Jay's
Collection
Carvin BBS ID: Cool Jay
Here's another
great collection from a regular on the Carvin BBS, consisting of a pair of
bolt-neck models, and a custom-made neck-thru model that Jay made himself.
Above
and to the right is Jay's Contour 66. It's finished in
translucent Emerald Green on quilted maple with matching reverse
inline headstock. The body is swamp ash, and the neck is
maple. Other features include mother-of-pearl block inlays on
an ebony fingerboard with jumbo frets, chrome Sperzel locking tuners
and FT6 bridge, and C22B & C22T pickups. |

This
is Jay's Bolt C, which has a highly figured swamp ash body finished
in translucent Sapphire Blue. It has a maple neck with
jumbo-fretted maple fingerboard, and a trans Sapphire Blue V
headstock with drop-shadow logo. The Floyd Rose tremolo with locking nut and other
hardware is chrome, and electronics consist of a pair of C22B
humbuckers with an AP11 in the center position. |

Here
is Jay's NT7 project guitar, built with a maple Carvin neck with
ebony fingerboard and and swamp ash body sides (which was cut from a
swamp ash body blank, also from Carvin). Jay has a detailed
diary with photos of the construction process,
right here.
