He has had an absolute shocker of a year. His cutting machine carked it, he was in amongst the recent bush fires and had to move everything out. I feel for the poor guy so I'll just keep patient.

I honestly don't think anything has been done yet. 😔 I've got all the hardware and pickups waiting to be assembled.

I bet he spent all the money and he is on a island living it up. :biglaugh:

NICE man! Been a fan of Carvins for years and owned dozens of them over the years.
Only have the 1 right now in my 1990 Pearl Pink X220C but am looking hard at building a DC 300 or CT324.

These are just some of the Carvins I once owned.

 
Re: NGD: Carvin Allan Holdsworth HF2

That's pretty cool that you essentially swapped if for the Wolf, though not surprising given how Carvins go.

Never properly played a Holdsworth but felt one up - chunky neck with flat radius, pretty interesting. It was a burgundy flametop with a VS100 trem and gold hardware.

I love your X220, that is one hell of a guitar. AND.... Wow your previous collection was insane. I'm sorry you don't all have them all anymore 💔

HNGD! Thats a nice looking top. Carvin doesn't get any love, but I haven't run into one yet that didn't have top notch build quality. If you find one that speaks to you, they are a great deal.

The hell it doesn't... Haven't snagged me a good deal on a Carvin guitar yet, but I dig their amplification stuff, and own a Carvin amp & Carvin cab. Most rugged heavy duty gear I've seen yet. Carpet & metal > Tolex & cloth

😆 I have a feeling that you are the first person in history to have said - you have felt up a Holdsworth.

I very much doubt even Allans wife has made such a statement.

Out of curiosity, what is the most memorable, enjoyable guitar feel up you've had over the years? And... where did this encounter take place?
 
Re: NGD: Carvin Allan Holdsworth HF2

Sorry to go off topic, but can you share some info on the yellow guitar?

Yes, it was deliberate :P.

Apart from my #1 which I've had since 2011, I really liked the Pierre Bensusan Lowden I played recently in a shop up the road from where I live. Spanking guitar for fingerstyle. Only bad thing about it is that it's about $9200.
 
Re: NGD: Carvin Allan Holdsworth HF2

^^ Yes the short-lived signature Roadstars. There was a single hum and dual hum version. Both rare and can fetch a pretty penny - decent price on that one in the link.

Shame about the Power Rocker trem though...
