that's ridiculous. yet another reason I don't care for Carvin. :laughing7:

 

[Kaoskadosk]

I do NOT want to tune that thing.

 

[ORCRiST]

That looks like a 'Happy Gilmor" guitar. Just like his putter, its designed so he can play hockey in a pinch!

The color is just... puke. At first glace I swear it looks like more than 12 tuners on that thing as well.  :icon_thumright:

I think I would have to count the tuners every time I went to tune the guitar, otherwise I would get lost and tune the wrong string. :sad:
Tuning a guitar should not require that much thought!

Also, neckdive...

Now that's one helluva headstock.....I like it.... :headbang:

But it does look a bit ridiculous on the guitar.... :dontknow:

It was the 80's.

i like it! try finding a case for that thing though...

 

[Cagey]

That's certainly different. Gotta be a ton of lateral stress on that nut; probably wouldn't take much to pop it off unless there are dowel pins under it or something to give it shear strength. I'll bet it's relatively easy to play, though. Carvin makes some very nice necks, albeit in a very limited style and construction.

That would be a trick, but the ad says it comes with a hardshell case. In fact, there's even a picture of it. Judging by the extra headroom, it's probably a bass case.

I remember those - the doubleneck 12/6 looks like a total hair-metal shredmeister's wet dream.  Pluck that 12-string for the prom-ballad intro, and then cut to the 6 for the blazing chorus!

80's razzle-dazzle at its finest.

 

[DangerousR6]

BC Rich and Kramer had a better idea....

 

[Cagey]

At 14 pounds, you wouldn't want to be wanking on that thing for long.

 

[bagman67]

Yeah, Carvin was into a lot of sold maple guitars back then.  Hernia-caster, anyone?

 

[Mor Paul]

When I saw it, I had to scroll down a bit to see the end. Reminded me of the ship at the opening of Spaceballs.

 

[Jackson56]

As a Jackson/Charvel fan, I would want it for the pure ridiculousness of it.  But realistically, that is a "For Stage Use Only" guitar.  Not to mention, one little ding and you would knock the headstock off.

How about a ridiculous pattern of chrome-black-gold tuning machines? :tard:
