I test drove a Carvin CT6C yesterday. Awesome axe. Mahogany body/neck, quilted maple cap in red.. Dual 'buckers with a Floyd.
Fat, clear sound. Great neck. Awesome tone. Test drove it through a Carvin Vintage amp. The bro-in-law and I were drooling over it, but we couldn't justify the $$ at the time.
Also test drove a Parker Nitefly Mojo (two, actually). I wanted to play a Fly Mojo, but I cannot find one ANYWHERE. If the Nitefly is any indication, my GAS for the Fly Mojo has just skyrocketed (I've wanted a singlecut Black Cherry Flame model since they came out). Played through a Matchless Lightning. Great amp (besides, it's almost as good as my Celtic Franklin and I needed a "true" comparison). It is likely that I will purchase a Mojo in the near future.
Played several acoustics.
Joe recommended that we visit "Guitar Row" and True Tone Music.
True Tone Music has guitars hanging all the way to the ceiling. :32:
Carvin Guitars has two rooms for private test drives.
The Hollywood GC is the largest GC store I've ever seen. Their Vintage room is larger than most music stores.:eyecrazy: There is another acoustic room in the back (actually, there are FOUR acoustic rooms) with some amazing axes that I was too scared to touch! The cheapest guitars in the room were $4500. There was a $40k guitar in there!
We hit a Vintage guitar shop and a Mesa Boogie store as well. We didn't make it to SamAsh.
