My new Carvin Bolt Plus arrived yesterday (took about 5 weeks). Let me just get this out of the way... it's an awesome guitar! I absolutely love it. It plays and sounds fantastic, not to mention that it looks stunning.
For a few months, I was seriously considering getting a new Charvel USA Production model SD1. Who on here doesn't want a American made Charvel strathead? I played a couple of them. Great guitars for sure, but I realized I could get features more suited to me by ordering the Carvin. Mainly, I wanted a trans finish and a Wilkinson trem. I'd still like a black SD1 if I can get one cheap enough down the road.
Carvin Bolt Plus specs:
swamp ash body
trans Teal finish
Wilkinson bridge
birds eye maple fretboard
locking Spertzel tuners
stock Carvin pickups
abalone dot inlays
I though I would have to change out the pups to Duncans, but once I plugged into my Line 6 amp I realized it wouldn't be necessary. Maybe it's because of the digital amp models. Anyway, it sounds and play awesome. Now for the pics.
