The Carvin AE185 is an incredibly versatile, semi acoustic Guitar, very light, and has a wide variety of tones.

As the Carvin Website said of the AE185 "It's unique semi-hollow acoustic/electric configuration allows you to jump from electric lead riffs to acoustic tone with ease, giving you essentially two instruments in one."

A  ribbon transducer pickup under the saddle gives you a lush, acoustic sound, which is both warm and bright, due to the mahogany body.

The 2 C22 humbucking pickups, with 'custom wound vintage plain enamel wire, brings out the harmonically rich tone and sustain of the guitar'. The two coil splitters can then halve the humbuckers into single coils , giving you another tone altogether. With the 3 way switch allowing you to select neck, bridge or acoustic pickup, you also have a Pan control where you can blend acoustic and electric pickups. The guitar then also has Dual output jacks, allowing you to have a separate acoustic ,and electric signal through two different amps or combine the two.

 An incredible guitar, with so many tones and sounds to explore.

Comes with original Carvin hard case.
