Xoph's DC400 Pair
Carvin BBS ID: Xoph
Here's a great pair of DC400s. The Sapphire Blue on flamed
maple one is a 1993 model, and has gold hardware, abalone blocks and
a tung-oiled neck. It's also been modded with EMG pickups.
The Ruby Red on quilt one is a 2005 model, and has gold hardware,
abalone blocks, Fishman bridge, rounded body sides and tung-oiled
neck. Note the different headstock shapes, but basically,
despite being 12 years apart, these guitars are surprisingly
similar. |

Here's
an excellent 2005 model DC400T, in blueburst on quilted maple.
Dave says:
"With our 20th
anniversary approaching, my wife realized nothing says "I love you" like
a new guitar. I wanted something nice, but also something different. I
almost bought another guitar at a local store, but fortunately before I
did that I discovered Carvin.
I found my DC400T on Carvin's "In Stock" page, just waiting for me. I
knew instantly it was what I was looking for. I had it in my hands in
three days!"
Other features of this
guitar include a non-rounded alder body with maple neck, ebony
fingerboard with abalone block inlays, chrome hardware, Wilkinson
tremolo, C22N/C22B pickups with coil splitters and phase switch.

DC400TA
The Anniversary
Series guitars are especially nice, and this one is no
exception. It's a 2002 model, with alder body, flamed
maple top with matching headstock and clear gloss finish, and
5-piece maple/walnut neck. Other features include abalone
block inlays, chrome hardware, Wilkinson tremolo and C22
pickups. James says:
"I bought this
guitar in August of 2002. It has one of the most beautiful
flamed tops I have ever seen on any instrument. It plays as good
or better than it looks. The abalone blocks shimmer brilliantly
under the stage lights and the flamed top looks nearly
pearlescent under the lights as well. It is just a fantastic
guitar."

This is a recent DC400,
finished in trans black stain on quilted maple. It has an alder
body and maple neck, and an unmarked ebony fretboard. Other
features include black chrome hardware, and C22 pickups with coil
splitters and phase switching. Frank says:
"I bought this guitar
from a music store/pawn shop through eBay so I don't know the specs
exactly. As far as I can tell it's probably a '96 or '97 DC400. It is an
amazing sounding guitar. I thought I would have change a bunch of stuff
to make it giggable, pickups etc. but all I did was clean and set it up
with some new strings and it's been all good ever since. I did have to
replace the battery holder since the original one was damaged. This is
one of the nicest guitars I have ever owned in 30 years of playing. I
gig with it regularly and it is one of my go-to guitars. Thanks Carvin
:)"
