Hey Tempest...yeah that is a CS6 from Carvin. I LOVE that guitar. I have to get used to the neck on the Warmoth a little more and tweak the action...but the Warmoth will be just as good.

Thats cool. Money is an issue for sure right now. Glad to hear you have a LP already. They are awesome. I have a custom shop Gibson and the Warmoths have better tops and sound just the same, imo. I got myself into it knowing I really didn't want to sell my amp. Should have never got it because...

In a weird, sad and true twist of fate I have decided to part ways with this guitar. I was going to sell my beloved Marshall JCM 2000 DSL half stack to fund this. But when the time came to list and entertain the sale my heart was in my stomach! I can't do it when I already have a Warmoth and 5...

More pics....sounds awesome!! Rosewood neck. Great dark type of sound. You can really hit the strings hard and push the dynamics with PAF type pickups and the right amount of overdrive. Its really vintage Les Paul all the way...

The name on the truss rod cover is from the movie The Natural. A classic baseball movie about an ageing ballplayer who is the man. Roy Hobbs was the natural...much like a maple neck...hence the name "Roy Hobbs" I got the cover off of eBay. Not sure if they have those auctions anymore as I bought...

Right on about being broke I'm sure. Right around $1350 shipped. All together over $2000 worth of materials...I'd say its a good deal. I didn't have to build it either...but I have to say its really fun to assemble...which I think is the point of Warmoth to a degree...but I don't mind on an axe...

Here is Warmoth #2 for me. Its on the way very shortly. Landed it second hand. Always wanted a green Les Paul and Gibson could never carry out a top/color like this. So glad I found Warmoth and they sound as good as they look. This has Seth Lovers, Rosewood neck and board, Grover tuners, 5A...

Hello All, Its finally done! LP body from the showcase, solid flame maple bengel burst with solid mahogany back. Seymour Duncan '59 neck, Custom Custom Bridge. RS Guitarworks pots and caps. Planet Waves tuners, gold hardware. Warmoth Pro 25.5 scale AA Flame maple board and neck with pearloid...

To be honest...I was THAT guy when I saw guitars from such brands like Carvin...but after a close friend of mine plays them and plays them well...I got the idea that the logo on the headstock is for people to fodder about on here but your playing will take care of what really matters. I really...

It is a CS6...its a Tigers Eye deep triple step stain. Here are some other pics. I was going to send it back before the 10 day return policy...but when it arrived and I saw it then I played it...there was no way it was going back...I will find a way to pay for it and my Warmoth build, too...

Good noticing...they are Dimarzios...the bridge is a Tone Zone and the neck is a Humbucker from Hell. The Tone Zone's screws are on the black coil for some reason. I thought at first that maybe they sent me the neck version...but its a bridge. The HFH can go either way so I turned it to match...

Cool project...take a look at mine. Not a huge EVH guy...this is a tribute to him because he buried his original with my hero Dimebag. I'm a Les Paul guy so I put it on a guitar I'll play... :glasses9:

I don't like strats for me...I have owned 3. A cheap Squier that I modded around with...a nice mexican olympic white deal and a totally top end American Deluxe in Sienna burst...but every time I had a strat it made me want to turn it into a Les Paul. As far as the other guitars...the heritage...

Here is my Carvin CS6M that I got about 2 weeks ago....love the pickups actually and I was very, very fearful. I like messing with electronics like many of you...but I have come to find that my taste in pickups really falls in the "Vanilla" category. Not too strong a la SUPER DISTORTION or...
