Roll the tone cointrol back a smidge and wha la P-90's tone. Pull the tone control up and they turn into a crisper version of a P-90. I will admit, they have a bit of a bite to them but rolling the tone pot back just a touch rounds them out very nicely. I ordered my CT6 with the covered pick ups and absolutely love the tone. What it really means is that everybody has different tastes and I would be prepared to change the pick ups on any guitar I bought not just a Carvin. picker I've talked to said they changed the pick ups on their guitar so from that I could only take that L.P. The Stainless Steel frets always look freshly polished and they play like you're on ice. You can bend strings SOOoooo much easier and more accurately too. The tung oiled Mahogany neck is as smooth as a spanked babies bottom. The neck is wide in playing area but thin front to back. The playability of my CT6 is where she shines the best. Fit and finish is as close to flawless as ANY guitar I've ever come in contact with. In my book it is as well built as any of the PRS's I've seen/owned or played. This is the model that looks similar to the PRS McCarty Body. The last one I bought new from the factory a year and a half ago is a CT6-T. But since then their QA/QC has improved considerably. (DC-150) The build quality was about the same as an upper end Ibanez. Out of my 31 guitars 5 of them are Carvin's. The first 1 bought new from the factory in 1979. But the quality on my V220 is as good as anything out there and it gets just as raunchy as any Les Paul. The Korina Explorer, I still have and has probably gone up in value maybe 10 fold and I love that one but the Carvin will always have a sweet spot for me.ĭont buy it expecting to sell it in 4 or 5 years because youll lose $$$. It was a childhood guitar that I've always regretted not getting and now I have it plus+ all the options I couldnt afford then. I agree with I could never sell it for that but I have no intentions of selling it. Those are great guitars but for me it was worth every penny. For $1600 you can get a good used Les Paul or maybe a nice Used PRS Etc. ![]() After getting it I was completely happy that I did, it is kick butt plays as nicely as anything I have ever play'd. I think I put every single thing on it that I could. It took 6 weeks but I chose every last detail from the skunk stripes to the gold metal to the burst and abolone blocks. ![]() That said I always wished I would have got that V220 I loved the pointy look. It took forever and I canceled the order and got a 83 Korina Explorer (best thing I've done musically) ![]() I had ordered a Carvin in the Early 1980s, It was a V220.
