Yeah, I see some going for ridiculously high prices but you can still catch some for a good price.

Whoever priced it must have been smoking dope, lol.

Yes, I returned it. Nice guitar but I could not get the piezo system to work and I am not a fan of carvin pickups. All the Carvin guitars I have, I put EMG's in but I didn't feel like messing with that guitar with all the crazy switches and circuit boards in it. It did play very well and was a...

I've never really felt that much of a difference between the major brands unless they are coated or some different material like the cobalts, stainless, etc. I usually get the cheapest I can find as long as it is a well known brand.

For being made in USA guitars, the price for them on the used market is hard to beat even though they aren't as cheap as they used to be like everything else now. After purchasing my first used Carvin ct6, I fell in love with them and have been buying them ever since. I currently have five.

Got this Carvin Contour 66 used from GC. So far, I'm loving it. Plays and sounds really good and is in pretty much mint condition. It has the Fishman piezo bridge but unfortunately it's not working.

I only knew of a handful of companies doing ir's, so the suggestions are appreciated.

I mainly play through bias fx and have tried a few ir's including york audio, 3 sigma, and ownhammer. Was wondering what you guys were using and if there were certain ones that might be worth checking out.

There is the RG350 and 450, but neither are going to have the same specs because they are lower end. Only other one I can think of is the RG2550, but it is a higher end model.
