1988 Carvin V220 Neck-Thru Flying Star

One more pawn shop special, this guy hung there for going on a year before they were willing to play my song, if you know what I mean. They were playing my album but took them a while to get down to my song. It needed electronics work and it was filthy so it went from $565 to $300 in the course of about 9 months until it came home with me. Both pickups had dead coils (tampering was evident) so I dug through my parts pile and found a Duncan lynch Screaming Demon for the neck and dropped my favorite, the Duncan Distortion in the bridge. The mini toggles put the pickups in either series or parallel as opposed to the original HB or SC modes. This thing has some mass! It easily falls into the same class as the heaviest LPs. Super low action, a fast slender neck, and bite to die for makes this a shredder and a half. Somehow I can't picture any of the pretty "Hair Band" axe slingers holding this heavy machine on their shoulder for an entire gig!

It is now owned by the lead guitarist of Reigning Heir, and he has been putting it to great use! The guitar can be heard in the track "Warning" on their Music page.
