News and interesting stuff from Carr Amps.
Seven-string guitarist Charlie Hunter came by Carr Amplifiers last Saturday to pick up his new Rambler, which he used that evening at his show in Raleigh. He called later to say how much he enjoyed the amp, describing the sound as open from bottom to top, wide, and not boxy. He also said that thanks to the Rambler he’d found himself playing harmonics he’d forgotten he was able to play.
We just received this photograph of guitarist extraordinaire Bill Frisell playing his new Sportsman 1×12 combo. Bill has also owned a Mercury.
Our first dealer in Mexico, Quality Guitar, will soon receive their first Carr Amp!
