lol, I remember counting my money waiting to buy my first Carvin... I was 14 at the time. Man, I barely remember how I funded it, I think it involved washing cars for about two years Very Happy

I remember counting down to the day that i'd have enough money to order it. It never occurred to me that the wait to actually receive it would be even worse Laughing

ohhh man, I hear ya. Guitar Traq made it even worse... especially since they forgot to update mine and it was stuck on "neck construction" the entire time. I remember hours passing in agony wondering when it would finally be done.


I recall when I first saw it, I went to the Covina Carvin store (no longer open) to pick it up, and slowly opened the case. Then I saw that strange gleam that flamed maple gives off when hit by light, and I slowly broke into an ear-to-ear grin.

to this day, I think my Icon has one of the most beautiful flame patterns I've ever seen.
