Greetings all,
I am in search of information regarding Carvin (and Kiesel, the Carvin predecessor) steel guitars. I run a site dedicated to Carvin gear covering the past 50 years, The Carvin Museum (http://www.carvinmuseum.com). I have most of Carvin's catalogs from 1955-present scanned, as well as tons of data, primarily on guitars, basses and amps, and I want to expand on the steel guitars that made up the bulk of what they produced in the 50's and 60's. There's quite a bit of steel info up there now, but I want to expand on it as much as possible.
What I need: catalogs from 1957, 1958, 1961, 1963, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1972, 1975 & 1977. If you have one, you can send it to me, and I'll scan it and return it, or you can scan it, or I'll buy it, or whatever. Credit, linkage, whatever will be given, of course. I also would like good "beauty shots" of any Carvin steels and/or laps, and especially headstock photos showing the various Carvin logos. And really, anything else that you lot may have pertaining to Carvin steels - anything at all.
The site is totally not-for-profit, and I am just trying to get the most accurate and detailed information regarding these instruments. If you're a Carvin fan, swing on by - there's about 400 pages of data, and well over 3000 pictures of various Carvin gear.
Thanks very much (and thanks to b0b for hooking me up)!

Kevin, It's ironic for me that you bring this up. I had just posted a link to pictures that an acquaintance posted of a Carvin Lap steel. They may or may not help you, but I thought it may have been a unique item.

I'm not a Carvin fan, but am always interested in learning about brands that have a good following (I certainly don't rule them out!). |
