	V220 / Ultra V Reissue View next topic View previous topic Carvin Museum Forum Index » Contemporary Carvin Guitars Goto page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7  Next Download Topic Author Message Kevio Super Genius Joined: 18 Feb 2005 Posts: 1337 Location: In front of the 'pooter.

So, hold off on your questions directly to them until after NAMM. You can ask here, and I will try to get you an answer. Here are the specs I have so far. V220 alder body/maple neck-thru 25" scale all wood options offered (walnut, mahogany, quilt, flame, etc) all finish options offered all fingerboard options offered 2 pickups/CT-style control layout Floyd Rose or M-bridge V headstock standard Ultra V newer ('88 - '93) body style with sharp points redesigned "pointy" headstock standard alder body/maple neck-thru 25" scale all wood options offered (walnut, mahogany, quilt, flame, etc) all finish options offered all fingerboard options offered 2 pickups/CT-style control layout Floyd Rose or M-bridge The build time right now is estimated at 12 weeks as production ramps up. Keep this in mind when ordering. PRICING HAS NOT BEEN FINALIZED - but what I heard was good. This is just the preliminary info - there will be more to come. But as I said, don't bug Carvin about it just yet - they aren't equipped to take orders yet. The X220 and V440 may be reissued down the road - but not at this time. I'll keep everyone posted. _________________ The gear: DC6, SB4000, V440, CT6T, V220C Elite, IC4, IC5P, BB70P Elite, XB75, AC40, LB70K, LB70, LB70, LB70F, XB76WPF, SB40, MB1, DN640K, DN440T, AS120, C450T, BX500, RL1018, XP4, AC120, U7500 Last edited by Kevio on Thu Dec 06, 2007 7:19 pm; edited 6 times in total emux2 Cryogenically preserved for your protection!

I'll be interested if they do a V440. How well did the V220/V440 balance? In my experience the V (not the Carvin) doesn't balance well at all. padams Perpetual Goofball Joined: 16 Dec 2005 Posts: 1063 Location: Rougemont, NC Posted: Wed Jan 17, 2007 6:31 pm    Any pics of the back, with the neck heel? And also, once I pay off my Carvin Card, can I do the 12 months no interest again? _________________ "Treat yourself like #1....because everyone else will treat you like #2" tbonesullivan New and Improved Joined: 19 Feb 2005 Posts: 3034 Location: Jersey Posted: Wed Jan 17, 2007 6:39 pm    also, finally a good pic of those damned diamond inlays! _________________ Guitars: C750, CT6M, EBlue Bolt Basses: B4A, B5 Amps: MTS3212, XB212-2, V16, B800, PB100-15, Blue X-100B Series IV Effects: Boss OD-20, Carvin XP4, AC120, ODB-3, ISP Dec. hazmat Rusher of Din Joined: 26 Jan 2006 Posts: 157 Location: Brooklyn Posted: Wed Jan 17, 2007 6:40 pm    I still think those 220/440's look best with block inlays.

This is an interesting development. I wonder if the prices will be more DC or CT, or even higher. I would be interested to know how comfortable the 220 is to sit with and as previously mentioned how well the V balances. I wonder if diamond inlays will become available on other models ? As classical player I wonder if I could sit with the lower point of the V between my legs. Hm. Interesting...they are certainly fun guitars. _________________ "I am just a startled bunny in the headlights of life": L J Young Bundy Alive again.

Certainly I'm not one to care what's between your legs, but... While sitting down I play electric guitar in a classical position. I also own a V220T and it seems made for playing in this manner. Very comfortable! Will Carvin do the standard inline headstock? _________________ I'll mend myself before it gets me I'll mend myself before it gets me I'll mend myself before it gets me I'll mend myself before it gets me... scary gary Nothing to see here,move along.

I'm glad a bunch of us kept pushing in spite of the naysayers to get the V's back at all! _________________ Vote for the return of the X-220! bundywoman Occasional Visitor Joined: 28 Jul 2005 Posts: 37 Location: winston nc Posted: Wed Jan 17, 2007 7:44 pm    I'm buying you one next week Bundy. _________________ WAnzik Member of the Family Joined: 01 May 2005 Posts: 256 Location: Helena, MT Posted: Wed Jan 17, 2007 7:46 pm    bundywoman wrote: I'm buying you one next week Bundy.
