a great tone and seems to play just fine i just dont play it enough to justify keeping it around

Boo,
I could be mistaken, but your Carvin appears to be a model #8DHG-5B with an AP-8 pickup. Carvin made those for years, with the majority of them being sunburst in color. In 1966 it sold for $69.90 w/o case or legs. Chrome plated legs were $19.90 and so was the hard shell case. I too used to drool over these items in the Carvin catalog.
Cheers!
Benton
PS. The Evans amp I bought from you is still purring like a kitten! |

Russ, thanks for the link to those catalogs that is awsome stuff. i really dig old ads on steels an other instruments in fact, i have a pretty good collection of old ads from back in the day and alot of them i have had sighned by the endorsers like Charlton,pete drake,emmons,ect.. hey russ tell ole Mark (I cant even pronounce his last name so i wont even try to spell it)  . Fiddle player, that lisa and i said hey and lisa says hey to you too .
Do you fellas think i might be a little high on the price? dont hold back let me know.. see ya boys down the road..

Above are from the 1968 catalog but the model didn't change much over the years it was offered. Sometimes in sunburst but more often natural maple. Adjustable or non-adjustable polepieces. Legs were an upcharge. You had to buy a case with the instrument. They also sold a parts kit which was everything but the body for do-it-yourself-ers.
