Thread: Recommend me a new shredder guitar!

Go with the Carvin man! Everyone loves their Carvins.

Shredder is a bit of an odd term realistically... I'd say a good bet for you and it would look sick would be to build a Warmoth Stratocaster the way you like it... Maple top, Bareknuckle 'buckers (Though I'd get the Bareknuckle Irish Tour Rory Gallagher singlecoils myself), AAA Maple neck w/ 'board... You'll build a hell of a guitar for the money... I'd also definitely recommend going for ...

One thing I noticed was that a custom guitar from warmoth would cost $300 less if I bought the same guitar from carvin. So the real question I have is...are carvin and warmoth differing in quality?

Carvin's are real nice, but I doubt you'll get an Ibby or Jackson thin neck...

I don't know enough about Carvin to say but I know Warmoth quality is epic Win! Do you know anybody who has one you could try? Equally if you keep an eye on Warmoth and they're showcase bodies you'll probably see something that fits the bill cheaper than a fully custom one... i.e. Showcase Body Or even something from their bargain bucket... $195? Screamin' Deals

I just checked out a warmoth bass they had at a local guitar shop - and the thing was sweeeeet. That's what I'd do. The neck pocket was toight! Mmmmmmm.

Carvin necks aren't as thin as Ibanez necks, they're closer to standard Jacksons, not the Jackson 'speed neck'. They are very comfortable though, especially the oiled ones. Some companies have painted necks that I find very easy to play, like Jackson, EBMM, and PRS, but in my opinion Carvin really isn't one of them. If I were you I'd get a VWH
