Carvin Musical Instruments Museum

About Me


Welcome to the MySpace site for the Carvin Musical Instruments Museum . This MySpace is specifically designed for Carvin endorsers, players and fans, as well as select friends. The Carvin Museum site covers pretty much every aspect of Carvin's history, all the way back to the late 1940's. After years of searching, I have found every catalog produced since 1954, and they're all on the site. There are thousands of pictures of guitars, basses and other gear submitted by visitors, as well as an extensive Forum with over 2000 members.

I now own the purple Carvin doubleneck bass that Steven McDonald is playing. Fantastic bass. Look for a feature on it and an interview with your's truly in the June 2009 issue of Vintage Guitar magazine.


You might've caught me on this show back in the day...
