    My first PRS (what would you choose)

    My first (and only) PRS is a Core McCarty (2010 model) with 57/08 pickups. I was actually looking for the best Les Paul I could find, and on advice of a few people I trust ordered this one sight unseen from Reverb (after talking quite a bit to the seller). The guitar is an absolute delight...

    Why the hatred?

    I’ve got two Tags, both excellent, though one of them (Calibre S) is a real PITA to set.

    My 2020 SC594 Has Arrived!

    Beautiful guitar. I'd be jealous, but I get to go home in a few hours and play my 2010 McCarty with 57/08s, so all is right with the world.

    McCarty 594, pickups and tone chasing; 5 pickups in 5 days

    Thanks for the detailed comparison, and for affirming my LOVE of the 57/08.

    NGD: My S2 replacement

    S2 594 Singlecut or thinline is likely my next guitar.

    Finally had some time with it (2010 McCarty Smokeburst)

    Yeah, a lot of horror stories about the glues in the late 70s (I think pretty all products from all companies tended to suck in the late 70s). I have no doubt PRS core acoustic would be amazing. I have a few Fenders and have tried many Gibsons, but my PRS is, by far, the easiest electric...

    Finally had some time with it (2010 McCarty Smokeburst)

    I went in not knowing anything about acoustics. Spent hours and hours at many shops playing everything that looked good. Ended up first with a Martin 000-15M (I LOVE the sound of all mahogany for playing and singing in a small room) and then added a D-28 (2017 reimagined) for when I really...

    Martin is just as addictive as PRS, by the way. Liquid metal bridge pins look sick on a D-28, fwiw.

    Finally had some time with it (2010 McCarty Smokeburst)

    Thanks. It's getting worse. I just ordered some Mannmade locking Klusen tuners and a new PRS nut.

    Wow, that black gold is gorgeous.

    Finally had some time with it (2010 McCarty Smokeburst)

    So far, so good. Six months into my guitar journey and I can play five of my very favorite songs (Let it Be, Paint it Black, Nights in White Satin, Time of the Season and House of the Rising Sun). I can even sing along with all of them except Paint it Black and Time of the Season (working on...

    Locking Tuners for 2010 McCarty

    Will do, thanks. I didn’t think it would be possible to get lockers AND keep that classic vintage Klusen style.
