ARTIST NEWS FRANK GAMBALE

Carvin has enjoyed a great relationship with renowned guitarist, Frank Gambale, since 2000. When it came time for Frank to work on a new guitar model, it was clear to both, Carvin would be the company to design and build his guitar.

Frank’s prototype was first seen at the Musikmesse trade show in April of 2010 where he performed with it for the first time. There were many Youtube videos and speculation about his “new” guitar. After some final tweaks and adjustments, Carvin and Frank are happy to officially announce the FG1. Frank recently stated “The FG1 has everything I’ve ever wanted in a guitar; beautiful tone and beautiful bones.

Carvin craftsmanship is undeniable”. Frank chose to utilize a vintage size fretwire which comes standard on his model.

Listening tests resulted in Frank choosing Carvin’s C22B humbucking bridge pickup along with Frank’s special design FG22N neck position pickup. In addition to this new model, Frank is also utilizing other Carvin guitar models in his arsenal. Check Carvin.com, CarvinChannel.com and Youtube for various videos with Frank and his FG1guitar.

Neil Zaza is known for his extremely melodic guitar compositions which have sustained his international solo career. He’s collaborated with musicians such as Michael Anthony (Van Halen), Dweezil Zappa, Ross Valory, Steve Smith (Journey) and Peter Frampton to name a few.

Carvin customers had longed for a 24 fret CT6 California Carved Top. When Neil approached Carvin with the same request, it was time to give Neil and the public what they’ve been asking for.

Neil’s CT624M guitar is unique. It features a push/ pull Volume and a pickup selector switch instead of a Tone control. Along with the CT624M, Neil is also rockin’ with a couple of DC127’s. Zaza fans can order a guitar just like Neil’s. Check out the video on CarvinChannel.com

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 tone 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.

WOODS AND FINISHES Optional body woods

1-800-854-2235

(see price l i s t )

Hard Rock Maple

Alder (North

(N. East USA)

West USA)

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.

AVERAGE BUILD-UP TIME FOR YOUR CUSTOM SHOP INSTRUMENT IS 5 TO 9 WEEKS!

This medium lightweight wood is the standard body wood for most Carvin solid body guitars and basses. Alder is a classic tone wood – used in solid body electric guitars since the ‘50’s.

Swamp Ash

Black Walnut

Koa

(Southern USA)

(Eastern USA)

(Hawaiian Islands)

Genuine Mahogany is a classic tone wood.

Denser and heavier than Alder and can add over 1 pound to your instrument. Mahogany along with our flamed or quilted maple tops, give great sustain and warmth.

Swamp Ash, which comes from Southern swamps is about the same weight or slightly lighter than Alder.

It is light in color with rich grain patterns and delivers slightly less midrange with full lowend and nice singing highs.

Black walnut has medium dark beautiful grain patterns, is heavier than Mahogany and can add up to 2 pounds to your instrument. It has a warm, growling low end and a bright top end.

Koa is similar in weight or slightly heavier than Alder.

It has warmth and sustain similar to Mahogany and possesses the clear open tone of Alder.

Koa looks wonderful whether you choose a tung oiled, satin or gloss finish.

Figured Claro Walnut (California)

Spalted Curly Maple

Cedar (Canada)

(Western Canada)

for acoustics

A Claro walnut top will add a unique look and brighter tone in the upper register with a darker growling low end. The figure can have variations with shades of brown and black.

Carvin uses the finest premium 4A Curly Spalted maple available. This exotic wood comes from dying-standing trees, which gives this wood its unique oldworld look.

Cedar has a very warm tone. It has been used for hundreds of years on classical and flamenco guitars. It is the standard top on Carvin’s CL450 nylon string guitar.

Genuine Mahogany

O p t i o n a l B o d y T o p w o o d s (see price list)

AAAA Flamed Curly Maple

AAAA Quilted Maple

Flamed Curly Koa

(North West USA)

(North West USA)

(Hawaiian Islands)

Flamed Maple produces singing highs with a tight low end. Sounds wonderful over our standard Maple neck/Alder body or Mahogany.

