A'ite, I'm taking a break from sevens to focus more on six-strings. So, here we go. I've got a Carvin DC747c with the following features:
Maple neck, mahogony body
Koa top/headstock overlay
Double locking trem (Original replaced with OFR)
Locknut (original replaced with OFR nut)
Clear finish
Abalone block inlays
Stainless steel frets
Engraved truss rod cover ("The Menace")

I replaced the pickups with a Custom/59 hybrid in the bridge, a dimarzio blaze SC in the middle, and a '59n in the neck. This is a HUGE improvment over the stock pickups.
As far as the floyd, the original carvin unit felt a little cheezy, and seemed to add a bit of "hollow-ness" to the tone, so I ordered an OFR for it and had it installed by my luthier, who did an excellent job. The Floyd Rose unit feels much more solid, and made the whole guitar sound much more natural.
I paid about 1200 dollars for this when I had it made by carvin about a year and a half ago. Add to that the pickups, the floyd, and the work I had done, and I ended up spending around 1600-1700 on this axe.
As of right now though, I'm asking $800 shipped CONUS. This includes the OHSC.
PM me if you're interested.
