I own a TL60 with a quilt top that is easily as good as what you'd see on a PRS. It's is a better playing guitar than any PRS I have ever tried. I could go on for ages. The resale is not as bad as most people think it is. There is no better value than Carvin imo. I will gladly own another.

Cool. I've gotten the catalogs for many years. I am getting more and more curious about them.
 
I just got my carvin cs6 In a couple weeks ago. Sweet guitar. Compared to my two PRS singlecuts I like the neck better personally on the carvin. Right now I like the sound of my PRS singlecuts better but I'm going to change the bridge pickup on the carvin and ill give a judgement on it then. It seems way too bright as is for me with the stock bridge pickup but the playability is off the charts. I may just play with the tone knob a little bit or do a pickup change. Also aesthetically it is very beautiful. I was a little nervous about carvin but I took a shot and I'm very glad I did.
 
I got my first carvin last month and I'll say it's the best guitar I've ever owned and not just "for the money". Other guitars include Japanese made Ibanez, fender mexi, Gibson explorer, Suhr classic T, and martin. Carvin makes a great guitar.
 
The best guitar for the money IMO is a 1970s Yamaha acoustic. They sound great and can be bought for $100 bucks in any pawnshop. That is my insider trading tip of the day.

:thumbsup: Thanks Brad. I'm actually digging for some Carvin reviews.

Got a 200 and a 400 (and 3 other Carvins), both killer guitars. LOVE the necks on the DC series, favorite of any brand/model I've played.

Mr Carvin if he were not taking a dirt nap would tell you to buy a 1970s Yamaha acoustic. :lol: :LOL:
 
Carvin is definitely some great guitar for the money. I consider Charvel another company-they offer some great guitar for the monies!
 
Jim, I have an anniversary bass here that is killer. Like you I would like to try one of there guitars myself.
 
I agree!! A great guitar for the money. I have 2 DCs and one Bolt +. The pickups are another story!!!!
 
Yeah Greg I would love to get my hands on one. The DC400, CT6 and CS6 seem really nice on paper.


Anyone of you owners that have chimed in.... how about some photos of your guitars?

Jim
 
Id say ESP standards...they are amazing QC wise , japan still knows whats up!, imo a pleasure to play , usually under 2k and times under 1k :rock:
 
I shed a tear the day I found out the USA Charvel run was over, so glad I nailed three of them.


I want to try the Carvin 8 string out, WAY cheaper thatn Ibanez and the specs look awesome.
 
I had a Carvin electric 12 string I bought myself for my 25 bday. Use to use it on "Dead or Alive", Close My Eyes Forever"and I'll Remember You". Apt. was broken into and that was one of the things they got. I loved that guitar.
 
i love my carvins, i have a cs6 24 fret coming home in a week or 2 , ill post some pics when i get it...
