    513s

    Nice video - lovely tone on that. I went through a phase where the 513 was my favourite guitar, so I certainly have an appreciation for them. I think that they are not very popular for 3 reasons: 1) People seem to think they are too complicated - they aren't, it's just a Strat with a...

    Private Stock Angelus

    Don't tell me that - they have reduced the price on that guitar substantially now! My wife has recently had her car stolen, so I need to put this guitar out of my mind.

    Private Stock Angelus

    Yes, they are good. Tim, the owner, is a really nice guy.

    Private Stock Angelus

    Thanks Mike, that really helps a lot!! :rolleyes: I'll be back up in the area of the store I mentioned next week and will probably have to pop in and have another look. Only trouble is, we all know where that's likely to lead! I spoke to the guy who owns the store and he said that they had sold...

    Which pickups for SC594??

    Good taste! The 594 with stock pickups is the best guitar I've ever played for Thin Lizzy.

    The Official "Singlecut 594" Love Thread!!

    That is what I would expect, but sometimes you don't get exactly what you expect. My preference is mahogany for Les Paul type and maple for Strat type, but I was curious about this one. I have two 594's, one with a Brazilian neck. I didn't expect to like the Brazilian neck as much as I do based...

    Interesting. I wondered how these would sound - what would you say the impact of the maple neck has compared to the more conventional mahogany?

    Private Stock Angelus

    Thanks. Maybe flash is the wrong word. It is beautiful and I guess I don't associate that with acoustics where my expectation is for something relatively plain. Your other comments are not helping! :D

    N5D - Private Stock Semi-Hollow 594 Citrus Glow Smoked Burst!!

    Actually, I really like the back of that one - lovely wood, but what colour stain is it?

    Which pickups for SC594??

    I agree. Give the Stock pickups a chance because I think they can do all the things you listed.

    Private Stock Angelus

    Anyone have any experience or views on these? PRS are not known for acoustics and I'm not sure how well they've been going down - you certainly don't see many here in the U.K. I traded a couple of my guitars for a 594 recently and the store has a second hand Angelus in stock. I made the mistake...

    The Official "McCarty 594" Love Thread!!

    Thanks very much. The neck is awesome. I had ME-1's and 513 Br but this is something else. The whole neck is like a giant vibrator when you hit the strings! Over the years, I have had 11 Private Stock guitars and all have been great guitars, but these two are just a different league imo.

    The Official "McCarty 594" Love Thread!!

    Thanks! :D I just got lucky. I have sold a load of my guitars but really liked the 594, so I traded for the one in my avatar which is the Huffington Post one. This was commissioned for an interview with Paul. Paul himself chose the woods. That guitar is fantastic and I then had the opportunity...

    Thank you mate! I've got Dropbox which creates links, but I just get IMG and an icon when I try to embed them. That one has a solid Brazilian neck and it's fantastic.
