Also selling a mint condition Carr Skylark. This one is incredible. The design is based on the Fender Harvard, but the tone stack is so flexible that you can go from Tweed to Blackface tones. With its built in attenuator, you can have real tube warmth at low volumes.
And yes, it's awesome for jazz with beautiful cleans. The clip below isn't me, but here's a sense of the sound with the archtop.
The Carr Skylark is quite possibly the ultimate low-power American inspired guitar amplifier! It's their nod to the much loved smaller 60's amplifiers like the Fender Harvard. The guitar world has seen quite a resurgence in these lower wattage American voiced amps, not only because they sound great, but they deliver that saturated tube tone at manageable volumes.
The Carr Skylark also incorporates an extremely usable built in attenuator. When the attenuator is off, the amp supplies its full 12-watt output. When on, a control allows you to adjust between 0 to 1.2 watts. Why 1.2 watts? Trust us, 1.2 watts from this amp is louder than you might think. Typically, a 12 watt amp will provide cleans only at the lowest volumes. The Skylark delivers an impressive array of tones, including full, punchy cleans with a decent amount of headroom. As well, you can get a nice assortment of overdriven tones like blues, classic rock, and smooth, singing distorted leads.
All Carr Amplifiers we have for sale are built with the highest quality components using true point-to-point circuits. Add their impressive aesthetics, and you get a top shelf amp that both sounds phenomenal and is visually spectacular.

I had this issue with my Matsumoku Epi Emperor. It had the standard TOM bridge, same dimensions as a Gibson.
Ended up buying an ebony saddle from JV guitars. Finding a saddle with the right post...
I'm working on a bunch of new duet recordings and so far it's all been with the Emerald X7. Here's a rough mix of the first complete song. It's a new recording of Days Of Wine And Roses. It's the...
That color is based on the finish on the backs of the Lloyd Loar mandolins from the early 1900's. Amazing looking finishes that no one ever saw when the instruments were being played.
Hello everybody,
I need to ship a thinline archtop guitar, and I was wondering--is it necessary to remove the bridge while doing this? If so, what sort of tape is safe to put on top of a nitro...
After firing this video up, my extremely mean calico cat came over and sat on my lap purring for 6 minutes straight! I don't think this was a coincidence!
It's a theory text and not ONLY a playing method. For someone who claims to not think so much of theory, you rattle on about it more than anyone on the forum. Why don't you go to the telecaster...
The skoter is a bit sweeter sounding. I'm not sure if ultimately, a 10" combo would work for me at the volumes I play at but it's a very sweet little package. I wish he made a 40w version! I...

Going to bed. Bert Ligon is legit folks. Buy the book.
That book is a great basic resource. Anyway, you really shouldn't be listening to people talk about it at length who don't even own it. I've personally emailed him a couple of times, and he's super...
Yep that is the idea, "points to" is the same as saying that it is expected to resolve to that note. V7 resolves to I, but each pitch also has an expected resolution. the 3rd of the dominant resolves...
