There were no significant model changes in 1983, with the exception of the new FTB6 fine-tuning tailpiece, and it's non-fine-tuning counterpart, which became standard issue.  The DC160 Stereo and DC160 Koa had the same catalog photos (with the old Schaller tailpiece/bridge), and the same price as 1982.  All other models, except the DN models, got new photography to be standard with the dark background pictures that debuted in 1982.

The DC200 was also unchanged, except the bridge, but did get a new picture, showing a black and white model.   The base price of the DC200, in clear, red, white or black, remained $495, and the HC11 hardshell case was $60.  Gold hardware was an additional $50, and MOP dot inlays reduced the price by $40.

It was also available as the DC120 12-string guitar, which had a base price of $495.

The DC100 (left) also sported a new tailpiece, but without the fine-tuners of the DC200 (dubbed the B6 tailpiece).  Base price of the DC100 increased to $329, and the HC10 hardshell case was $60.

The DC150 (right) got updated photos for 1983, ending the pastel backgrounds that had been used for several years. It still had 3 different model configurations - the DC150BE, which had a black finish and ebony fingerboard, and sold for $435; the DC150 CM, which had a clear finish and maple fingerboard and sold for $415; and the DC150CE, which had a clear finish and ebony fingerboard, and sold for $435.  Red or white finishes were an additional $20, and gold hardware was available for $50.  A left-handed model was offered, at $30 additional to the model desired, and natural koa was also offered for an additional $40.  The HC10 case was $60.

Also unchanged from 1981 and 1982 were the CM130 (left) and CM140 (right).  The only new feature was the bridge/tailpiece (fine tuners on the CM140, but not on the CM130).  These Les Paul-style singlecuts were essentially the same instrument, with the CM140 offering stereo wiring and abalone block inlays, while the CM130 was mono with MOP dot inlays.  They had the same options, at the same prices, as the DC150.  Prices remained the same as 1982 - the CM130CE and CM130BE were $395, and the CM130CM was $375.  The CM140CE and CM140BE were $485 (a "CM" model was not offered) and a left-handed version was $515.  The HC10 case for any of these was $60.

The SH225, made by Höfner for Carvin, was unchanged for 1983.  The photograph was the same, as well - it had the new tailpiece in 1982.  Standard features on this semi-hollow electric were dual M22 pickups, dual volume and tone controls, pickup selector switch, ebony fingerboard, abalone block inlays and natural finish.  Also offered was the SH225S, which featured stereo wiring, and coil and phase switches.  Gold hardware was an addition $50, and a black laminated pickguard could be added for $15.  Base price on the SH225 was $620, and the SH225S was $670.  The HC18 form-fitted hardshell case was $79.
