The V220 was a guitar that was ahead of it's time. It had a totally unique look, and was destined to become one of the most popular models Carvin had offered. With MTV and other music video outlets, the V220 was seen everywhere, and was made more popular by the resurgence of Jefferson Starship (now just called Starship), whose lead guitarist (and future Carvin signature model inspiration) Craig Chaquico was often seen with one of his many V220s The V220 was made using the same craftsmanship and materials as Carvin's other guitars. The body and set neck were hardrock maple, and was available in black, white, red or clear finishes. Curly maple and koa were also offered. Electronics consisted of an M22 pickup in the neck position, and an M22SD pickup in the bridge position, with dual volume, single tone, coil splitters and a 3-way pickup selector switch. Chrome was standard on the Schaller mini M^ tuners and B6 bridge or Kahler tremolo. MOP dot inlays were standard on the 24-fret ebony fingerboard.
