Boss: I have several carvins as well as amps.

The C.S. has been freaking awesome to me in any lil thing I' ve had a problem with.I know of a few who have had some problems but from my opinion those are in the minority. The sales/phone dept is hurting as they have lots of noobs now trying to ramp up to speed with all the new options and models. I am confident these growing pains will improve.

As for trying it out first that is surly idea,but you do have a 10 day trial period to decide if ya like it or not.


Pups im sure are the 22b/22j they are a lil bright but I myself dont see a neede to change they are pretty damn good.This is of course subjective. I again have been using carvin stuff since 1980's

I think you are right on the pickups. Carvin has so many choices of how to build - just like buying a car! Yeah, my opinion on the customer service was pretty much focused on the sales rep I got on the phone. Complete nimrod that could have cared less to sell me a guitar, which isn't the response I would have expected from them. But either way, I got the guitar I wanted with no mixups in the build and it's awesome, so I'd likely buy another Carvin in the future if the need arises!

Let me know if you purchase another ill set you up with my rep who is awesome brother!!!!! The mini pots and or generic caps are the weak points.Although I have had no problems with any of the carvins ive got.I love changing electronics whether a $200 dollar axe or $2000 Enjoy that ride I think carvin rocks out with its c**k out!!!!!:

You said you had some of their amps? Thoughts on their small boutique combos?
