I think I have found a Carter 3/1. PSG, don't know much about the brand, But it might work for practice, and i can plac it in my practice rook in the basement, so no up and down. However the price range is in question. It seems to be in good condition, sounds ok, I mean it has the PSG sound. the fillow mentioned he would be reasonable about the price. Need to take a look at it, but has playing time, and has not been on the road. sorry I can't give you more info, but what reasonable price means I have know Idea. and only for practice. what do yuu think. I've checked prices here on the Forum and Well........ thanks for reading

Wayne as far as I know (and that is not much!) I don't believe that Carter made a 3/1. I think that even the Carter Starter was also 3/4. Can you post pics??

Unless Carter built this guy a "special" guitar, this is probably a guitar that has had 3 or 4 knee levers removed. Carter single neck guitars came standard with 3 pedals and 5 knee levers. If it is a Carter Starter, it should have 4 knee levers. The pro Carter's are great guitars. I have been playing one fro 13 years now and love it. The Starter is a different animal though. Not built as well, but still a decent guitar to learn on if it's in good shape.
This guitar has probably been stripped down and not worth a whole lot, although if it is a pro model, you can get knee lever kits to bring it back to standard.

I figure a 3+1 with a good case might be worth about $500. You can play a lot on one, too, as long as you don't get hooked on "sounds" and more modern moving harmonies. Back in the late '50s and even into the early 60s, that's all a lot of pro players had!  |
