Modded my Carvin DC127 (again :))

[kiteman]

At first my Carvin DC127 had a set of Holdsworth pups in it. They're good sounding pups but

no body to 'em, not my thing. Now I have a set of Seymour Duncan Blackouts in it. They're a

little dark but sweet sounding alright, I like 'em.

Now Carvin released their new old stock pups, M22s with red bobbins and black bezels and I

ordered a set of M22T and M22V. Also got new pots and caps from them.

So this is a shot of my DC127 with the blackouts. Gonna be the last time I see 'em.



This is the parts I got for the job.



Here I'll post the completed job.

There, all done.

The pups surprised me, sound like the Blackouts but with more presense. Sounded good.

To each his own, but those blackouts look sick.

Nice job Kite! You happen to be a Bulldawgs fan would you? Keep up the good work! :applause

No, I'm no sports fan.

It would've been better if the pups actually match the body color.

Those are really hard to get in that color since they have been discontinued about 10 years..............These are NOS and I ordered some myself today.....................rumours are they might start another run but who knows.The limited editions of these look sweet for sure and I just might buy the blackouts also if not sold beforehand................................................................................................................................unles kite wants to trade something forthem................................................................

Wha cha got for trade? oke

EDIT: by the way, I changed the bezels (off the Holdsworths) because the bezels on the M22s were angled (for archtops). Now it's 3 bolt and flat. What's weird is that it's louder now. I didn't know that the tilted pups would lose so much.
