I read this entire 12 year old post. In defense of Carter/Magnums:
Do not pass up an opportunity to buy one of these excellent guitars.
Carter's attempt to make an affordable starter guitar unfairly blemished the entire pro line and bled over to the Magnum line,
which is a pro level build in every respect, not cheap at all. The shot blast finish on metal parts probably to blame....we are used to shiny pretty.
The happy result for any buyer is a relatively lower street price than a 'gold standard' PSG.
I can also testify to ZERO cabinet drop, and it has a nice 'growl'.
The only cons I can find: rear legs have limited, although adequate adjustability, and the beefy Carter case makes this lightweight guitar heavier to haul around than is necessary (58 lbs). Neither should be a deal killer.

Keith, I’ve owned a magnum now for a couple years and really love it. The bell cranks are upgraded on that guitar versus the older carters. The upgrade is so much better without the dog bone. Good tone, easy playing, and it stands up.
Out of the four guitars ion, MSA, studio pro, justice judge, Williams and the magnum. It hangs in right there with those guitars. You wouldn’t be disappointed. |
