Carvin Bolt S Style Kiesel 1998 Sunburst

No sales tax for customers outside California.

This Carvin Bolt came in on consignment from a local customer and friend.  We were all surprised by the guitar, finding it to be a much better player than we thought it would be.

The neck has a natural, super lightly finished feel.  The pickups really sound great.  The original frets look nearly new.  The action is low and the truss rod has room for future neck adjustments.  The guitar is all-original with no changes, repairs or issues.

The Carvin Bolt, later produced under the Kiesel brand after the companies split in 2015, is a versatile bolt-on neck guitar that debuted in the late 1990s. Known for its customizable options, the Bolt combines classic Strat-style design elements with high-quality craftsmanship and modern innovations.  It features an alder body, a tung-oiled maple neck, and Kiesel AP11 single-coil pickups for a warm, dynamic tone. 

A hardshell case is included.
