sorry no. i've been to the carvin store in LA, and i've played a number of their guitars. they're of a very high caliber, you won't go wrong with their stuff, i'd say.

I meant to buy one a few years ago, but their prices have gone sky high considering they sell direct.

All I own these days are Carvins. I think that their prices are very competitive for what you get. And they have more options for leftys than many other med/high-end builders.

Finally another carvinite, even though I have a few other more expensive guitars this tl60 is one of my fav's. I scored it a few years back for $400 and put some bill lawrence pups and it screams! This one's a keeper. Dunno why they aren't more mainstream but you absolutely can't go wrong with a carvin IMO! Check their site and they have a weekly giveaway of a $250 gift certificate (haven't won yet) towards carvin merchandise.

You can't go wrong with Carvin. I visited the San Diego factory store two years ago and fell in love with every guitar I picked up. I ended up buying a 980t acoustic, even though I was on the market for and electric?

I plan on ordering a custom spec'd model one of these days. I'm on the market for a Strat and may consider a custom bolt.

I would love an all koa CS3 but I do not think Carvin will built one for me. An all koa TL60 will be sweet as well.

+1 on the Carvins! They make a great instrument. You'll see in my avatar my Carvin CT6.
