Not everyone on this board talks out of their ass. Some people speak from experience.

Dude, that's why I said, "Mmmmm, potato chips!"  Empirical experience, all the way!

Now I have to go to the grocery store for lunch and get some...

I live pretty close to the new Carvin showroom and have been over there a couple times to check out the new V3M. I've pulled down a DC300 and a Bolt to use while I was checking out the amp. Their guitars, as others have said, are really top notch stuff. Their wood selection is second only to Warmoth IMHO, and I was really impressed with the finish and the sound of the DC300. Definitely go for the Carvin if the W you're planning isn't going to be an every-day player.

What are your thoughts on the V3M? I've checked them out online and think I really want one but I'm on the wrong coast to visit the showroom.

Carvin is on my list of desirable guitars to own. I know guys will think why would a guy who owns a PRS want a Carvin? but it is a great guitar you order how you want. there are not a lot of companies that do that anymore, but Carvin excels at it. If you go to the main showroom it is front of a huge building that is there main plant, the amount of product they have to turn out to pay for that building must be huge.but some how in a day of homogenous blending and stereotypical non custom products, Carvin can offer a top quality guitar built off a order sheet on a one to one basis, and do it in a price range very few can meet. All that and be American Made.
Says something about the amount of profit some guys are getting for their stuff.

Do they do fretwork and all that?
