In 2015, Carvin Corporation split off the guitar business to a new company, Kiesel Guitars, which continues to build electric and acoustic guitars, MIDI synth guitars, bass guitars and other instruments under the Carvin Guitars brand as well as new, Kiesel branded instruments.
Keeping this in consideration, are Kiesel basses any good?
Kiesel basses, formerly known as Carvin, are USA-made instruments with top-notch build quality using the most beautiful top woods and tonewoods that deliver excellent value. The styles range from bolt-on to neck-thru to multi-scale to classic P or J style bass guitars. They are highly customizable.
Considering this, do they still make Carvin Guitars? Carvin Audio has announced that—after 70 years in operation—it is closing its San Diego factory and liquidating the entirety of its stock. In a Facebook post, Carvin wrote “It is with a heavy heart that we announce that the Carvin Audio factory will be closing its doors after over 70 years.
One may also ask, is Carvin a good brand?
They are high-quality, USA-built instruments, custom made for a great price. So what could be the downside? Well, there are a few, and they may or may not be a big deal to you. For one, even though Carvin has an outstanding return policy, you can’t go and try their guitars and amps before you purchase.
Is Carvin and Kiesel the same?
Kiesel Guitars is an American manufacturer of custom electric guitars and electric bass guitars located in Southern California, with a heritage dating back to 1946. In 2015, Kiesel Guitars split from Carvin Corporation, taking the guitar and bass portions of Carvin.
