How do you like those Carvins? I've been drooling over the Cali Carved Top CT6M model lately....
Carvin builds some NICE stuff. For years I was a big time Carvin supporter but kinda got pretty burned by them over that last couple of years and sold off a bunch of my Carvin stuff because of it. Something changed a couple of years ago and all the guys I had known for years in sales and customer Service were suddenly gone. They burned me on three of my parts orders in a row and the way they treated me blew me orering a tricked out $1500 V220 from them. The product is still STELLAR but they can be REALLY difficult at times to deal with now. It's a shame because for years the were as good as it gets in Customer Service.
The CT's are super nice guitars and I would take one of those ANYDAY over a PRS. If you decide to have one built yell I can give you some advice on how to deal with them and not get scorched.
