Carvin Guitars

Anyone ever played one? Too many of them look like LP's, which I don't really like, but I noticed the one guitar I really like from them is their double-cutaway DC-150. I first saw the guitar at a Raincoats show when Grass Widow opened for them. The guitarist of Grass Widow has a late-70's DC-150, it's natural wood and a really gorgeous guitar. It also dual output jacks for stereo sound, a really cool feature. And it has coil-splitting and phase invert. Here's a pic:

How do they sound dirty?

Yep, a sweet looker and probably a very good player based on the Carvin rep.

You probably know teh design is a knock off of the Gibson Les Paul Special Double-Cut. But the electronics are more sophisticated and of course the LPSpecial has P90s. You might want to look at those. But they don't come in natural with a Maple neck like this (beautiful).

Enjoy your hunt. 😎

Yes, I am very interested in this guitar because although it looks like the LP Special double-cut, I really like the control setup, looks very neat and it is nice to have coil split. That gives me the ability to pull a lot of different sounds out of this one guitar. I am also looking to try to discover my own tone and help me work on my own music. I am also looking for a really solid, well made guitar that I can keep and use as my main guitar for the rest of my life haha. I love my Jag-Stang to death, and will obviously continue to use that guitar as well, but I'd really like a well-made workhorse of a guitar and the ability to discover new sounds and try my own thang. 😀

I think that's right!
