Carvin TL60

I ordered this guitar from the Carvin web site, without talking to any of the sales people on the phone or anything. It was quite a weird experience.

Notable features:

  • Alder neck and body, tung oil finish
  • Active electronics and Fishman Piezo-Acoustic bridge
  • C22N and C22B (later swapped out for a M22SD)
  • Coil tap switches for both pickups.

I have since sold this guitar to my bass-playing friend Tony, and replaced it with a similar instrument (see Carvin DC127).

Sometimes I feel a little silly about selling this because its playability was extremely high, it just felt really comfortable. The DC127, although I liked the slight changes in specifications that I made, just doesn't feel the same.

Tony is really enjoying it so I'm glad about that.
