A left-handed friend of mine has one and basically buys nothing but Carvin gear. The thing sounds great, I love the tone, but I obviously can't play it (because I'm a normal person :P ). Carvin seems to have a good deal going that if I build one and don't like it I can return it. I have played around with some of the options and love the guitar that I can build, and the price I can build it for.
If I get this job and have to move, I would like to gift myself with a good strat and right now its between the American Standard or the Carvin Bolt-on (which I haven't played yet). Who has these, what do you think about them, how do you compare them to the American Strat?
I had several carvins they are really awesome!!!!!!!!! They compare in quality to american fender. Fender uses better pots and there is much debate on which pups sound better with fender having more choices.Carvin guitars rock.Voodoo has a carvin and I believe kiteman!!
Carvin is the *only* company that I would buy from sight unseen, without trying a similar model in a music store...
They are built well, and their return policy looks great in case you don't get exactly what you asked for. I don't own one, but I have played a couple and both were flawless, and built like freakin' tanks.
Quality & workmanship on my CT6 is just fantastic. I haven't played the Bolt model, but I would certainly expect a comparable level of quality. Carvin is a great company from everything I've seen & heard....
