Purchase: I bought this beaut at a pawn shop for $200!
I couldn't resist the sweet price on this fabulous piece!
Pros: I love the construction of the thing.
It's heavy, but that's all right with me.
The pickups smoke!
Cons: The finish was redone.
Quality: Quality is simply outstanding!
Review Summary: This guitar is perfect for hard rock.
My only complaint is that it doesn't work as well for jazz or country.
For that I play my trusty Strat or Les Paul.
Anyway, I highly recommend Carvin guitars!

Purchase: I ordered the instrument directly from Carvin. I paid $850 for this custom made instrument.
Pros: The quality and the craftsmanship of the instrument is amazing. The electronics, playability and overall quality of this guitar is truly remarkable for the price I paid. I was looking at PRS, high end Fenders and Gibsons, but for the price and quality, Carvin takes the cake.
Cons: I had to wait 5 weeks for the guitar to be built and delivered. It was however, delivered 2 weeks earlier than promised.
Quality: Neck through the body. Neck is thin with rosewood fretboard. I choose Koa for the wood and the finish is flawless. Hardware was gold color and very sound. Electronics are flawless. Outstanding.
Review Summary: For the value you get, anyone looking at buying a higher line instrument, has to look at Carvin. For the money, I don't think you can find a better instrument.
