How do you feel if someone buys a Carvin, then later refinishes the guitar on their own? So disassembling and reassembling a guitar does not suddenly remove it's provenance and therefore it's value. A good source to check for this kind of information is George Gruhn of Gruhn Guitars in Nashville.
Every Stradivarious violin that is being used today (and is worth millions!) has had some kind of repair work done to it to keep it in playable 's hundreds of years old, fer cryin' out loud! These repairs, if done properly, do not affect the value of the instrument. Many vintage Martins have had a neck reset. Gibsons also get work done on them, including neck resets, broken headstock fixes, and refinishing (although refinishing and repaired headstocks lower the value of a 'vintage' instrument I don't know if a properly done neck reset would. Vintage Fenders get pulled apart to authenticate them for resale value, and it does not hurt their value on the vintage market.
Guitars get taken apart and put back together all the time. If you take a true carving* (Carvin) guitar apart and put it back to gether, yes, it's still a Carvin. and therefore it does not carry the Carvin 5-year warranty, greatly reducing it's value (though not necessarily it's quality). Now to confuse myself even more if you took a true carving ( sic) guitar and took it apart and put it back together again is it no longer a Carvin?Ī guitar that is assembled of Carvin parts isn't a Carvin because they did not do the finish work or the set up before it left the factory. It is a guitar that was assembled using Carvin parts. Purpledc wrote: Technically a guitar that isnt assembled by Carvin isnt a Carvin.
