With Carvin’s custom shop you now have more choices than ever to create your
own custom instrument. In the last couple of years we have added options like
bird’s eye maple and rosewood fingerboards along with stainless steel frets in both
standard and jumbo sizes. New deep stained finishes are available to compliment
the beauty of our highly figured maple tops. To enhance the tone of our guitars
more models of Carvin pickups are available than ever before not to mention the
acoustic bridge options that are offered for many of our instruments. However,
more important than our growing list of options is our commitment to building
high quality guitars. Our modern 82,000 square foot plant in San Diego is equipped
with the finest guitar building machinery in the industry. The use of high quality
woods and our constant improvement in manufacturing methods are an ongoing
quest at Carvin. Several years ago we began to cycle all of our necks and fingerboards through a long conditioning process in our de-humidification chambers.
What this does is remove any possible stress in the wood. Stress in the wood is
what causes your neck to warp or twist, and it may not fully develop for months
or years after an instrument is built. This painstaking extra step is one of the
reasons why our guitars and basses are known for their longevity and consistent
playability.
If Carvin guitars were available in retail stores, you would pay up to
three times more than our factory direct prices. By selling direct, Carvin
not only gives incredible value but also provides you with a direct
connection to the guitar builder. This is something you do not get when purchasing
retail. With the best build up times in the industry along with our risk free 10-day
money back guarantee, there has never been a better time to order your Carvin Custom
Shop instrument.
5 Year Warranty
All Custom Shop guitars & basses carry a 5 year
limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
Carvin installs and registers the SNAGG™ microchip
in every guitar and bass ($50 value). The hidden
micro-chip carries its own registration number documenting your ownership. If your instrument is ever lost
or stolen, once scanned, will identify the rightful owner.

(see price l i s t )
Hard Rock Maple (N. East USA)
Alder (North West USA)
Genuine Mahogany (Honduras)
Swamp Ash (Southern USA)
Black Walnut (Eastern USA)
Koa (Hawaiian Islands)
We use premium Eastern
hard rock maple for our necks
because of its time proven
strength and stability. As a
body wood, hard rock maple
being very heavy and dense,
delivers a bright sustaining
tone. Maple has a wonderful light grain that looks great
with all of our translucent
finishes.
Alder is the standard body
wood for Carvin solid body
guitars and basses. Due to
its relatively light weight, this
wood is very resonant with
upper midrange definition.
Alder is a classic tone wood
and has been present in solid
body electric guitars from the
beginning. Alder has a medium light color, slightly darker
than maple and swamp ash.
Genuine Mahogany has an
inherent warm quality with
accentuated low-midrange.
Mahogany is also considered
to be a classic tone wood.
It is denser and heavier
than Alder, but lighter than
Maple. Mahogany along with
our flamed or quilted maple
tops, gives great sustain and
warmth. Genuine Mahogany
should not be confused with
less expensive Philippine and
African Sapele.
This vintage wood comes
from Southern swamps.
The portion of the tree that is
suitable for high quality lightweight Swamp Ash, is actually submerged underwater for
years which yeilds a porous
lightweight wood. This wood
delivers slightly less midrange with full low-end and
nice singing highs. Swamp
Ash is light in color with rich
grain patterns and matches
the color of our Eastern Hard
Rock Maple necks–looks great
with translucent finishes.
Eastern Black Walnut is a
dense medium hard wood
that is slightly heavier than
Mahogany. Its tonal quality
is warm with a growling low
end and a bright top end,
especially when used for
bass–it will really cut through
in the mix. Black walnut has
medium dark beautiful grain
patterns and looks great with
gloss or satin finishes.
Koa is an exotic medium
weight wood grown exclusively
in the Hawaiian Islands. It was
used by ancient Hawaiians to
build canoes and surfboards.
Koa has warmth and sustain
similar to Mahogany and also
possesses the clear open tone
of Alder. Koa looks wonderful whether you choose a tung
oiled, satin or gloss finish.

