Sorry, they were on Photobucket and the links stopped working.
Here’s the original pic I used to start the thread. It’s the Faded McCarty Burst, McCarty Singlecut that I named The Hammer Of The Gods. Played it tonight, in fact; still an appropriate name for this guitar, and yes, it sounds better than it looks.

Very nice! I think these were probably the last PRS guitars with mammoth ivory, no?Sorry, they were on Photobucket and the links stopped working.

That’s what I read a few years back. I doubt I’d be able to distinguish the mammoth ivory from Corian, actually!
Prehistoric Corian.

The trouble was they also could not distinguish it from Loxodonta Corian. So, very valid point!That’s what I read a few years back. I doubt I’d be able to distinguish the mammoth ivory from Corian, actually!

You were the inspiration for me running down this one, Les......You are getting pretty good at spending my money!
It’s a Private Stock model that was called the McCarty Singlecut. Has a thicker body than the Core models, maple binding along the fretboard, Madagascar rosewood fretboard, African ribbon mahogany back, 57/08 LT pickups, 24.5 inch scale length, squared-off jumbo frets, and some secret sauce tweaks I don’t know much about, however it sounds and plays great. The birds are mammoth ivory, which, big deal, right?
You can probably find out more about it searching through PRS’ website for their PS models.

So nice! Glad to be of service!
Not Core, actually. It was a PS run; a few were slated for Artist Relations (Tim Pierce bought one, so did Howard Leese, and several others).
Jack Gretz snagged two for his store, and that’s where I got mine.

I’ll describe it to you! It’s a warm summers evening, you are standing in the Scottish Highlands, the night sky is full of stars like you have never experienced. There is a silence and all of a sudden the sky begins to sway and dance, colours you can only imagine, purples, aquamarine.....I can't see your pics, Les
