    New McCarty Issues

    Yeah, about 3 weeks. I bought it from Eddie's guitars. They gave me the option to return it when I thought the only issue was the volume pot, but now too long has passed. There is an 18 month backlog at PRS for guitars and it was hard to find the model and color I wanted. Rather than have it...

    New McCarty Issues

    I’ll try to post some pics tomorrow. I think you are right and the post hole in the body is not set straight, the treble side is subtly tilted and that is the side giving me issues. The other side doesn’t lock up at all. You’d think if it was tolerances they’d both jam up at some point. I...

    New McCarty Issues

    Yes I was actually changing the strings and the bridge wouldn’t come off. That’s when I discovered that the posts had to be completely level to even remove it. It honestly looks like the bass side will do what those posts are supposed to do and kind of tilt slightly as you raise/ lower it, but...

    ok so the new volume pot finally arrived and I swapped it out no problem. Guitar sounds amazing. With that problem solved I now am moving on to solving my bridge issue. Does the bridge need to be lowered and raised uniformly on guitars with a stop tail? I have a PRS se model with one, and I...

    Let's see those McCarty's (All variants)

    So this comment made me feel a lot better about the purchase of my first McCarty. I have several LP's by both gibson and epiphone, they are all so heavy I don't like taking them off the wall if I'm not doing something like recording with them. I also have a lone 2006(ish) PRS SE Singlecut which...

    2021 - McCarty Models change tuners again?

    Im a new (21') Standard McCarty owner. Hoping I didn't make a mistake not getting the 594, but I have a few LP's on the wall with that same classic tone so hoping I'm not missing out on too much. I was really stressing about not getting the adjustable bridge or the locking tuners with my 21...