AAAA Flamed Curly Maple (N. West USA)
AAAA Quilted Maple (N. West USA)
Flamed Curly Koa (Hawaiian Islands)
Figured Claro Walnut (California)
Engleman Spruce (USA) - for acoustics
Cedar (Canada) - for acoustics
Carvin’s Flamed Curly Maple
tops come from the Northwest
portion of the United States.
It is lighter in weight than
Eastern Hard Rock Maple and
produces singing highs with
a tight low end. Sound’s wonderful over our standard Maple
neck/Alder body sides or
optional Genuine Mahogany.
Carvin’s Quilted Maple tops
also come from the Northwest
United States. Quilted Maple
produces similar tones to the
Flamed Curly Maple. The figure can vary from large cloud
shapes to smaller pockets–
looks great with all translucent
finishes and stains.
Flamed Curly Koa is the
premium wood for building Ukuleles and high-end
acoustic guitars. Whether you
choose to add Flamed Curly
Koa to the top of your acoustic
or solid body, the tone will
benefit from added sweetness
and pronounced midrange.
Koa looks wonderful whether
you choose a tung oiled, satin
or gloss finish.
Claro Walnut is the most
sought after figured walnut
on the market. A walnut top
will add a unique look and
a brighter tone in the upper
register with a darker growling
low end. The figure can vary
between a flame and quilted
look with variations in patterns
and shades of brownish root
beer colors and black.
Known for its pure light color
and uniform grain, Engleman
Spruce is considered one of
the finest woods for Acoustic
Guitar tops. It has a brighter
tone than Cedar with a very
nice and even low-end
response.
Cedar has a very nice reddish
brown color with even straight
grain and comes standard on
our CL40. It has been used
for hundreds of years as a top
wood on classical and flamenco guitars. It has a very warm
tone with subdued high end
when compared to spruce.

California single
Where most set-in neck guitars have a cumbersome heel and don’t set into the body any
further than the fingerboard, the CS guitar
has an exclusive smooth “heel-less” design for
improved access to all frets. The neck actually sets 5 inches into the body and extends
underneath the neck pickup for amazing
sustain. To top it off, the California Single is
equipped with a pair of our tone enhancing
Classic Humbuckers.

“This remarkable-sounding instrument is
deep and clear, with nice stringiness and
spank. Notes sound round and harmonically detailed in humbucker mode, and the
single-coil selections are bright and punchy.
The DC127T is one chunky and intense beast
in super-high-gain conditions, and even the
most heavily saturated chords retain definition. A very versatile guitar that can easily
cover rock, blues or country duties.”

CUSTOMER COMMENT
I was a dedicated PRS
player but decided to
t r y s o m e t h i n g d i f f e rent. I was amazed when
my Holdsworth arrived.
Impeccable workmanship,
flawless fit and finish, great
action and sound. The
Fatboy blew away the tone
and clarity of my recorded
PRS tracks. I started selling off the other guitars and
I now have 2 more Fatboys
and a CT6.

Once again Allan Holdsworth HOLDSWORTH
worked closely with Carvin to create
HF2 Fatboy
the Fatboy. This second generation
Holdsworth design has a 2 3/8” thick
body with special twin beam suspension that allows the top and back
of the body to resonate freely. The
twin beams are not glued in pieces of
wood, but are an integral part of this
design. This along with the maple
neck gives the Fatboy a rich semi-hollow body jazz tone.

Allan Holdsworth worked closely
with Carvin for two years developing his Carvin H2 and H2T signature models. The Holdsworth has
many unique design features including the alder wood set-in neck and
chambered semi-hollow body. The
H2 comes standard with a TuneO-Matic bridge. The H2T features
the Wilkinson tremolo system. The
highly resonant tone of this unique
guitar is incredible.

The AE185 is a lot
of guitar for the

I’d even venture to
say the materials and
