Description: Carvin Corporation, originally founded in 1946 as the L.C. Kiesel Company, is a family-owned manufacturer of guitar amplifiers and audio equipment based in San Diego, California. The company's history is rich, starting with the production of guitar pickups and steel guitars, and later expanding to include a wide range of instruments and professional audio gear. Known for its innovative use of plastics in the 1940s and its direct-to-consumer sales model starting in the 1970s, Carvin gained popularity for its custom-made guitars and basses, attracting notable musicians. In 2015, the company split into two entities: Kiesel Guitars, which continues to produce guitars and basses under the Carvin Guitars brand, and Carvin Corporation, focusing on amplifiers and audio equipment.
