A Fusion Powerhouse

This pre-owned 2011 Carvin FG1 is a masterclass in design, a direct result of the collaboration between the legendary Frank Gambale and Carvin's Custom Shop. It's a semi-hollow beast built for the player who demands articulation, warmth, and effortless speed. The chambered mahogany body, capped with a stunning Deep Orangeburst quilted maple top, delivers a rich, resonant foundation with the perfect amount of acoustic bloom and bite.

Engineered for Performance

The mahogany neck features a smooth satin finish that feels broken-in from the first note. Paired with a slick 12" radius ebony fretboard and durable stainless steel frets, this guitar is built for fluid, lightning-fast lines. The custom neck profile and minimal heel, designed to Frank's personal specs, provide unrestricted access to all 22 frets, making complex chord voicings and high-register solos feel completely natural.

Articulate and Versatile Voicings

Loaded with a set of Carvin's S-series humbuckers, the FG1 offers a massive tonal palette. The S22B in the bridge cuts through with a tight, focused attack that's perfect for searing leads, while the S22J in the neck delivers a warm, vocal-like character that's incredibly expressive for jazz and blues. Gold-plated hardware, including precision Sperzel locking tuners, completes this professional-grade package, ensuring rock-solid tuning stability through any performance.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
