Thanks guys!
I've only played it for about an hour or so but I'm really satisfied so far. I will definitely need to make some adjustments to make it suit my style better though. I'm replacing the pickups and I'm going to install thicker strings. The only problem I have is that it's too noisy, I'm not good with electronics but I think it has something to do with grounding. When I touch the strigns or the volume pot the noise stops. I'm going to have the guitar tech have a look when I change the pickups.
Ευχαριστω!
It still has the stock pickups but I'm replacing them with a dimarzio crunch lab (bridge) and seymour duncan '59 (neck).
The price, including shipping and custom taxes, was almost 2000euros. I got it in 10 (looong) weeks. Unfortunately carvin recently changed their policy and they sell guitars through dealers so the price is a little higher now.

That thing looks beautiful. I'm a big Carvin fan myself. What neck wood is that, walnut? The Diamond inlays look really good. By changing their policy do you just mean overseas? I believe you can still buy factory direct in the states.

Yes, the neck is 5 piece walnut-maple and the body swamp ash.
And yes, sorry I wasn't clear before, I meant overseas.

Thanks man.
About the woods...I have a schecter which is mahogany and wanted to try something different. I had the jeff loomis signature model from schecter in mind when I chose to go with ash. I went with the walnut/maple because walnut is supposed to be a little less bright than maple and carvin guitars are already known for being bright sounding guitars...plus it looked cool
