Found this odd bird locally for 2 bills....needs some TLC but wow --- what craftsmanship.
72 Et-290 -- they ran 220.00 NEW in 72 pricey for that time.....this was the "Deluxe" model.
--somewhere in time a carvin neck pup and dimarzzio bridge where added (probably in the late 80s....Hari Bands ya know)

ANyway thought you al might enjoy

NICE.

thanks guys....yes its awesome -- and thank you Raiyn the super special input jack you dropped on me was PERFECT when the 40+ year old input jack crapped the bed early this a.m.
Now with fresh cleaned pots and 3 way switch and a spanking new jack.....this little beastie will ROCK on for many more years

FYIE both pups are very versatile and do cleans suprisingly well.....just roll of the volume a bit---
the position and palcement of the neck pup gives it a more "'stratish" woman tone upper fret access is ---well un encumbered......its a damn fine little "git"

Those PureTone jacks are wonderful little things. A bit overpriced at the moment, but find them on a deal.
It's obviously better than the broken one, but how do you like it so far?

@Dave J was surprised at how nice the S22s in The Lady are, so it brings a smile to my face to hear you're enjoying your Carvin.

It's too bad the marketing people decided to overhype the "tone benefits" rather than focus on the things actual users are going to notice and care about.

She is home........

Right above the battle station for easy access.
