HI GUITAR THREAD
I'm in the market for a new acoustic-electric guitar, and I found an ad in the paper for a Carvin AC175 for 500 dollars. Considering Carvin is selling that model for twice that price online, I am kind of excited about this. However, before this recent flurry of guitar research after I got the wild hair up my ass to buy one, I had never heard of Carvin guitars. Are they good guitars?
doombilly:
Carvin's CAN be good. However if you need a repair to the electronics you'll be sending it back to them. And they may/may not fix it and send it back ignoring any detailed communications you may have sent with the guitar, described in email, and/or told them about on the phone. Also their resale value is crap.
Having said that, I've had mixed luck with Carvin, but have not actually purchased any guitar (only 1 bass). So probably worth it to by used maybe not retail.
Ballard:
Steve Vai has his own signature line of Carvin amps. Judge as you will.
David_Dovey:
Hey whatever you think of Steve Vai's music or aesthetic you'd be pretty silly if you couldn't bring yourself to admit that the guy must know an awful lot about guitars+amps
Ballard:
This is true. In fact, I've heard from a few reliable sources that those amps are fucking ace.
But I could not resist the crack.
