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 NAILBOMB type sounding pickups or not too weak like vintage PAF...something in the middle. The carvin C22B and C22N do this well. They split and give a convincing single coil sound as well. With a little grit they can APPROACH a strat tone...but of course not the same. Very versatile is how I would describe them. And the guitar is absolutely top notch and I would put it up against anything in the price range of $1800 or so. I think my Warmoth when finished will be right there in quality to the Carvin if not better. A tad different with the bolt on...but the bodies...fit and finish wise are extremely close IMO.
Carvin next to a 2000 Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop Elegant loaded with "Vanilla Seymour Duncan JB and Jazz"...LOL)
My current Warmoth Build: (I let you know how it compares with the Carvin and Gibson when the neck arrives)
