Like others have said, Carvin are good well made guitars, but they don't hold their value very well on the used market.
I wanted a Carvin guitar because of the all the guitar ads they had in Guitar Player and Guitar World back in the 80's.
After 46 yrs., I finally scored my 1st Carvin at a pawnshop last year for an AMAZING price.