Quilted Maple produces similar tones to Flamed Curly Maple. The quilted figure can vary from large to smaller pockets.

Besides its exotic Hawaiian Island appeal & rarity, a guitar built with a Flamed Curly Koa top will give added sweetness and pronounced midrange.

SH550 OPTIONS SHOWN: Deep Vintageburst on Quilt (QDV6) Abalone Inlyas (AB) Stainless Steel Frets (STF)

SH550 & SH575 Carved Top

REVIEW “Tested through a range of tube amps it exhibits plenty of power to crunch and wail when you want it to, but still retains outstanding 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 singlecoils with the Volume knob rolled back a touch. All in all, the SH550 is a sweet player, and a surprisingly versatile instrument.

It’s ideal for those who want a guitar that’s 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 doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.”

– DAVE HUNTER Aug 2010

These 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 isn’t possible from a semihollow guitar made with thin pieces of bent plywood or veneer. The back of the body and the neck are made of hand selected genuine Mahogany for added warmth. The harmonically rich covered humbuckers ooze with deep and defined tone and sustain. Carvin’s “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.

“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.”

CUSTOM SHOP BASSES

C

arvin’s basses are significantly enhanced with the addition of our stacked bass/treble and mid range level/sweep controls. The tonal improvement and versatility with the new electronic circuitry is quite dramatic. In a recent review, Bass Guitar Magazine said “(the sweepable mid range control) in itself is almost worth the cost of the bass”. Our modern 82,000 square foot plant in San Diego is equipped with the finest instrument building machinery in the industry. The use of high quality woods and our constant improvement in manufacturing methods are an ongoing quest at Carvin. If Carvin basses 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 builder. 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 bass.

SB4000 & SB5000

Carvin’s SB Series basses feature entirely new bolt on necks. The SB4000 is based on a traditional 20 fret jazz style neck. The rounded neck heel allows comfortable playability to the last fret and its retro-style body features front and rear contours for hours of comfortable playing. The 22 fret SB5000 5-string has become extremely popular among pro players world-wide. Both models boast a pair of J99A single coil pickups which feature Alnico V magnets. These pickups deliver a rich bell-tone with full bottom-end, clear upper range and the right amount of mid-range growl.

Try an SB series bass and discover why they have received so many awards.

...It’s meaty, with a wide palette of easily manipulated tones. ...Kudos to Carvin for ushering in a whole new generation of hip, modern, and affordable instruments – Matthew Charles Heulitt, Bass Player Magazine, December 2009

OVERALL VALUE

“I was able to effortlessly call up the classic Marcus Miller slap tone– thick and punchy, with a briliant sparkle...the SB5000’s B string was tight and thunderous...Note Definition was excellent... The Carvin SB5000 has killer J Bass Tone and a fresh look. The build quality and finish work stand up to boutique instruments four times the price...it has no comparable U.S.-built competition.

Ed Friedland, Guitar World Dec 2010

CUSTOMER COMMENT “I just received my pre-assembled pickguard for my American Series Strat... I’m majorly impressed with the quality of the wiring and the electronic components as a whole, and the sound is second to none. I never dreamed I could get my Strat to sound like it does now. It’s the most balanced sound I’ve ever had out of a guitar, and I have owned just about every major brand. My next purchase will be a Carvin guitar.” – Timothy Parker

CUSTOMER REVIEW A Carvin V3 owner took his amp into a boutique amp store and put the V3 head to head with the following amps: Bogner Uberschal VHT Deliverance Deizel Herbert Mesa Road King Bogner Ecstasy 101B “Every single person who walked in the amp room was absolutely amazed by what they were hearing. No one believed that $900 could sound that good. To say we were all shocked is the understatement of the year. Jaws were hitting the floor at an alarming rate. Boutique amp owners nearby were blushing with envy and the Carvin website was pulled up on their computers behind the counter before I could leave the store.

I’ve played every high dollar, high gain, good tone’d boutique dream amp I can think of and not a single one of them can offer anything compelling, either tone wise or feature wise, that Carvin hasn’t either met or exceeded. The sheer power and usability of this amp’s gain is incredible. The low end will shake the walls and the highs are smooth, fluid and glassy.

