StratDudeDan Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 k, a really long time ago (back before i knew anything about guitars, even...) carvin came out with a short run (i think only 8) of guitars called the AE185 Moonflower. i've searched everywhere for it, but i haven't been able to find it anywhere. i was wondering if someone had some pics or info on this beauty, as i'm going to be doing a project a lot like it soon (as my memory recalls it, at least).

jbkim Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Have you tried asking on the Carvin forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliendude012 Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 google turned up nothing, literally. not like nothing useful, nothing at all. therefor, i contend that this moonflower you speak of does not exist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliendude012 Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I searched again, found a thread on the forums at carvins website, and apparently there were only 6(AE-185s), and they all had different names(moonflower, orchid, catfish, etc). I searched again and i think this may have been one of them, i really have no idea tho. http://homepage.mac.com/pbbeck/gear/PhotoAlbum33.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAI6 Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 That looks like the "right" model, but...... I've seen the "Catfish" one, and it had some MAJOR inlay work done. As a matter of fact, almost the whole body was covered in various woods (and possibly other materials) to create the stunning inlay of a fish swimming under the lily pads in a pond. Something Clavin could do, maybe...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliendude012 Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 id say so. the carvin boards call the ae185 series the most amazing factory custom ever built. say its worlds beyond the most recent prs dragon. so it may be, and if so, i doubt the above is an original.

JPL Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 This is the Breeze series of the AE185. It was the major inspiration for me to build Woody Woodpicker. They were inlayed by T. Breeze Verdant for Carvin. I suppose that it's not impossible that Carvin might do such a thing again but those things were not cheap. Good thing too or I would have never tried to build a guitar in the first place if I had the do re me to buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
