the only only difference between my carvin and the DC127 is the pups. The neck is fatter then ibanez and rounder radious fretboard. If you choose the the tung oil neck finishe they have to sand the neck down more then usual, so its a bit thinner. Thats what i got. The neck is sexual, it may be fatter and rounder then my pgm but its probably more comfortable, plus has a way beefier tone.
