: : I’ve been loking for a new guitar, and I noticed that Carvin offers very cheaply priced custom guitars and basses at carvin.com. Does anyone know anything about Carvin, or if I should get one. : : I ordered a carvin about 6 years ago. Their quality sucks. The guitar I received had a backbowed neck that was so bad it couldn’t be adjusted. The frets looked like they were half filed down with a coarse file and had sharp burrs.The pickups also sucked. I drove back to the factory to return it. When I tried to show them the defect, they ignored me and wrote on the return receipt the "Customer didn’t like guitar",without mention that the guitar was defective. I feel sorry for the next sucker they shipped this guitar to. Don’t waste your money,go to a discounter or musician’s friend and buy a good guitar like a fender or gibson,etc.Hope this keeps you from making a mistake with a Carvin.
