This is a
great old CM-series guitar from 1978, when Carvin was transitioning from
using Höfner parts to using their own parts. This is also the year
the M22 pickup was introduced, so Dan's guitar has one of the earliest
sets of these pups around. Notice that the headstock is the Höfner
style, with "sword" inlay, zero fret, rosewood fingerboard and binding
(for more Höfner comparisons, see the
Guitar ID Guide). Chrome hardware and clear finish on maple
rounds out the package. The amp is Dan's 2003 SX50.
On a
side note, I highly recommend stopping by Dan's website, which
chronicles his days with the Blue Velvets, a hard-working band from
the midwest in the 60's and 70's. There's tons of cool
information from that era, as well additional Carvin gear played by
Dan and his sons through the years. A great site, and well
worth visiting. Visit the "Band Days" section of his site
right here.
