Are Carvin guitars designed specifically for gaylords?[views:1747][posts:20]__________________________________ [Sep 5,2006 10:21pm - powerkok ""] Or do they just look like it?? Seriously, lose the fucking 1980's looking, bubbly, rounded horns, for christ sake. And put a fucking floyd in the PRS rip off's, you cunts. |

| __________________________________ [Sep 5,2006 10:25pm - powerkok ""] Look at em man.....jeez louise. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 5,2006 10:26pm - powerkok ""] Ive always liked their craftsmanship, and theyve always been solid guitars, but theyve also always been ugly, and now, theyre just as ugly, but more expensive. |

Some of the custom carvin stuff looks great. All of the carvin stuff is definately an awesome sound and value for the price. I'm a little sketchy of the amps, speakers, etc..., but the bass heads are pretty clean and classy sounding. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 5,2006 10:48pm - powerkok ""] Ya, they are definitely a class act. Im talking specifically about their electric guitar bodies. |
| __________________________________________________ [Sep 5,2006 10:50pm - i_am_not_a_carvin_owner ""] They jumped up in price? Damn. They were a bargain, I wish I had bought one at some point. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 5,2006 10:53pm - powerkok ""] well...I mean the PRS copy model is $1479...not much cheaper than a real prs, so whats the point. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 5,2006 10:54pm - powerkok ""] even the non trem/maple neckthru, alder body is $930!!! Insane. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 5,2006 10:55pm - powerkok ""] Oh Im sorry, that is with a floyd....the non floyd is $829 LOL. |
| _____________________________ [Sep 6,2006 1:14am - blue ""] i have no problem with the carvin shapes, they all look classy as hell to me. most of their amps are great, and the build quality will beat almost anything in the price range. the only thing i dont like about their stuff is their pickups. powerkok said:well...I mean the PRS copy model is $1479...not much cheaper than a real prs, so whats the point. you must not see a lot of PRS'. 90% of them are over $2100, and will laugh in your face if youd ever ask for a floyd or a wilkinson trem. and custom options? want to spend another 6-7 grand? anyway, carvin puts necks on their guitars that arent baseball bats, unlike PRS. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 6,2006 2:29am - powerkok ""] I 'see' plenty of PRS. Im not a fan either. Being so expensive is exactly the reason Carvin's knock off job, shouldnt be. Also, you think theyre classy looking, why is it that you dont own/play one? |
| _________________________________ [Sep 6,2006 2:34am - powerkok ""] Ok, $1480-carvin $1899- Prs custom 22 $420 less= not that much. |

I won't pay more than a thousand dollars for a guitar, thats why. and 9 times out of ten i buy used. carvins dont come used. archtop semi-hollowbodies are classy looking, but i dont own or play one. |

CUSTOM. as in your own options, color, hardware etc. a custom PRS will run you about 6-10,000 dollars. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 6,2006 8:21am - niccolai ""] ...and play similar to a BCrich Bronze warlock... which will run you about 80-90 dollars. |

Besides, with ESP or Ibanez you can look forward to spending 3 grand+ on a custom guitar with Carvin's options and the carvin will have arguably better woods. and I don't think they are 'that bad' looking. They look better than most other classy looking axes (PRS, Gibson, ect) |
| _________________________________ [Sep 6,2006 8:23am - sinistas ""] My main guitar is a 1989 Carvin DC125. I got it for $250 shipped with a hardshell case. For a USA made neckthru (it's got a Duncan Custom Custom to boot), that about the best deal imaginable. |

| _________________________________ [Sep 6,2006 8:31am - niccolai ""] I do not stand by Carvin's amps though. they are nothing but crap and I've had only bad experences with the 3 carvin amps I've owned. their customer service sucked too. |
