I own a Mccarty, I love it. I just played a Mccarty 594, also love it. My questions here are, would owning both be overkill? Has anyone here had any experience owning both? Thank you!
Just go buy it so you can start talking about whether you need a second one.
IME, the difference between a one piece and two piece bridge tonally is at least as much as a difference in scale length. I suspect on average they are two fairly different animals.Why not own both if they both float your boat?
very different imo, mostly the pickups in the 594 are more articulate and of course have the push-pull's for even more tonality. the neck is also asymmetrical, giving it a different feel entirely.I have a similar question I have just got a 594 DC and love it but am very tempted to get a clearout Private Stock McCarty SC. Price is very reasonable and I would hope it would hold its value quite well. My other option is go for a P245 SH or HB 2 to give me more tonal options. How similar do people who have owned the MSC PS and 594 (core model) think they are?
