That McCarty Singlecut is GORGEOUS. I'm familiar and imagining something like that but with 594 scale length. That would be the best "make me buy" guitar they could make for my wallet to suddenly jump out of my pockets with a mind of its own.

Yeah; the reason there are so many Les Paul comparisons to the McCarty is that they've always had a lot of similarities. Heck, even Ted McCarty's name alone would invite comparisons to the closest model from Gibson. Now, a Les Paul is a Les Paul and a PRS... ISNT. And that's a good thing for...

PAF-style is very nebulous. In general, it's an approximate recreation of a humbucker produced by gibson during the "golden era." Original PAF are like snowflakes and varied greatly from 1 pickup to the next in magnets, winding, output and even voicing! There was generally poor documentation on...

Well said, Les! I agree on almost all points. I do believe that putting some vintage correct PAF in a 594 would get one closer to a LP than an off the shelf version. The PRS pickups are fabulous. Especially the 58/15. That said, I do get the feeling they are deceptively higher in their MV...

Text confirms layout and low turn spec pickups

I think you can get used to any tried and true configuration. So I worked in a music store for a while and you end up playing and demoing so much gear that it kind of blends together. I don't think everyone should work at a music store and go get comfortable with 100 guitars but I think we can...

Dank dgt you got there Mr.

Yeah, I was hoping they would keep it as close to the Private Stock as possible with a somewhat limited and fixed feature run similar to the SC58, Modern Eagle or Paul's Guitar. Essentially artist grade woods and unusual trim at better than artist prices (SC58 & PG more than ME). I think if...

It appears the 24.594 scale is not exact golden era Gibson. I did some checking, here's a graphic from StewMac. The fraction form of .594 is 297/500 or essentially 3/5. According to this image from stew mac, 9/16 would be the goal scale. Interestingly, 9/16 measurement found on a 1959 Gibson is...

I'm actually really excited that 24.594 is the golden scale length! That's awesome! You're entitled to your opinion. Even if you seem to be asking for a flame war, which is kind of uncool. Whatevs. I'm hyped for this thing!

Oh please don't. I have a DGT and CST24. I'd totally buy this and I don't want to spend the money. ... please make it. EDIT: Crap. I just had it confirmed by a dealer that a prototype of the production run is on tour with Paul himself. Paul is apparently out showing the thing off and it's...

Negative, Paul explains the 8515 and 5815 as an extension of the 5xxx journey. They're basically the same overall design in the sense that a CST24, CST22 and McCarty-Trem share the same DNA. The devil is in the details. The new pups are a wire formula very similar to the old stuff but with...

I'm open to trading my covered 5708 set for a 5815 set! Get at me!

Man some of the business talk on guitar forums gets really weird and wacky.
