CAliForNiA SiNGleWhere most set-in neck guitars have a cumbersome heel and dont set into the body any further than the finger-board, the 22-fret and 24-fret CS guitars have 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.

Carvins CS6 California Single is one of the most attractive bargains in the high-end guitar market. The attention to detail, fit and finish, the exotic woods and superb playability are hard to find in any gui-tar, much less one that sells for around $1,500 -Eric Kirkland, Guitar World

Tested through a range of tube amps it exhibits plenty of power to crunch and wail when you want it to, but still retains out-standing clarity from all three humbucker settings, with decent neck/bridge output balance. The split-coil tones are extremely impressive, too: where so many sound like just half a humbucker (i.e. rather thin and wan) the Carvins perform like gnarly P-90s at full volume and snappier Fender-style single-coils with the Volume knob rolled back a touch. All in all, the SH550 is a sweet play-er, and a surprisingly versatile instrument. Its ideal for those who want a guitar thats more open and resonant sounding than a humbucker-equipped solidbody, and it could be the perfect choice for jazzers who seek a compact-bodied, high-end archtop that doesnt cost an arm and a leg. DAVE HUNTER Aug 2010
REVIEW
SH550 & SH575 Carved TopThese instruments are true Carved Top Semi Hollow Custom Shop masterpieces. Featuring a chambered Mahogany body with a beautifully sculpted solid Flamed Maple top that is carved both inside and out. Tone this sweet just isnt possible from a semi-hollow guitar made with thin pieces of bent plywood or veneer. The back of the body and the neck are made of hand selected genu-ine Mahogany for added warmth. The harmonically rich covered humbuckers ooze with deep and defined tone and sustain. Carvins Rapid Play low action neck assures effortless playability throughout the entire fingerboard, while the sleek set-in neck heel and lower body cut-out allows easy uninhibited access at the 22nd fret. Whether you are a semi-hollow aficionado or a rock enthusiast, an SH series guitar would be a fine addition to your collection.
SH550Ce & SH575Ce Cedar TopThese new models incorporate AAAA western Cedar tops which are carved inside and out producing a warm rich tone.

FG1 CArVeD ToPCarvin worked very closely with Frank Gambale in the development of the FG1. This guitar is a true Carved Top Semi-Hollow Double-Cutaway instrument. The genuine Mahogany body is chambered and features a premium carved Curly-Flamed Maple top. The FG1 neck profile and heel are custom sculpted to Franks specifications which makes for very comfortable playability and total access to all 22 frets. Frank chose the C22B pickup for the bridge and worked with Carvin to develop the FG22N neck pickup. This exquisite instrument is extremely versatile and will handle all music styles from jazz to rock.

My new Carvin HH1X has a fantastic neck, fingerboard, radius, and fretwire. Along with the compact size, rigidity, and comfort that I love in a headless guitar (while still being a full 25.5 scale length) The playability and tone are amazing. I started to use the guitar on the road the week It was built. I am very happy indeed, Allan Holdsworth.

The NS1 Nylon guitar features Carvins extraordinary workmanship and playability. Carvin worked very closely with graph Tech when developing the pickup system for the NS1. The real magic comes when you plug the NS1 into a guitar synth using a 13 pin cable. This provides both synth and acoustic sounds, as well as phantom power using the one 13-pin cable. The NS1 offers the newest cutting edge technology to bring an awesome sounding acoustic piezo system together with the fastest mIDI access tracking available.
