Just wanted to chime in here real quick. '22 SE McCarty 594 I had my tech call me the other day asking "what the hell happened to the bridge!?' Told me it was bowed downward and thought I was beating the hell out of it. Anyway, he straightened it out and all is well and plays like a dream for...

Yeah I'm really happy with it. Being a Les Paul player most of my life this just feels more natural. It's got a slight bit of a chunky neck, but I'm kind of used to that. But no doubt it's screams now. I did a quick setup I still have to set the intonation properly I'll get as far as I can and...

I read your whole post about your McCarty. And I couldn't agree with you more. It's a great instrument but just needs a little tweaking. I didn't like the way the electronics were housed inside at all. There's a lot of blowouts and you can see that the wood had chipped on the inside. In fact...

Done gang! Still needs a proper setup but I've got it close. Love it!

I love it. Just need to finish up a few things and I'll post finished pics

Ok, all of my parts have arrived. Here's the plan. Swapping pickups to a Tremonti set. Changing electronics to CTS 500k pots with orange drop caps. Changing the all black guyker locking tuners to Mann's vintage style nickel/cream lockers. Swapping all plastic from black to cream (ivory). Do a...

Hi, they are indeed the stock pickups. However the previous owner changed the covers. He preferred the look of the black more than the Chrome. Either way I'm not really big on the sound of the pickups that are in it so I'm going to swap them. I will be taking them out either today or tomorrow...

You know it!

Thanks! I did see the Metals as well. I'll check out the tomahawks

Hey gang, Finally decided to join the PRS family. I've been playing roughly 35 yrs. Mostly LP style guitars for years now. Several Gibby's, a few MIJ copies as well as a couple of strats, tele, etc. Really wasn't thinking of buying another guitar but the PRS design and popularity has always...

Hey gang glad to be here. Finally decided to join the PRS family. I've been playing for roughly 35yrs. Started with metal stuff and eventually learned appreciate just about everything really. I've been playing mostly LP style guitars for years. Several Gibby's, a few MIJ copies as well as a...

Hey gang glad to be here. Finally decided to join the PRS family. I've been playing LP style guitars for years. Several Gibby's, a few MIJ copies as well as other stuff. Anyway, picked this up on Reverb the other day and I'm really impressed with the build quality of the SE. However, I...
