Looks great and if it plays great... one is allways in danger. Or at least your economy is!

The thing is, I just happened to have a wad of cash in my pocket since I had just sold my old plow truck. QUOTE (Mertay @ Sep 20 2017, 12:35 AM) Congrats! I keep hearing great things about carvin's but haven't had the chance to play one yet. My guitar tech. always bores me of how he made the mistake of selling his Carvin many years ago  QUOTE (Sensible Jones @ Sep 20 2017, 04:35 AM) Sweet find Rich! I've had a hankering for a Carvin for a long time ever since working on one and then playing it for a while. Unfortunately I've never found the right one at the right price over here as they are quite a rarity over here!! Thank's guys. You don't see many of them around here either. At least I haven't. I knew a guy back in the late 80's that had one that I had played a few times but that is the only other Carvin I have seen or played. It seems they may have a pretty good resale value after finding these on ebay. Or at least folks are proud of them. I paid $500 for this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/USED-free-shipping...40AAOSwZ35ZlvJ3 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&a...00&_sacat=0 QUOTE (bleez @ Sep 20 2017, 07:43 AM) that is awesome congrats. The flame cap looks killer. Are these neck-thru models? LOL! I didnt even know that was a thing you could have! How cool is that Thanks Bleez. Yes it is neck thru. Here are a few more shots. Also I found this ad from 99. http://www.carvinmuseum.com/decade/images/99-dc200.html

I live near the Carvin factory and stop by the showroom from time to time to check out the latest models. Their guitars are undeniably awesome. A friend of mine got a Kiesel seven string recently, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I'm sure you'll be very happy with it. I admire your gear-hunting skills

But I think maybe I have just been lucky lately at finding nice used instruments for some good prices. That and being quick on the draw I guess in some cases. Some of the guys posting here as well as myself have mentioned that they don't see many Carvin's if any. How is it with you on the west coast, aside from living close to the factory do you see many of them in the wild? It's interesting that Carvin has reverted back to the original name of Kiesel, something I did not know until a couple days ago. I found the story of the history here. https://www.kieselguitars.com/lowellkiesel/ |

No, you don't see many. It's a shame since they really are wonderful guitars. But they've always gone their own way and refused to sell through retailers, so that has always limited their exposure. Alan Holdsworth is the only prominent Carvin artist that comes to mind, but that was in part due to the fact he lived near Carvin.
