Carvin Electric Guitars Review

I learned of Carvin guitars back in the early 90's and have always been very impressed with the quality they provide for the price. But I never really made the leap and purchased a Carvin, until I was recording an album, and just could not get the electric guitar sound I wanted on several songs with my Fender Stratocaster (with Single Coils.) The thick tone I was looking for on the distorted guitar parts just could not be had with my single coiled Strat. I came to this conclusion, after hours of tweaking, recording, re-taking, and trying various amplifiers and effects units. Nope...this was a job for a humbucker equipped guitar.

Carvin has a custom factory in San Diego, California where they custom build guitars, amplifiers, PA equipment and much more. If you are unfamiliar with their work, you are a missing out on some of the highest quality USA made products available anywhere in any price range.

If you are in California, Carvin has several stores where you can go and play the various models, but otherwise they are only available via catalog, internet, and phone order. I researched electric guitars extensively before purchasing a pre-owned DC400T that was like brand new. Before the purchase, I played everything from Les Pauls, to PRS's, to humbucker equipped Strats. I really wanted to try a Carvin, so I ended up actually getting two of them. A hard tail DC200 Koa, and a Wilkinson tremolo equipped DC400T. I bought the Koa, and then came across a great deal on the tremolo equipped model , so I bought it also, and then sold the Koa model after some deep thought about which guitar I liked the most!

Carvin has many models to choose from, and their custom built electric and bass guitars have so many options, that a buyer can pretty much have their dream guitar built exactly the way they want. These are truly custom built, American made guitars, and you can get 'em with many options. Surprisingly, all this flexibility comes at a cost that is much less than many other custom shops, and with as good or better quality than the best known brands.

You owe it to yourself to try a Carvin out. You can see and purchase many pre-owned Carvins in great condition by Clicking Here.
