I had a '57 Historic Goldtop that was my number one for many years. When I got my 594 DC I didn't touch the Gibson. I kept it awhile just to be certain and finally broke down and sold it with the market being what it is. So to answer your question, my McCarty killed my LP.

Man, I LOVE the winged tuners.

My #1:

I have the Straight Up and No Quarter. I love them.

I can't believe it's already been a year since I started an NGD post with this McCarty 594. Playing it today I was once again struck by how absolutely perfect it is, from the 10-top, awesome faded whale blue finish, neck carve, and those freaking TCI pickups!! The range of tones with slight...

Absolutely beautiful! You'll love it. I've had one since Nov '19 and it never ceases to make me smile when I play it.

I saw him in a small bar in ATL a couple years ago. He did a few Tull tunes (obviously) and some great blues tunes. He can also SHRED! I had never heard him play like that. I believe that night he played one guitar, a Custom 24, through a Soldano combo. His entire band was good and he had a...
