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,

re: NGD - Purple SH445
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

re: NGD - Purple SH445
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.

re: NGD - Purple SH445
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,

re: NGD - Purple SH445
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:
