Carvin guitars robbed!

[Jeff Hilligan]

Jeff Kiesel just posted a video on FB that they lost 16 guitars amounting to $40K. All serial numbers and pictures are available. HE is offering $5K or a Kiesel built by him for any information that aids in the investigation.

Damn thieves are the worst form of scum. I would still kill the bastard that stole my Les Paul and Taylor 814ce. That was 11 years ago and everytime I see one of these I can taste the hate

I don't know why he keeps saying $40K worth of guitars. They are definitely not worth that in the classifieds...

For insurance purposes, I'm sure.

That, plus, what they're worth in the classifieds is meaningless for his purposes anyway. Do you expect him to downvalue his own brand, for no reason no less?

16 Carvin guitars at and average of $2,500 a piece? Sure.

I almost wonder if these were packaged up guitars, like NAMM guitars or something.

The thieves clearly have poor taste. Even so, I hope they run 'em through a wood chipper when they're caught.

Dude one of the things I like about you is you spit the truth.

I don't like to see any company get robbed.

However, even the thieves didn't want to touch the 2015 Gibson Les Pauls, so Carvin must have been the next choice.

Why so much hate for Carvin?

They make guitars as good as any boutique company out there, including Suhr, Anderson etc.

You can't buy them in any store & have to order direct, but so what?

My guess is that most people hating on carvin have never even seen one in person, yet alone played one.

Yes, the resale value is not great, but does that make them poor quality guitars?

I have 3 Carvins & they're amazing, well built, quality guitars. On par with my Suhrs, Andersons, Fender customs shop guitars etc etc.

I don't get it.
