Jake8773 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 10K Carvin DC400 REALLY? Although... it does say "No reasonable offer will be refused" I don't know about you... but I feel lucky just to have read his ad. I think guitars that have "never been touched" are SUPER rare! I wonder how the hell they built it -Robots??? I can die in peace now!!!https://www.ebay.com/itm/CARVIN-DC4...107032?hash=item285c0de7d8:g:lMAAAOSwRNRbD2dw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keoghpjk Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 The use of quotation marks in that description hurt my brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchee Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 The only shipping they offer is FedEx Priority Overnight. Also, they live in Palm Desert, which isn't far from Palm Springs and about an hour from where I used to be stationed at, at Twentynine Palms (AKA Twentynine Stumps) about 15 years ago...IIRC, Palm Desert was low-rent compared to Palm Springs and had a fair population of meth heads back then, this Ebay listing leads me to believe that they're still there.

Jake8773 Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 I really must be doing life all wrong! I am going to try and list a roll of Scott Tissue "UNTOUCHED" for $600 Bucks!!! I mean, who wants TP that has been touched anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Keisel will build that guitar for far less than $9999 and even put a Carvin logo on it. With an asking price that far out of line one should wonder if they are making a "reasonable offer" to a "reasonable person." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablo175 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 IMO, There's no guitar worth 10K... and if there was, it certainly wouldn't be a Carvin. Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake8773 Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Perhaps it's the "difficulty" of having to use the shift key and fine the quotation marks that drove up the price??? "perhaps" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tricked out DC600X (tremolo) without the electronics will set you back less than $3k. I've spent time in Palm Desert. Nice enough place but the sun will bake your brain...

HamerDave Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Maybe its a situation where the Mrs. found out what he paid for it. He inflated the value to show what a "great deal" he got and now she's calling his bluff? It could happen...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studio Custom Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 When you break into the 10k market there is a very limited pool of buyers. Perhaps a celebrity owned Carvin could fetch that amount, but I cannot think of a celebrity guitarist that used Carvins and could generate such interest. The usual variable is probably at play here. Wife wants him to sell the guitar, he lists it for an unrealistic price, now it is for sale and she gets off his ass about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana_V Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Never been touched, eh? One of those pictured shows the guitar out of the case and on a guitar stand. How did THAT happen, Mister I-Use-Too-Many-Quotation-Marks? How did it get out of the case? On its own power? Telekinesis? We wanna know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only person of notoriety I have ever seen use a Carvin guitar from beginning to end of a show was Craig Chaquico with Jefferson Starship in the early 1980's. There have been people in local opening acts that have use Carvin for an entire show. The only big name player who has used Carvin products consistently for years has been Steve Vai with his signature amps. For some reason celebrity owned amps never bring the attention that guitars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the G4 guitar camp, they sold the Carvin amp Steve used at a $500 discount to not have to deal with it otherwise at the the conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGJ Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Either it was a typo or he really doesn't want to sell it (as others have already suggested), which seems more likely...or maybe he smokes weed and the effects finally took their toll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
