    McCartys... Let's see 'em!

    I’m new to PRS, so I don’t know if this is a McCarty, or a derivative. To the best of my knowledge it’s a S2 McCarty 594 thinline. It is my first and only PRS. I am a Gibson guy at heart, but wanted to get a PRS. Their reputation is hard to overlook. And being that I have lived in Maryland my...

    Strat Tones on a 594?

    That sounded real good! Was that a preset on the Spark? I would love to try it out if you will share.

    How's This For Irrelevant To This Site: College Football?

    I was a long time NFL fan, but stopped watching about three years ago. From my perspective, the league was becoming more concerned with politics than it was with football. So I was out. But I really did miss the game. Last year my son enrolled at Maryland so I started watching their football...

    I'm Sorry, But Pop Music Without Guitar Solos Sucks.

    My nephews band is a trio. Keys, bass, and drums. I like their music, but I keep telling them they need to add a guitar player! LOL.

    5 piece or 3 piece neck?

    That looks like one piece of wood to me.

    Help me pick which Core model as first PRS

    First make a list of the “must haves”. I recently just bought my first PRS and my list was only three. Made in Maryland, fixed bridge, and bird inlays. From there I went to neck profile. I am a Gibson guy at heart and I am most comfortable with a Gibson 60’s slim neck. So the only PRS neck...

    NGD - The Ugly Duckling

    I think it looks great! But wow, that’s a lot of fade in 4 years. Did they have it hung in a window that gets direct afternoon sun?

    Pattern Thin vs 60’s slim necks

    I am a Gibson guy who just bought his first PRS. Before I bought it though, I was having trouble finding much info on how the PRS necks compared to the Gibson necks. So if any other Gibson players find their way here to the forum looking for that comparison, here is what I found. I am most...

    Modifying a stop tailpiece.

    I personally have never installed a trem unit on a hard tail guitar, so I’m no help there. If I was in your shoes, I think I would look for another guitar to add to my collection. One more is always good right? LOL On a side note, I bought my first ever electric guitar at Chuck Levin’s back in...

    New S2 McCarty Day! Coming Soon! UPDATE: It’s Here!

    I have been playing this guitar for about an hour tonight. It’s awesome! I know I’m still in the honeymoon phase, but I don’t expect this to go away. This is probably up in my top three guitars for sure!

    New S2 McCarty Day! Coming Soon! UPDATE: It’s Here!

    Guitar showed up today. Packed real good and arrived unharmed. Truly a beautiful instrument. No time to mess with it right now, but I think it’s going to be a late night with my new toy!

    New S2 McCarty Day! Coming Soon! UPDATE: It’s Here!

    Thanks! I checked into the amber knobs, and wow!, PRS knobs are expensive! LOL. I think this one will get them regardless. On that topic, can anyone tell me if these knobs are different because it’s an S2 with the import pots? Or can I just go on Amazon and buy PRS amber lampshades?
