  • Sale
  • Regular price $1,049.00


This Carvin DC-135 immmediately gives off 'superstrat' vibes, but it's so much more than that! Built with an incredibly smooth neck / body joint and amazing sustain thanks to its neck-through construction, this guitar has something for everybody! Upgraded with a full compliment of Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups complete with a 5-way selector and coil splitting switches, this guitar can access a huge variety of tonal configurations. The neck is a classic, inoffensive C shape with a modern poly gloss finish (easy to satin if you prefer) that's comfortable and easy to play. Also features a Wilkinson 2-point trem, locking Sperzel tuners, and includes a hard shell case!

This Carvin DC-135 is in Very Good condition. The headstock is clean with no breaks or dings. Sperzel locking tuners are in good working orders with no issues. The frets are in great shape with only modest flattening near the nut, 8.5 / 10 overall fret condition. There is one noticeable ding on the back of the neck behind the 9th fret on the treble side that can be felt when playing. It is partially through the finish, but does not negatively affect the playability or integrity of the neck. The body shows pick scratching in the playing area and around the knobs consistent with normal play. A few very small nicks are present on the body, but no dings or breaks, and nothing through the finish. Pickup housing and bridge hardware show signs of use and some of the gold has worn off of the bridge, but everything is in good working order. Pickups were pro replaced with Seymour Duncan's - Cool Rails (neck), Hot Rails (middle), and Pearly Gates (Bridge).Ā  The clear coat is cloudy in spots across the entire guitar, mainly along corners and edges, but also along the sides of the body and on the back of the neck. This clouding has not affected the feel or texture of the guitar at all. 90's molded hard shell case included, is also in Very Good condition.