This is truly a boutique toned nu-metal, old metal, hard rock, classic rock, jazz and blues amp all wrapped into a perfect, low priced solution.”

“When Steve Vai personally asked me to redesign his signature series Legacy guitar amplifier, I was truly excited about the project. The new Legacy 2 includes tricks and tweaks I’ve developed over 15 years of custom tube audio design work.

The result is a powerful blend of high end boutique sound and rocksolid American manufacturing. If you’re looking for singing sustain, organic harmonic complexity, and roadworthy features that work in the real world, there’s simply not a better amplifier than the new Carvin Legacy 2” Benjamin Fargen, fargenamps.com

“DCM’s power our 500 seat main stage and club on Hollywood Blvd. It’s the most versatile system I’ve used.”

Fedge - Head Engineer MUSICIAN’S INSTITUTE

“I have eight of these and use them to power Carvin subs. I have run them at full power all day on many different occasions and they handle it with absolutely no problem.”

Thomas Carroll, Atlanta “Our band uses both Carvin and Berhinger gear. Our DCM1000 is as loud as the Euro2500. Our DCM1500 blows it out of the water.”

Jayce Bass, Kansas “These are FANTASTIC! (DCM3800L) We subjected 4 of these amps to a trial by fire right out of the box. We powered 4 TRx218n cabs at an outdoor event, pushed them hard and these didn’t blink an eye! (with very little power consumption to boot!) Great power, great weight, great price! You’ve hit it out of the park with this one!”

Dan Lexington, KY

Once you put a DCM power amp into service, you’ll hear the difference with crisper highs, punchier bass and natural mids. Comments like “The best amps I’ve owned”, “Every kick drum beat is very distinct-punchy”, “They deliver continuous power at 2 ohms”, “Cool running”, Doesn’t over-heat in direct sun”, “My AC power requirement was reduced in half which is great news considering all my amp racks” are typical comments. Pro users appreciate the USA made, lightweight aluminum design, which is under 6.8kg (15 lbs). That is 19,000 watts of power in a 10 space rack weighing only 75 lbs (5 DCM3800L’s).

The concert stage is the ultimate test for any amplifier. For the last decade, the DCM amplifier has made its mark serving top artists and concert venues. Designed rugged for touring or fixed installations, these amps will outlive any function. They are built to serve. Carvin DCM amps ENGINEERED TO A HIGH STANDARD are a proven American-made workhorse The DCM Series features a heavy-duty backed by a rock-solid 3 year warranty. galvanized steel chassis.

through holes - soldered under, on top and through each component. SMT construction offers “shock-proof” protection. Every DCM is engineered to a higher standard for unsurpassed sound quality and durability making it one of our most successful products.

RMS RATED The DCM’s headroom reveals its high dynamic power from the Switchmode power supply that operates up to 130,000 Hz. Expect every model to deliver its full rated RMS power. Read about Carvin’s kick drum test where DCM’s deliver their full RMS power into the most demanding subwoofer system.

ground loops. A “Parallel Input” switch eliminates the “Y” adapter for paralleling channels.

The mono “Bridge” switch delivers the full power of the amp (both channels) into one output. Limiters are available at the push of a button to help control peaks protecting drivers.

Connecting is done with balanced XLR and 1⁄4- inch TRS inputs. Outputs feature Speakon™, binding posts, and 1⁄4-inch connectors.

The soft-start circuit gently turns the DCM on preventing AC breakers from tripping.

COOL DESIGN A high efficiency heat transfer system offers the most advanced cooling, which is one of the keys to reliable power. High ratio 6063-T5 flow-through aluminum heat sinks remove heat fast with 2 ohm loads from quiet, multi-speed fans. Air is pulled from the rear and exhausted to the front keeping the rear of your rack cool. “Direct Mount” output devices eliminate thermal barriers to run cooler.

ACCESSORY GROUP The accessory group features recessed front controls with status indicators that won’t get bumped or easily moved.
