I'm not a Carvin fan, but am always interested in learning about brands that have a good following (I certainly don't rule them out!). They may or may not help you, but I thought it may have been a unique item. I had just posted a link to pictures that an acquaintance posted of a Carvin Lap steel. Kevin, It's ironic for me that you bring this up. Thanks very much (and thanks to b0b for hooking me up)! Cant say the same about their (Carvin) amps or electronics in general. Good guitars with upgraded hardware and electronics at a good price point. I put them in the same category as like Yamaha and Schecter. If you're a Carvin fan, swing on by - there's about 400 pages of data, and well over 3000 pictures of various Carvin gear. The Carvin guitars Ive tried have been quite good in my opinion. The site is totally not-for-profit, and I am just trying to get the most accurate and detailed information regarding these instruments. And really, anything else that you lot may have pertaining to Carvin steels - anything at all. After a few months (when I saved up another 100) I replaced the Carvin pickups (too clean.) with Gibson P-90s, photo of the guitar below. It cost 100 dollars, over 600 adjusted for inflation in todays money, more than 50 hours of work at the wages I made in high school. I also would like good "beauty shots" of any Carvin steels and/or laps, and especially headstock photos showing the various Carvin logos. As I recall, the Carvin catalog listed the neck as made by Höfner. Credit, linkage, whatever will be given, of course. If I had ordered them from Carvin - it would have saved me 10 from buying them at. As a player in a rock cover band - I have straplocks on all my guitars. I noticed straight away that I had forgot to include straplocks. The fit and the finish were all very impressive. If you have one, you can send it to me, and I'll scan it and return it, or you can scan it, or I'll buy it, or whatever. The guitar was still nearly in tune - following the trip across the country. There's quite a bit of steel info up there now, but I want to expand on it as much as possible. I have most of Carvin's catalogs from 1955-present scanned, as well as tons of data, primarily on guitars, basses and amps, and I want to expand on the steel guitars that made up the bulk of what they produced in the 50's and 60's. I run a site dedicated to Carvin gear covering the past 50 years, The Carvin Museum (). I am in search of information regarding Carvin (and Kiesel, the Carvin predecessor) steel guitars. Forum Magazine combines Wholesale Digest,' 'Drop-Ship Gazette,' worldwide Circulation.

I've played the carved tops and like them. But their carved tops and semi hollow models REALLY pique my attention and are a lot more traditional feeling. I think their neck-through models still hold that feel. I'll echo what has been said about them tending to be shredder guitars in the past. Someone here will surely scold me for my opinion on Carvin pickups. This is probably what I would end up doing if I were to order one. On a forum where people are constantly upgrading their pickups and electronics on R9's and such, I don't know why doing the same to a guitar that costs a lot less would be any sin. I don’t know why haven’t bought at least one of them. I find my tones using mostly Seymour Duncans. I find them to be merely serviceable in the nice guitars they come in.
