Arrival

The Kit has finally arrived, and right during the busiest week of the year. My obsession caused me to find a few minutes to snap some pictures of it and post them. Hopefully, as the construction is done, I'll be able to post on my progress so as to inform all my curious friends and fellow Carvin lovers.

Now for the specs:
-This is a Carvin Bolt Kit, which is a bolt-on neck guitar, similar Fender's ageless Strat design.
-Contrary to most Strats, it has a humbucker in the bridge position, rather than a single coil pickup.
-It is made of Alder (the lighter wood) and toppped with Black Walnut (the darker wood.)
-The tuners are locking, which makes it stay in tune longer.
-A black pickguard and cream knobs are coming in the mail (Carvin doesn't make the color I wanted.)
-I'll be finishing it with Tung Oil, which should give it a nice natural looking finish.

And for the pics upon delivery:

Hopefully time will allow for some sanding soon. It's a very busy week at work and finals are next week, though, so priorities might insist otherwise.
