McCartys... Let's see 'em!

[Rhythmisking]

Nice set up. Love the Tenor and Soprano in the background.

There's a Roland Aerophone behind the soprano, and my alto is semi-hiding behind the guitar and bar

So is there a distinguishing attribute that makes a McCarty a McCarty?

Nice.

Cheeky little minxes, I never saw them, too busy eyeing up the Ted and the Spruce McSporran.

Generally going for a more 'classic/vintage' vibe and a 'nod' to the Great Ted McCarty who was behind guitars like the Les Paul and 335 and have a 'thicker' back than the more 'modern' Custom 24 and its 22 fret version.

 

[Bogner]

I must admit, with all the different iterations, I really don't know what makes a McCarty a McCarty other than the name. I have my McRosie, which says it's a McCarty, but also a Hollowbody Spruce, which seems like it might be a McCarty HB, or is it a Spruce topped HB I?

I have the brother to the top pic. Lovely guitar!

I’ve never forgiven the dealer for cutting two holes into this top

Frostbite doesn’t look nearly as good on fingers or ears. Trust me.

Anybody changed tuners to the Vintage lockers?
I know some choose to go Phase III but I thought I'd keep the original look.
Shall do this tonight...

Yes, I made the switch to vintage locking on my 2021 SC594. It was totally worth it and I like the look. Easy swap. Enjoy!

Cheers mate. Just about to tackle it.

 

[dmatthews]

Done and done.
As @xxxadixxx says it's an easy peasy drop in...

Fortunately my 2016 came with the phase III tuners already in it. If it hadn't, I would have put these in it with no questions asked.

My 2021 594 10-top.

No real backstory here. I've always wanted a PRS and had the good fortune to be able to procure one from Moore Music in Evansville back in November of '21. It plays beautifully and sounds glorious. I'm very lucky to be able to own it.

Affirmative. One the Joe Walsh Limited, and the HBII 594. I did Phase III on a previous CAB/nitro 594, but didn't care for the impressions left by the vintage tuners on the back of the headstock.
