Harley Davidson Carvin
This one started out as a
Carvin DC150
(Their Less paul Jr. model)
I've always liked the Carvin
engineering . The playability and the no-nonscense aproach to building guitars.
The pickups are humbuckers run through a series of mini-switches to change
each pickup to a single coil at will.
This one had a solid maple
body which made it very heavy but just right for my needs.
I carved a panhead chopper
and a Harley-Davidson winged logo into the body ... along with a pair
of wings to accentuate the double cutaway. Then I replaced the "Carvin"
logo in the peghead with another harley logo engraved in mother of pearl.
It has a Danish oil finish
so you can feel the actual wood... which is a lot lighter since it's tranformation. |
