Carvin vintage 16


Recommended Posts

Well, assembled in the USA. Components are most likely not all USA made. Not like you can really grow ebony in the USA, or make vacuum tubes. They do use quality components. Currently I'm looking into having my X-100B modded to bring it up to current specs.

I haven't used a Carvin amp, but I have a Carvin guitar. I'm very pleased with the quality. The neck plays like a good 535. The tone is warm despite an ebony neck. It's a joy.

I didn't even know such designs were possible with wood.

Those guitars were part of a collaboration between an artist that works in wood inlays and carvin. There were only FOUR made, and each one is UNIQUE. One of a kind.

That guitar is the Swallowtail AC375, and is the only one like it in the world.
