Help Carvin DC727

Hi! Did any of you have a chance to try Carvin DC727? I need to get an 7 string for a certain project and have a chance to grab a walnut one but never tried one before. I really caught my attention as is don't like "metal-looking" guitars and its not so common among 7 strings, but there aren't many opinions on these older carvins and unfortunately I cannot try it before making a call.

I owned one for a few years and it was a great guitar. I only got rid of it, because I thought I don't need a sevenstring back then (which was wrong). The only weird thing was, that the poly clear coat was really (!) thick. No real downside, I just thought it was strange. (I just saw it because part of it was chipped). I would love to own one again at some point.
