2001 Carvin partscaster Strat-style electric guitar

Partscaster, anyone? This is a 2001-made Carvin partscaster Strat that’s lightweight, features a SSH configuration with the Carvin super-extra-pole pickups, and single/bucker split switch for the bridge pickup. It’s a hardtail, too, so the vibe is practical and the sustain is excellent.

It’s got a rattlecan satin finish with mild wear here and there throughout and the neck is an interesting, wider-nut, thin-depth, ebony-board thing. It feels a bit like playing a fingerpicking-centric modern Taylor.
