Found these videos on You Tube showing the construction of a Carvin solidbody. Very interesting..
I wonder how long they take from order to finish?

Very cool. I ordered a 7-string and an 8-string from them, got one in about 9 weeks, and the other was about 11, if I recall correctly. They used to say about 6 to 8 weeks on average, give or take, depending how busy they are and what time of the year it is.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling. -
That's pretty cool.Comment

Compare the low production of a Custom Shop with the mega production of Gibson Nashville, which is mind blowing!!

What's wrong with Greg?Originally posted by Emerald View PostI feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

Tony MacAlpine has Cancer. He and Greg Howe are not the same person.
I mean, sure, how many long haired rock and roll black guitar players were there in the 80's. And how many are still relevant today, but with short hair.
So sure, we may get the two confused from time to time. But yes, they are in deed different people.Comment

Greg is fine as far as I know. I had no idea about Tony Mac though, that sucks. Tony is a MONSTER player, too bad he is
not where Steve Vai is, in the music world. He is just as good, maybe not quite as creative, but technically as proficient.
Here is an article on Tony I found. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/tony-...-cancer-scare/Comment

Carvins are bad ass guitars, just as good, quality wise, as any other guitar on the market, IMO.Comment

That's what I was thinking. I know Tony had surgery for cancer recently, and his condition hasn't seemed to improve since the surgery, but I wasn't sure if something had also happened to Greg.Originally posted by pianoguyy View PostI feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

Sorry guys my bad, it was Tony I was thinking of not Greg, didn't mean any ill will at all. Just senility and lack of sleep a contributory factor. Back to the videos, isn't that Gibson tour just mind blowing the sheer mass quantities of production!

Greg often plays near me.
The first time I saw the advertisement, I kept looking at it and saying ---- I don't know that many black guys. Why am I to know this guy. Why do I know that name. Why do I know that face. Who dat!
And of course, because I am the typical white guy, I had to google it because they really do all look alike to us.

I'm guessing Tony will have to wear a bag for 3 months until he's got the all clear and then they'll put him back in one piece. I hope that's as bad as it is anyway!
