Carvin CTM4

I'm thinkin of getting one with a goldtop. I would probably swap out the pu's as soon as it arrives. Anyone have or played one of these. Another plus for me is I'm lefty and overall really like the feel of their necks.

ive played the ct6m which was amazing. actually planning on getting one soon. the necks are so wonderful especially with the tung oil. its a good idea to switch the pickups since the stock ones are mediocre. where do you happen to live? if you are in LA, the hollywood carvin store offers 1 yr free setups/maintenence if you buy from them.

I'm on the east coast in DC. I think I may get one this spring. I'll probably swap out the pu's and restring it a little heavier.

I have one and it has become a workhorse guitar for me. I put Seymour Duncan pickups in it (Custom Custom/Jazz) but otherwise it came from Carvin perfectly setup. It really is a great guitar and I played it at 200 shows last year and it has held up great.

when i was at the carvin store the sales guy said that the guitars usually come well set up but every once in a while it gets messed up which explains some of the poor reviews on this site hehe. since u r planning on changnig the pickups and setting the guitar up with a higher string guage i dont think it matters very much if the guitar comes a little outta tune or something like that. carvin really does make awesome stuff at a nice price. what pickups do you plan to install?
