R: What's Up with Carvin?

["Luigi Meloni" <Luigimeloni74@libero.it>]

Hi. As far as it goes for guitars, I think they make some of the best
guitars I've played in almost 16 years of electric guitar playing. A friend
of mine has just received a neck through strat like guitar, with ebony
fingerboard, dunlop jumbo frets, dual carvin humbuckers , sperzels, fixed
bridge (all of this for less than 600 $), and when I tried that one, I
really thought to commit a crime and to steal him that guitar:-):-):-)
 It was damn light (strange for a neck through), and it played well right
out of the box (it had travelled to Italy from the factory in USA and it 
had
only the G string a bit out of tune). For a production instrument it is
waaaaay better than any gibson or fender I have tried in the years (the
workmanship in Carvin factory is really great).
I've also tried a carvin mixer, and I find it a good workhorse. I don't 
have
one just 'cause here in Italy it's a bit a problem to find one.
And as far as it goes on (guitar) amps, the tube ones are great (just ask 
to
Frank Zappa, Warren Cuccurullo, Steve Vai and Mike Keneally).

Peace
Luigi
