The guitar is lightweight (relative to a Stratocaster, let alone a Les Paul), yet feels more solid than either of the two venerable models I just mentioned. Neck is straight and true, and the neck-through-body construction makes the guitar feel like it's cut from a single piece of wood. However, the case's overall integrity remains solid. Other than that, the hardshell Carvin case that came with the guitar could benefit from a thicker outer plastic shell since the surface has become concave.
I could fatten up the switch with a coat of black handle grip dip, but anyone who's played a Carvin knows that the switches are fine as is. Yet when you actually use the switch, it feels butter-smooth and solid - a nice complement to the equally high-quality tone and volume pots. Aesthetically, if I had to nitpick, I felt that the spindly looking toggle switch that controls pick-up selection seemed underwhelming considering the prey-cat, powerful yet sleek look and feel of the rest of the guitar. Truly no meaningful complaints about the guitar itself. Nothing about this guitar seems arbitrary or compromised. You can truly see, hear and otherwise tell that every aspect of the guitar was well conceived, and that the particular strengths and nuances of the chosen components were factored into, not shoehorned into the design.

Very versatile range of sounds since you can split the humbuckers - can play all-out metal to match its looks, or warm and full for the tastiest of blues jams! Carvin's stock pick-ups are absolutely first-rate. Ergonomically, the guitar feels great (see my comments on its relatively light weight below) and balances well when played with a strap. The action is low and fast with no buzz from the locking nut to the last (24th) fret.
I've been impressed with Carvin guitars since the '80s, and finally decided to own one.Īll-black (body, neck, headstock, hardware) except for the neck dots - the "Darth Vader" of axes! One understated, yet mean looking mother of a guitar! And that's just the cosmetics.
