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.
 
Re: NGD: Carvin Allan Holdsworth HF2

This is so amazing. I am astounded they don't get much love. The quality, feel and sound are A+++. Being a hollow body it sounds very unique and the neck is fat meaty and flat as a tack 20 inch.
 
Re: NGD: Carvin Allan Holdsworth HF2

I can vouch for Carvin's build quality. I have a DC127T that's fantastic.

On a side note: What's with the switches?

I'm not sure 5-7 years old. The guy I got it from was the original orderer/owner. As the living dead said. - its pure sex - at least from an object.

I want to know does anyone out there have a carvin with a floyd rose and no locking nut that actually stays in tune? Who's **** ass idea was that Auuuuu
 
Re: NGD: Carvin Allan Holdsworth HF2

A buddy of mine has one with the Floyd and no locking nut. It stays in tune reasonably well with the locking tuners, but you cant really wail on it like you would with a locking nut. His Floyded axe has about the same range as my DC with the Wilky.

Wow KHermans collection is inspiring. I'm very envious. Do you work for Carvin?

Kramersteen... The guy wanted $1200 AUD but after I hypnotised him with my phone voice he offered it to me for $950 posted. It is immaculate.

What do you think of yours. I also like the Jason Becker reissue

Ive had a few Carvins and loved them..Just had to roll them for financial issues. Id LOVE to have one of the Becker reissues in blue! What a hot guitar! Plus, I loved their old pointy headstocks.

Never played a Holdsworth. very unique build with the beams inside and floating top. Glad you are digging it!
 
Re: NGD: Carvin Allan Holdsworth HF2

Nice! I've been gassing for one of the headless models!

Me too. There is one in eBay now for around $900 USD. It is a HH1 in yellow.

I think it will be quite some time before you'll be able to find a good selection second hand as they are so new. I only wish they had a graphite neck ala Steinberger.
