RIP CARVIN

[Taylor Player]

Too bad but perhaps a good time to pick up an amp you've had your eye on during their liquidation sale:

They're Baaaaaaaack!

on a much smaller scale though, at least for now
...and looks like Steve Vai is still hangin' around. Maybe he bought stock...?

Who is Carvin Audio.., and what relationship do they have to Carvin Guitars?

Who is Carvin Audio.., and what relationship do they have to Carvin Guitars?

It's the same outfit.

Carvin Guitars is actually going under a different name now.
Though I have no clue what or why.

edit: it's Kiesel
still no clue as to "why".

So that explains why I quit getting Carvin catalogs in the mail a few years ago!
Heres an article in guitar world...

Carvin has always been the music biz red headed step child of sorts.
They make pretty good stuff that most people ignore...
