Offered for sale:
Used c2008 Carvin CS4 California Single Cut Carved Top serial number 94605.
This guitar is in very good to excellent condition, showing very limited playing time with no visible wear. The original Carvin C22 neck pickup has been replaced with a Gibson ’57 Classic. The Classic '57 does not show height adjustment screws on the mounting ring due to the pickup tabs being extended and secured directly to the body at the exactly correct pickup height, a very nice touch.
The Carvin CS4 is a single-cutaway electric with an elegant mahogany/maple carved top LP style body.
Playability is excellent due to Carvin’s “Rapid Play” low action neck and the comfortable contours of the body.
This CS4’s Cherryburst finish, natural binding, and figured maple fingerboard without inlays give it a classy look that isn’t overstated.
The set Honduran mahogany neck is with reinforced dual carbon-fiber rods, “Rapid Play” profile, 25" scale length, 1 11/16” nut width, figured maple fingerboard, Sperzel locking tuners, 22 stainless steel medium-jumbo frets 12” radius and Wilkinson tremolo bridge. The tone knobs feature push/pull coil tapping (not available on ‘57 Classic).
This is a beautiful guitar, plays and sounds great.
Hard-shell case included.

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
