King, Ted Nugent, Steve Howe (Yes) and Alex Lifeson (Rush). Semi-hollow body guitars are suitable for legendary artists such as B. The companies newest edition was introduced in 2008, named the SH550 (SH stands for semi hollow), this model has a carved top and it is a true precision semi-hollow custom shop masterpiece. Kiesel-Carvin SH550 Electric Guitar Review - Kiesel-Carvin had a long tradition of producing semi-hollow-body guitars dating back in the 1950‘s. I play it through a Blues Jr.*Update: Carvin Guitars changed their name/re-branded to the name of original founder of Carvin Gutiars (Lowell Kiesel) to Kiesel Guitars in 2015. It's the only guitar I've ever had that makes people stop to say what a good sound it has. I've had that for probably 15 years now, and it never disappoints.
One day I happened upon a used Carvin solid body, single-thru neck, 3-single coil pickups, beautiful starburst blue at a local music shop, priced to sell, and I couldn't resist.
I had similar experiences to yours, receiving the Carvin catalogs, wondering if these guitars could be as nice to play as to look at, especially since the prices seemed very reasonable given the custom-made nature of each one. It's a pretty good business model for any type of business - but they'll all have the same drawback too.Īndrew Tompkins from syracuse, ny, usa on June 04, 2015: Well, that is at least partially correct. I'm not sure what I thought.maybe I thought they were a small shop on one of the coasts. And I 'kick tires' in guitar stores whenever I can - so I had no idea what all was up with any of that.Īt least for the longest time I didn't. For years and years and years I'd seen Carvin instruments advertised in all those guitar magazines you are familiar with. Also in closing I'm one of those who buy a guitar because I love it, not even thinking about resale because I don't plan on selling any of them. There are plenty of great brands with excellent guitars but for the price of any of my guitars they don't have the same value. I've never had the desire purchase any other guitar brand. So for my birthday in 2013 I ordered a custom Frank Gambale model with Floyd Rose etc. The guitar plays and sounds as good as it did 38 years. Still have it never a problem in fact after 25 years I'd worn the frets so I had a new fret job. The first one was fretting out somewhat past the 12th fret so I sent it back and had them send me a new one because I loved the guitar otherwise. So I saw one of their ads in Guitar magazine and took the plunge in 1978. The intonation was off and it never stayed in tune. So I ended up with a Strat that was made shortly after CBS had taken over and frankly the guitar was garbage. Back in the mid '70s I was supposed to buy a les paul from a member of my friend's band but he changed his mind after I had already sold my Gibson SG. The B-series features bass amp heads from the smaller 250-watt BX250 Micro, to the earthquake-inducing B2000, capable of 2,050 watts of power at 2 ohms. They also have some impressive combos amps, heads, and cabinet. On the bass side, Carvin produced some very cool bass guitars with bolt-on and neck-through designs. There’s the Vintage Series, the solid-state SX Series, and Carvin has even brought back the classic X100B. The Legacy is an amp built in collaboration with shred legend Steve Vai.
#SENDING WOOD TO CARVIN GUITARS SERIES#
The V3 Series is a stable of all-tube, 3-channel rock monsters. Carvin Bass Guitars, Amps, and Other StuffĬarvin didn't only make cool guitars back in the day they also made some of the most innovative amps out there. The Bolt was a departure from this, and Carvin now has many guitars with set necks, and additional bolt-on designs such as the Countour C66, the Bolt Plus, and the TLB60 Vintage Bolt. It’s called the Bolt because, typically, Carvin guitars had always featured a neck-thru design. If you like Fender-like tones this is a guitar to consider. The Delos Series Bolt is another cool guitar, and unlike a few years back it is now available with a Floyd Rose option.
