I'm talking about their custom built guitars ( most of their production models are custom built) that I rate at about 60-70 percent the cost of an equivalent US made high end guitar.ДЄgain, name the model you are talking about! Last points- Carvin makes some do it yourself kits. But, if you want a guitar custom built for you - color, features, etc with playability on par or better with very well made Gibson, EARNIE ball, PRS then Carvin is a great choice.

Not many people know the brand well.not like Gibson or PRS.and as a result if you ever sell or trade you will not get what you think is fair. All my Carvin's are perfect and still look virtually brand new. As a comparison, I'd rate fit, finish, quality above a newly built Les Paul Standard (got one.gorgeous guitar) and at the level of a PRS. I've been playing guitar since 1977 and own about 30 guitars and have owned.I'm guessing.50. Nothing average or cheap or plastic about these guitars.they are truly Made in the USA and top notch.

I put burst buckers in the CT4 from a Gibson Les Paul I had with a cracked neck. My first order was a DC127 in 1998, then in 2006 a California Carved top CT6 (pictured) and lastly another California CT4 (pictured) I got used for a steal. These comments on quality, fit and finish do not resemble any CARVIN I've ever seen or played. If you'll be playing, don't worry about collecting. The only thing is for collectibility, you generally have to choose between collecting & playing. If it ever does gain collectibility, that's just a plus.

Still, you buy a $1200 & the value goes down to $800-900, that's not bad, in the scheme of things. Time has told - it has become somewhat collectible & if I can acquire some period pickups, I can get a premium for it. I was convinced that it was a POS & would never be worth anything as a collectible. If I had the original pickups, I could get around $2K. In it's current condition, I could probably get about $800. Recently, I had for grins, thought about looking up it's value. At one point, I gave the pickups to a buddy, who was starting to get into luthierie. Over the years, I just threw it in a corner in the garage & didn't do anything w/ it (no case either). I had people low-ball me & the idea was that it was never going to amount to anything. I figured that I'd sell it & just get my money out of it. By that time, I had $500 into it, installing active electronics, a Wilkenson bridge, etc.

So, I decided to upgrade it into a great bass, but, found out that no matter what, I didn't like it still. I was playing bass & had custom basses (like my previous mentioned Hamer bass) & the Fender was sub-standard to me, in every way. I got it for roughly $200 in trade, from a friend. I acquired a P-Bass back in the late '90s. You just never know, when it comes to guitars & value. Plus, Gibson & Fender are already charging premium prices for their products. A lot of people don't seem to think that modern Gibson/Fender guitars will never be collectible either, so. How would the Carvin stack up against those when it comes to quality and everything?Д¬lick to expand.well, I'd venture to say, that you'd still be able to get $800-900 for it, I'm just saying, that it's not like an old Gibson or Fender. In case you guys didn't see the other thread, the guitars I was looking at were the EBMM JP6, Fender American deluxe strat, Gibson explorer, and Gibson LP studio. I've read that they're very good but I have never even seen one in person before, so I'm hoping some of you guys have and can help me out here. I have to give up a couple of options I would like to have to save a few bucks but I can get it 98% of where I want it within my budget.ДЄnyway, I was just wondering your experience and opinions on Carvin. I was browsing on there and they have a model called the 'bolt' which is very much like a strat and I can build it almost exactly like I want within my price range. I've seen them for years and have thought about ordering one but never have. Hey guys, I recently made a thread about a few guitars that I am looking to buy within the next couple of months and since then I have stumbled upon Carvin again.
