Any carvin owners???

[Ascension]

At one time I had one of the best collections of the shreadder neck 24.75 88-93 neck through Carvins around. I still have a 1991 X220C a 90 X220C in Pearl Pink and a Deep Purple flame 2002 DC400.
Great gear and it "used to be" a great company to deal with.
Here are a few of my old Carvins most are long gone now.

I love DC 150s from the eighties and any of the 200 or 400 series from that era. The only Carvin that I owned was a nice DC 727 that I bought on Ebay. It was Claro Walnut with a five piece neck and a fixed bridge. I sold it about six months ago. I thought it was a great guitar for the money (I paid $400 used for mine) but I had no use for a seven string so it just sat in it's case.

Yep the X220's were MUCH different guitars from the V220's. I sold off the V220's and kept a pair of the X's. Both of my X's are quite the rare birds.
The 1990 is in Pearl Pink with a reverse headstock and the 1991 is a 22 fret 25.5 strat scale X and may be the only one produced!!
Here is "pinky"

The Black X on the far left with no neck inlay is the LS 175 option 22 fretter

I get the Carvin catalog as well. I was intriguiged by the California (whatever the letters n' numbers are) and the Allan Hooldsworth fatboy.

I read a review somewhere that claimed that they were well made but lacked character so I sort of lost interest.

Tell me something different

No kidding, Queen Pinky looks like she is just about to invade France.

Most used Carvins hold their value quite well. This one would be a bargain. These were Canadian hardrock maple bodies and necks, neckthrough, MOP or abalone inlays, and heavy enough to sustain nicely.
Not flashy, just a real workhorse with great tone, and well built in N. America.
(NO, I'm not the seller, just steering Carvin-ites toward a bargain... helping cure G.A.S., one fretter at a time.)
