This carvin is so pretty it had to be posted:

It's half a rainbow, man! Purple + quilt is instant win in my book, and with a tri-color burst too, it's unreal. Carvin really hit the spot with this one.

The pickups are confusing me!

Not crazy about the guitar, but I do like the finish. Never seen anything quite like it before.

When I read your comment before seeing the pics, I was imagining something like the ESP George Lynch Purple Tiger, but it's very different!

That's really nice. The more I see Carvins, the more I like them...

I'll add my Carvin to the mix, then... AAAAA quilt, this one!

They get some damn good wood from somewhere, do Carvin. I've had 3 of their guitars, all have been great players. It's a love/hate thing with their mojo, though.

That finish on a PRS tremonti trem signature = my dream guitar.

But all of those tops are awesome, but then I'm a sucker for quilt tops.

As a huge fan of quilt tops, I must say, very nice. All of them! :)

Carvin always seem to have nice woods
Sometimes they seem like a bass guitar company from the way the guitars are designed : through necks - fancy woods , active electronics etc

Interesting that you say that. I've always admired the look of Carvin guitars, since I first saw their ads in Guitar Player best part of 30 years ago. They seem beautifully made, but there's always something about each model that isn't quite right for me, be it the shape of the body or headstock, or the control layout, or the timbers and inlays being a bit too pretty. Never actually played one of course.

The ones that most appeal to me are the Allan Holdsworth and SC90 models, but even then the shapes are a bit "off".
