Here's a very
rare SH225. Not only is it finished in black (most were clear),
but this one also has a factory-installed Floyd Rose tremolo. |
|
This is a more
convention SH225, with FTB6 fine-tuning tailpiece, which makes it from
the late 1980's. |
|
Another shot
of the above SH225 - note the flamed top and sides. |
|
This SH-225 in
gloss black from 1986 is a rather rare find, and looks to be in
excellent condition. |
|
Here's a mid
1980's SH225, with Schaller B6 bridge and chrome hardware. |
|
This is a rare
one from Carvin's era of selling Hofner-made archtop models. This
one is a 1974 AS50. |
|
Similar to the
one above, this is an AS50B from 1974. Notice that it has a
different neck (but still made by Höfner), and a Bigsby vibrato.
|
|
Another rare
archtop! This is a 1976 AS51, in excellent condition. |
|
Here's a
closeup of the above AS51. |
|
This is a
CM140B from the early 1980's. |
|
In a wild case
that was relined at some point is this 1985 CM140. |
|
This
CM140 is one of those that keeps appearing on eBay. |
|
This
is a CM140 from 1978. |
|
Here's a 1979 CM130. The CM130 was the entry-level equivalent to
the CM140, and didn't have the fancier features like block inlays or
stereo wiring. |
|
Another
classic! This is a CM95 from about 1973. |
|
This is a
1976 CM96M, in natural maple with maple fingerboard. The pearloid
pickguard is not stock. |
|
This
is a 1977 CM140, finished in black, with chrome hardware and chrome
pickup covers. |
|
Here's
another 1977 CM140, fbut
this time, with a maple fingerboard. |
|
This is an
early to mid 70's SS75. |
|
Here's another
vintage model - in this case, a 1962 model #62-SGB. |
|
This 70's
model SS65 looks nice, but it has been the victim of a refin - no
Carvin guitars of this era were red. |
|
A great old
model! This is a model #1-SGB from about 1960. This one sold
for over $600. |
|
Here's a
model #3-SGB from the late 1950s. |
|
The SS85 was
the successor to the SS65 - pickguard and control layout is similar, but
the SS85 had humbuckers and a different Höfner neck. |
