I’ve owned a Carvin CT6 since the model was introduced a few years ago. While I love the guitar, I’ve always longed for a 24 fret version. Finally, Carvin has come through with a 24 fret version of the CT guitar. I have to say this guitar actually outplays my much beloved PRS Custom 24, which is saying something. Carvin has become the premiere custom guitar shop builder in the United States in my view, and the CT624 is evidence of that quality.

I ordered an instrument with a flamed emerald green top with black hardware and a birdseye maple fretboard. I also opted for the Holdsworth headstock, which really ups the “cool” factor with the instrument. A Floyd Rose completed the package. It plays and sounds amazing and is one of the best Carvins I’ve ever owned, which is saying something.
