Carvin Catalog Club

[Coda]

Was your build immortalized in an issue of the Carvin catalog?

This club's for you! Let's see those beauties - catalog pictures, studio shots, NGD links and your photos are all welcomed and encouraged!

----------------

Not mine, but I'll get things started.

Remember this issue?







Yup, it's Mr. Gumbynotpokey's handsome LB70PF Claro BEM HAN bass.

Who's next?

I am fairly sure the newest 2014 cat has at least 3 forum members guitars on the cover guitar [see it and that will make sense]

[JCG]

Does 1/6 of the cover count?

[Coda]

Does 1/6 of the cover count?

Of course!
IMMORTALIZED!!!
You get BONUS POINTS for being on the cover!

Here's my PB5 that was featured in the Jan. 2014 catalog:

A pic of her on "the job" a couple of months ago:



I used her at a rehearsal I had this morning, and she is sounding as wonderful as ever!!

Holding strong as the Carvin Bolt Plus representative for 3 issues!

Facebook sneak peak:


Lost and alone it sat in GIS without any interest or locking nut.


$30 and one locking nut later (thank you Steve S.) and it's mine all mine



Only one change made - Rosewood knobs


Hands down my current favorite Carvin and guitar for that matter.
I was never a fan of Koa, but the stripes on this one were just too much - it had to be mine!
I'm so glad I have a guitar with a floyd again (satisfies my 80s upbringing) and the HSH (new to me) is magical.

Did I mention those stripes??????

[FlyingV]

Does 1/6 of the cover count?

Yep, yours is one of the three I mentioned. SpamSpam and Hairmacht on the same cover guitar as yours.

The DC7X in Teal Swamp Ash in the latest catalog is a forum members. Spud liked that one a lot I think

[ElfDude]

They once published a letter I wrote to them in a catalog. Does that count?

[FlyingV]

I didn't count to see if your letter was a thousand words however I should think having a letter to Carvin printed in their catalog is even more rare than getting ones guitar pictured.

I vote yes though we may need spud to do a poll

[Bredo]

@Elf - That letter = two guitars IMO, as you got your name in there as well. Cool

[spudmunkey]

I vote yes though we may need spud to do a poll

NO MORE POLLS!!



Congrats to all those on their imagination for the customs that made it in, and for the great taste for those who saw something special in an in-stock to make it into the catalog!

Very well-written letter Elf! And congrats on getting it published!

[Bovine]

Congrats to all you guys who are fortunate enough to have your guitars enshrined in the Carvin Catalog, and to Coda for having the stroke of genius to open this new club! Always glad to see Carvinites getting the recognition they deserve!!

Well said!

Bovine I have to give credit to GNP for the idea for the thread, and even though I'm not a 'member' of the club, seeing all the great posts here makes me feel like I'm surrounded by celebrities! There's also something warm-and-fuzzy about seeing a guitar/bass in the catalog or in-stock, and then seeing it get a good home by a forum member. It fully connects the circle of life, or has some kind of spiritual meaning. I don't know. Maybe I just like seeing more pictures...

I vote "Absolutely"! Awesome letter.
(How about adding a photo of the aforementioned AE-185?)

I'm holding it in my avatar.
And it's well documented in the AE185 club.

Well in the spirit of community I'll say this -- actually, it was Catman and Arahobob that gave me the idea in a way -- hearing in other threads about those axes making the catalog -- BING! We need a thread on that!

Here's my "Jeannie"...







She's one of the first CT624's, built as a NAMM model.
She's still on the CT624 front page and gallery...




I've seen her in at least 4-5 catalogs in the past, though it's been awhile now...

She's also a model on this guy's site:

My CT6 has been in a couple times most recently June 2009

[fatfretty]

You're in the catalog club if you want to be, fatfretty! (Well isn't the website like a great big ever-changing catalog?)

Killer axe.


I like you're idea for the Guitars on the Website Club. Wish I could join but I'm not complaining... There's always my NEXT build...

Thanks, and good luck.
