We also opted for the Wilkinson tremolo system, an ebony fingerboard, and 22 medium-jumbo stainless steel necks. We stuck with single coils in the middle and neck position just so we could cop some convincing Strat tones. A black pickguard was custom ordered as was a humbucker in the bridge. Our review model had an alder body with a flamed maple top, and a crimson red finish.

Read on and see why the Bolt is one of the best kept secrets in the guitar industry. The Carvin Bolt is their low cost Strat-style guitar, but don’t confuse the Bolt’s low price with low quality. In recent years, Carvin has branched out from the “shredder” market they were known for in the 1980’s, offering a wide variety of instruments at a reasonable cost. Because of their direct only sales, you either had to know someone who owned a Carvin or be lucky enough to find a used one locally, which was rare. The Carvin Bolt-T is a world-class instrument at a pawn shop cost, offering world-class playability, looks, and tones.įor some time, Carvin guitars were sort of an “inside” secret amongst guitar players.
