I have added a Hollow body ii custom to my small PRS collection and, while it plays almost as nicely as my 2 core models I am finding the PUPs to be a bit too dark sounding for rock chord work. Has anyone updated the PUPs on a SE Hollow body 11 custom?

Its nice but nothing compares to the McCarty 10 top in the second pic!........my pride and joy.

20200725_202311 (1)[/url] by evan north, on Flickr[/IMG] After getting hold of a pair of 2007 PRS guitars (a custom 22 and a McCarty 10 top) I had a yearning for a hollow body electric on a limited budget. I tried a number of them at a local music store and ended up buying a PRS SE Hollowbody ii...

Is that for all years of McCarty production or just the earlier pre 2005 thicker body models?

Yes.I have had a look at the Gotoh SD90 set and they look great but there is no guarantee that they will be a drop in replacement and may require a little modification to my guitar which I am wary of. Shame really as they are less than half the price of the Mann version.

Nice, but as I live in the UK the turnaround would be too long. I will keep an eye on things and, when the chrome fish tuners are in stock will likely order them. With sales tax and import costs they will be pretty expensive but, as it is a one off expense I think it will be worth it.

Thanks. I have just had a look at his website and they are exactly what I am looking for apart from the chrome version being out of stock ATM.

I have a very nice mccarty 10 top, 2007 model and am looking to replace the vintage style tuners with a set of locking tuners but do not want to do any drilling to make them fit. Are any of the PRS locking tuners direct replacements for the vintage items?

There are plenty of cores on the used market for the price of a s2. Many in excellent condition too. I should know as I have bagged 2 of them this year.

I have a 2007 McCarty and was wondering if it could be wired for , both pickups on=out of phase (gary moore/peter green), and a push -pull on the volume to bypass the circuit? The guitar has McCarty pickups, 3 way toggle and push pull on the tone pot for coil tap. Or maybe I could do without...

Well, I have been having a quick blast on the Mc C every night this week and does this thing sing! I thought that my recently bought custom 22 was wonderful but the McCarty just that bit ahead of it. I havent felt this inspired since I bought my first Gibson 22 years ago..

I once has an ESP LTD with EMGs in it and did not like the sound of it when using overdrive. I bought a set of the Retroactive FAT 55s also from EMG. ( A straight swap with no soldering which took about 15 mins to complete). The FAT 55s sounded like a vintage PAF totally changing things for the...
