You NEED to play that thing in a jump swing band wearing a SUIT that matches the guitar with a big purple fedora and just play the heck out of it. That works for me.

Late to the party as usual & what a STELLAR BASH this thread is & those pics are just.......yea!!!!!

I've seen lots & lots of cool Carvin builds..............Some I would have never thought of or come up with too!

EVERYTHING about this build is just perfect & very, very unique!!!!!

I'm not a gold hardware fan, but again.....It's just perfect on this build & the purple color is just "Howdy Kids" awesome!!!!

YOU sir have built a master piece!!!!! (insert best golf clap here)

I just sprayed water all over my computer. So thanks, I guess it needed the wash anyway. That picture is awesome! If you talk to Mooseboy, perhaps he has a suit or two that might work from his previous years of entertaining and what was the in style at the time. I don't recall a purple one, but I do recall a two toned blue jump suit.

Cheers,

Congrats!! Happy NGD :woot: :woot: :woot:
Royal koolaid! You and Carvin really nailed the details :applause:
I would not have put all those elements together in one guitar(not 'cause they're bad, but because I'm not that talented :D ) the design choices work SO WELL TOGETHER :applause: :applause: :applause:
And, your influences/inspirations are great too!
Cost of guitar? X dollars
Anguish of waiting and wondering if you made the right choices? Painful
The look on your face when you open the case? PRICELESS :drool:
Very well done, my friend... And I agree completely with Truedog, that your masking around the neck should be STANDARD FROM NOW ON!! Hear, hear :applause: :applause:

[RockCrue]

Now THAT... is awesome!!!
