A guy posted this on the Kiesel/Carvin FB fan page.. 
Hey people, does anyone know if the 20" radius is available on the Bolt Classic (as an option 50, I'd assume).
I sent a mail to Carvin about it, but I'd imagine they're pretty busy with NAMM coming up etc.

Considering the Greg Howe model is a Bolt with 20" radius, they should be able to accommodate you - Provided the specified bridge saddles have adjustable height.

I hate to stir anything up (especially on their official forum) and didn't think it warranted a whole new thread, but...
What's Mark's role in the company these days?
Most of the innovations and new options/models seem to have been brought to us by Jeff.
However, Mark brought us the CT, the SH550/FG1, the HH2, etc etc etc etc. I hope his eye for design, balance, proportion and detail don't take a back-burner. I loved the Carvin/Kiesel take on the Jazz Bass with the JB, which I believe was still under his watch. While the Kiesel Lithium pickups seem well-received, I wish there to be continuing development in non-modern-sounding pickups.
Nothing against Jeff, it's just that I hope the entire focus of the company doesn't go after chasing the metal market. And perhaps Mark is backing off and looking towards retiring...and if that's true, I hope jeff's vision includes those of us who have wants and needs that differ from players like those from Falluja and August Burns Red.

Unless I'm mistaken, Mark is still designing/winding pickups, including the new Holdsworths.
It's not.
Seriously.
5 minutes with one and you'll be wondering why it's taken so long to gain popularity.

If you look at all the Instagram pictures of namm, you will only see kiesel branding, and only see kiesel Guitars.
No carvin name to be seen... And no carvin models either.
At least yet.
Might be nothing, but my post was silenced/censored on the other forum so maybe not nothing

The Jason Becker 7 string model (brand new 2016 model) is branded with Carvin.. so there's that. I get what you mean though, none of the signage says Carvin anywhere. I think we all know eventually Jeff wants to phase out the Carvin name.. but I know my next 2 or 3 guitars will be Carvin branded, with maybe the exception being if any kinda fanned fret Vader's come out and I have no choice.
