Quite the monster ! Reminds me of a quad (4 neck) MAGNATONE which I once owned...huge monster ! Just too d****d heavy to haul around so I eventually sold it. Now I wish I had kept it as it would be in the "vintage" stage today .... :lol:

It's a cool steel. The two middle necks need work to be usable.

I had my brother-in-law check it out for me a while back.

If you can make or find parts for the bridges you would own one rare steel. I cant imagine Carvin made more than a handful of these. Again, cool steel!

The seller is reputable and reasonable, IMHO.

So they sold it as a kit too.

Wonder how many of those were made?

If some were sold as a kit, I would be wary of amateur finishes and sloppy assembly. I'm just sayin'.

Same one

It's a Carvin, not a Magnatone, if that makes a difference.
