The Carvin Bolt is the California music company’s submission into the customizable “Super-Strat” market. Though Carvin is generally renowned for their set-neck guitars, they remind us that they used to make bolt-on neck models many decades ago, so the design is nothing new for the mail-order only company. Since everybody these days offers a Strat-style guitar, the question then becomes, what does Carvin add to the market? As you’ll see soon, they add quite a bit!

As is the case with all of their guitars and basses (except for the Cobalt series), Carvin’s Bolt series can be purchased with a number of options, including customizations of wood, hardware, color, and pickups. The guitar we reviewed came with an alder body and a beautiful flamed maple top with crimson red finish. We got a humbucker in the bridge position and a black perloid pickguard. We left the single coils in the neck and middle positions, just so we could still get some viable Strat-like sounds. We also ordered the Bolt with the Wilkinson vibrato bridge.

With respect to the guitar’s electronics, it relies on a master volume and tone as well as a standard Stat-style five-way selector switch. It also has two mini-toggles. One allows you to add the bridge pickup in positions four and five while the other allows you to split the bridge humbucker. As you can see, the Carvin Bolt-T has a huge palette of sonic possibilities.

Try as we could, we just couldn’t get the Wilkinson bridge to go out of tune, and that was with some serious whammy-bar action. Of course, we also opted for the locking Sperzel tuners, so those coupled with the Graphtech nut went a long way to keeping the Carvin Bolt-T in immaculate tune.

We ordered our Bolt-T with an ebony fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo stainless steel necks. Carvin necks are some of the best-playing in the world, and the Bolt-T is no exception. The guitar’s 25.5″ scale and 15″ radius felt amazingly comfortable, and the necks tung oil finish was very smooth and added to the playability. Like all Carvin guitars we’ve ever played, the Bolt-T was smooth, fast, and silky.

When we opened the box, we were amazed that the Carvin Bolt-T was actually tuned to pitch and didn’t require any adjustments when we removed it from the light but bulletproof ABS case. Again, Carvin just amazed us with their attention to detail.

Perhaps the most compelling feature of the Carvin Bolt-T is the price. We had numerous quality upgrades and options, and the instrument still cost us less than $1,000 including shipping and the hardshell case. While we still love our Fender Strats, it’s hard to justify the cost of a new Fender when you can get a new or used Carvin for much less.

All in all, the Carvin Bolt-T is an amazing guitar for the cost, especially if you can find a used one. If you want a guitar that gives you world-class sound and playability at a low price, the Carvin Bolt-T is sure to satisfy!
