1978 Carvin CM130C Original Owner All Original EXCELLENT!
STORY…
I am the original owner of this beautiful guitar. I have owned and cared for it for over 45 years. I purchased it NEW in 1978 direct from Carvin USA in Southern California (now Kiesel Guitars). The guitar was always stored indoors in the original case. She’s in EXCELLENT condition with only slight buckle rash on the back of the body, but so slight you can’t even see it in the close-up pictures. The guitar has all original components, has never needed repair or neck adjustment, and no fret buzz.
