He played two separate double-cutaway models with Kahler locking tremolo systems and stock Carvin humbuckers in the neck and bridge position. In conjunction with longtime friend and virtuoso artist Jason. The talented Sarah Benton, who builds guitars for a living, set out on a dream to build a guitar exactly like one of Gary Beckers painting for Jason. Marty took to the V220, while Jason bonded with the more traditional DC200. The JB200C is based on Jasons DC200 the guitar that he himself chose when he went to Carvin for a custom shop guitar. The JB24 Jason Becker Tribute Guitar is a modern take on the 'Numbers' guitar Jason designed but was never fully produced.
#JASON BECKER CARVIN GUITARS SERIES#
In one of Becker’s interviews, his father narrates his thoughts about his late 80’s Carvin DC series guitars. In this video posted Thursday, November 14, by Carvin Guitars, the Carvin gang and Jason Becker take a close look at Beckers original late-Eighties Carvin guitars. To kick off Kiesel Guitars' 1st Anniversary, as well as the 70th Anniversary of the founding of Kiesel/Carvin Guitars, we've taken two of our most acclaimed models, and put them together in one unique, limited edition guitar that's sure to blow you away. In 1988, up-and-coming neo classical guitar virtuoso Jason Becker and his Cacophony bandmate Marty Friedman came to Carvin Guitars in search of their ideal instruments. Carvin honors neo-classical guitarist Jason Becker with a tribute guitar, the Carvin JB200C, based on his original DC200. The JB24 Jason Becker Tribute Guitar is a modern take on the 'Numbers' guitar Jason designed but was never fully produced.Because of the widespread acclaim of Carvin Guitars JB200C Jason Becker Tribute Guitar, and our long relationship with Jason, creating a new and improved version of this well-known but seldom-seen guitar was a logical step for the Custom Shop.
#JASON BECKER CARVIN GUITARS UPGRADE#
In response to Jason's legions of worldwide fans, we are proud to introduce the JB200C Jason Becker Tribute Guitar. The Custom Shop worked with Jason to replicate as closely as possible the Carvin DC200 that was one of his main instruments in the 80s and 90s. This new model is loaded with standard features, including a 4A flamed maple top and matching pointed inline headstock, original Floyd Rose tremolo with locking nut, flamed maple fingerboard with abalone dot inlays, tung-oiled hardrock maple neck, black hardware, M22SD & M22V pickups and active electronics. Jason's original guitar was finished in Sapphire Blue, but you can choose from any of Carvin's translucent flamed maple finishes, or upgrade your top wood to 4A quilted maple. You can also upgrade to Carvin's Deep Triple Step finish, which adds an almost 3-dimensional depth to the figure of the wood. A signature Jason Becker truss rod cover adorns the headstock. By 1986 in his Cacophony days Becker shifted completely to Carvin guitars.
