anotherfreak Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I know it's Carvin Chicks would dig it!
Jeff R Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Why do chicks dig it? Because... Here's your tutorial on how the warrior wielding this weapon dresses for battle.
DavidE Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I remember looking at those catalogs in the 80s. I actually had two DC150s and a 1/2 stack.
Jack C Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 It's not cool. (I woulda just STFU and kept my feelings about fugly, pointy Carvins to myself, but you did dare us to say it...)
cmatthes Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I remember looking at those catalogs in the 80s. I actually had two DC150s and a 1/2 stack. Yeah, but did you have the leather pants and that hair? Craig Chaquico was a phenomenal guitarist, but all that talent was wasted in that shitty band the shittiest band EVER .
kurtsstuff Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 They're only cool if they have the "V" type headstock...
JES1680 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I gotta say I never liked the V220's. Always looked wrong to me. BUT! Found this in a G/C for about $100.00 less than the standard HFC price, and Ive really learned to like it. One hellova nice playing guitar for when I want to re-visit the 80's. I also prefer the old Gibson V style headstock vs the newer BC Rich-lookin thing.
Steve Haynie Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 I wanted one of those Carvins back in high school. Craig Chaquico played a quilted maple version when I saw Jefferson Starship in 1983 or 1984 on the Winds Of Change tour.
MCChris Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Craig Chaquico was a phenomenal guitarist, but all that talent was wasted in that shitty band the shittiest band EVER .They were okay until they dropped the "Jefferson" part of their name. "Jane," "Find Your Way Back," etc. are some pretty potent rockers.As Starship they were booked at a 2,000-seater on the MSU campus during the Knee Deep In the Hoopla tour. I was the entertainment editor of the college paper at the time and when the show got cancelled, I called the promoter to find out why. She told me that fewer than 10 tickets had been sold.
Willie G. Moseley Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 I had more experience w/ the bass (V-440, IIRC) but both the guitar and the bass seemed to be phenomenally balanced and ergonomic for a pointy instrument...or so it seemed at the time.
atquinn Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Ugh. That pointy headstock is ludicrous!-Austin
LordOfTheThighs Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 I had a red one like this, 7 or 8 years ago. Black hardware on it. I think I traded it toward something else.

MCChris Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Ouch, ten tickets. Kinda reminds me off most of my shows!"The gig in East Lansing is cancelled. I wouldn't worry about it. It's not a big college town."

Scottcrud Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 I had a black one with a Kahler on it back in the early 90 or 91, paid $300 for it at a pawn shop and it was almost new. Very fast neck with a super low action. Traded it for another guitar...

But as to the guitar, it doesn't float my boat.
Disturber Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Headstock is extremely ugly. Body is cool.

But as to the guitar, it doesn't float my boat.That's why I said "okay." The AOR sound of the Jefferson Starship absolutely pales in comparison to the Jefferson Airplane stuff, but I like the tunes I mentioned above, especially the guitar tones. So, they went from "fantastic" to "okay" to "total crap" LOL.
Guest JackButler Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 I like the pointies later/90s version better.. make it snow white metal flake.

I was the entertainment editor of the college paper at the time...So can I assume you are a fellow MSU alumnus ? I often wondered if you had been in that area for any length of time given your frequent references to Elderly Music. I myself have fond memories of that frozen tundra from '75 to '79.
