The CM140 was $359.00 in black or clear finishes, and was offered in a left-handed model for #369.00. There was no left-handed model offered, and it was only available in clear.
It could be ordered with a Bigsby vibrato for an additional $40.00. The CM130 sold for $249.00, and the HC11 hardshell case was an additional $41.00. Essentially, the higher quality neck with an ebony fingerboard used in the MOP inlays, while the rosewood fingerboarded-neck used decals. The CM130 has a decal resembling a sword, with a decal Carvin logo with MOP dot inlays the CM140 has an MOP inlaid Carvin logo with the double-diamond logo that would be used until the late 1980's (and is still used by Höfner to this day). The necks on both of them were made by Höfner, and the inlays were the same as the ones used by Höfner. Note the headstock inlays on these two guitars. It was stereo wired (schematic), with coil splitters in addition to the pickup controls. The CM140 used the Höfner #860 neck with ebony fingerboard and mother-of-pearl headstock and block inlays. The CM130 used the Höfner #820 neck with rosewood fingerboard, and had more simplified electronics consisting of a phase switch in addition to the pickup volume, tone and selector controls. However, these models had the same changes as the DC150 - pickup covers, a 3-knob layout, and new bridge/tailpiece. The CM130 (left) and CM140 (right) were based on the CM96 from 1976.
