Congrats!

Most people seem to say that a more curved fretboard makes it easier to fret chords. I find that I have an easier time with a flat fretboard. To each, their own!

I'm quite comfortable with a flat fretboard. Then again I've never played one with a radius less than 12".

Marnold here is a better pic of the boys with neck showing ,your maple is sweet!:

I have several maple necks and the rosewood is quite nice to

[sunvalleylaw]

Both those guitars look nice, but I really like the maple board! I think this may be the first time I have had pointy envy a little!

Congrats on the new guitar, Matt. I'm still holding onto my Floyd (and have 3 sets of strings!).

Congrats, Rev! Beautiful guitar!

[Monkus]

Congrats Rev, lets hear her ...!!! clips please...?

[marnold***]

I'd love to give some clips but I'm 400 miles away now. *sniff* I'll get some worked up upon my return. By then I'll actually have the whammy bar and my new DVM OD2.

She's a real beaut Rev! Play her hard and enjoy for a long time! BTW, I LIKE red guitars too!

Thus far, I'm really happy. It's doing my 80s-metal heart good.

Ya know somthin ya can HURT your bass player with if he gets outta line !!
That Jackson is COOL though!

[marnold***]

Ascension, I love those guitars! I've wanted either the X or V version of those Carvins since I was in college. Relative to my previous guitars (and most people's guitars on here) mine is pointy. You take the pointy crown though. Now all you need is a Moser!

The front with the strap locks and strap in place, as well as the Ping-made trem arm:


The back to show off the four springs (it came with three installed) and new trem stop:


A close-up of the trem stop shot very low to the floor to avoid glare off the finish and/or claw:

I changed the strings on it today. There's a thread on the Jackson/Charvel forums about dating these guitars via the serial numbers since the numbers are all sequential. To verify the date, I pulled the neck and the pocket said (I believe) 2007.4.08. That means this guitar sat for over two years before finding its way into my hands. It must've been meant to be!
