Custom Carvin for sale/ trade !!

[speedy1]

I recently received my custom made Carvin guitar. It is simply breathtaking, but I ordered several options which, in hindsight, were not a good match for my playing style.

I grew up playing strats, but thought I'd treat myself to a guitar with everything I always dreamed about as an option. Here are the options:

Walnut Body with Quilted Maple Top
Maple Neck Through Body with Ebony Fingerboard
14" radius, Stainless Steel Frets, Abalone Dots
Floyd Rose Trem with Locking Nut
Matching Quilted Maple Headstock
Clear Gloss Finsih
Tung-Oiled Neck
Chrome Hardware
Carvin C22B bridge and H22N neck pickups
Coil Splitters

Here are some pics:

The simple fact of the matter is that I ordered this beautiful guitar, but prefer how strats play.

If anyone is interested in buying it, you can P.M. me. I paid around $1,400 for it. It is brand new. I just received it in April, and have played it for perhaps 20 hours total.

I also will consider a trade for it. I am looking for an Yngwie Malmsteen model strat, but will consider any strat with the following options: Maple modern "c" neck with maple fretboard, 25 1/2 " scale length, 9.5" radius, preferably American or Japanese made models.

Thanks for looking!!

That sure is a beautiful guitar, I wish I had something to trade for it. Good luck.

Thanks very much.... If only it played like a strat! Oh well.

GUITAR WILL BE GONE BY 10:00 PM TONIGHT
UNLESS I GET A COUNTER-OFFER!!

A fellow board member from CarvinMuseum offered to trade me a brand new Highway 1 strat with options of my choice for my DC.

If no one else is interested here, it will be taken off the market on 10:00 pm tonight (I believe that is US central standard time...)

To all who have looked, thanks for your time!
Hopefully, I will have some soundclips up in a few weeks played with my GT-8 and a new strat!!

That was one beautiful guitar, but I know exactly how you feel. When you get a feel for a certain type of guitar it's hard to change. To me, playing somebody elses guitar feels like wearing somebody elses shoes.

I have a Carvin Bolt and I absolutely love it! It's the perfect guitar for me. I hope you find the one for you man, the Eric Johnson strat is supposed to be a good one.

Cheers.
