Carvin TL60

I ordered this guitar from the Carvin web site, without talking to any of the sales people on the phone or anything. It was quite a weird experience.

Notable features:

• Alder neck and body, tung oil finish
• Active electronics and Fishman Piezo-Acoustic bridge
• C22N and C22B (later swapped out for a M22SD)
• Coil tap switches for both pickups.

I have since sold this guitar to my bass-playing friend Tony, and replaced it with a similar instrument (see Carvin DC127).

Sometimes I feel a little silly about letting this one go, because its playability was extremely high – it just felt really comfortable. The DC127 I ordered to replace it – although I liked the slight changes in specifications that I made – just doesn’t feel the same.

Tony is really enjoying it so I’m glad about that.
