+1 on that! I just can't justify an electric 12 string. ;-(
If you can't justify an electric 12 string, you just aren't trying hard enough. Just sayin'.

That applies to more than half the new amps being sold though, doesn't it?A friend of mine brought over a Carvin ss amp because it was cutting out. The entire amp is a 6x2 inch strip in a cavernous chassis. When it finally craps out, I plan on building an 18 watt with reverb in it. Literally impossible to service.
the other had to be either sears or amway?there were two catalogs i remember being fond of in my teenage years. One of them was carvin.
And here my money was on Victoria's Secret.Musician's Friend, of course.

IIRC, the Keisel family that has owned Carvin fron the outset are just changing the name back to the true family name. Same company, same family. It seems there was some sort of contractual issue way back in the day that kept them from using their family name, or something like that.
LMAO!!!I wonder if the Zappas are involved somehow....
The Sears catalog WAS the Victoria's Secret catalog of the day...

Their biggest problem tto me is what GAD said, horrible resale value on their guitars. I've played a few, and to me they have the same problem PRS's have in that they look really good but have zero soul. I know some people love them but to me they are just sterile.
