Richard Arnold's
Collection
Here's a trio of great Carvins.
From left to right, a very nice bolt kit, a very special California Carved
Top, and and a 2nd generation DC150. Below are
the details for each. The
CT6M is a special guitar on it's own, but Rich's has a greater
significance. It is the first production CT6M made. That's
right, number one. As if that wasn't enough, it was also shown in
the
2004
catalog.
Other features of this great guitar
include M series bridge, chrome hardware, abalone block inlays on ebony
fingerboard, mahogany neck and body, and deep blue triple-step stain on
flamed maple with matching headstock. Additionally, the back of
Rich's CT6M is stained the same as the front, unlike other CT models,
which are clear mahogany on the back.
Here's Rich's DC150, which he bought
in 2004 from the Guitar-In-Stock section of Carvin.com. This one
has gold hardware, abalone block inlays on ebony, V headstock, and clear
finish on quilted maple. Electronics consist of C22N and C22B
pickups. Next up
is this very well done Bolt kit, which Rich made in January of 2004.
It has a mahogany body and maple neck, stained in mahogany and
tung-oiled, with gold hardware and C22B bridge pickup with coil-splitter
and a pair of AP11 pickups. On the heels of
Rich's Bolt kit, he bought and built this BK5 bass kit. The body is a
gorgeous piece of walnut with a tung-oiled finish, and Rich stained the maple
neck to match the walnut, then tung-oiled it. Active electronics and black
hardware complete the package. Well done! |
