Will do!, thanks! It is out for delivery today, I am in southern RI, near the coast, so today is the big storm. I know the UPS route, and we are usually a 4:30 to 6pm delivery! I just hope he makes it! Then, I will wait till tomorrow morning to open the box! With 24 plus inches forecasted...

In speaking with the owner, he described this as a custom order, it has still been in the shop and was NOS by my my description, however the Nitro finish was put on this guitar as part of a custom order which included the 57/08's. Either way I am stoked, as it came down to three guitars, a...

thanks!...I am looking forward to Monday when it arrives!

this was a NOS, from GuitarRez in Austin...

UPS site says "In Transit" and On time. Monday will be NGD day for a McCarty with 57/08', it has a Nitro finish! Feeling a bit anxious! Anyone else know that feeling? Monday Update: It is out for delivery! Now the caveat, our home is in southern RI near the coast, and are expecting...

A great idea!...however, this is a done deal, I love to make my better half happy, so i must forge ahead!

(update) PRS advice needed.... I am relatively new here, and last month I received a PRS CU24 which I love, however it was quickly appropriated by my Better Half in life! I then ordered a PRS 408 as my replacement guitar. I received it Monday and demo'd it for 2 days before packing it up...

Thanks for the suggestions! I narrowed it down to the Mesa Recto Verb, Blues Deluxe & DRRI Yesterday morning I took advantage of Black Friday offers and ordered a '65 Reverb Deluxe Reissue. About 2 hours later, UPS delivered the CU24. I unpacked it, made sure all was good, and then plugged...

You bet it does! Thanks for the Amp suggestions. Mesa has quite a few models, any suggestions? Coming from an acoustic perspective, I really prefer a very clean sound.

Evening, This is my first post, so thought I would say hello to everyone. So, after playing several electric guitars, today I ordered a Custom 24, in Amber, and it should be here in a few days. I am a long time acoustic player, and this will be my first electric. I am excited for the new...
