2026 Carlo Guitars E.R.I Serial #67

Carlo E.R.I. Red is a beautiful, well-made and versatile rock and roll machine.  This E.R.I. Red pairs a quiet, hard-working set of Lindy Fralin P90s with a Kahler Pro vibrato and a birdseye maple neck. The rich, red body is composed of highly figured maple & Philippine mahogany and is compact, making it both extremely comfortable, lighter and distinctive.  

Carlo guitars are made by Carl Pedigo, the retired head luthier for Lakland Bass here in Chicago.
