I've always liked Carvin products ever since I got my first Carvin catalog in 1968 as a kid.

Carvin made some nice D8 and T8 guitars in the 50's:

Model #8806-B double neck 8-string

Model #88806B triple-neck 8-string

What is the scale of the Carving steel guitars?


Here's a link to them in the Carvin Museum:

One of these days I'm going to track down one of these.


Thanks!
