    Which pickup position do you gravitate to?

    Bridge 90% of the time, with Neck (volume rolled back) only used for "cleans". Rather than swapping amps or channels, I change pick-ups.

    Early 2000's McCarty vs CU22 for high-gain sounds?

    I appreciate the great answers. Looks like the CU22 is the best bet. Type to get shopping!

    Early 2000's McCarty vs CU22 for high-gain sounds?

    My GAS is acting up and I have my heart set on a "vintage" PRS to add to my collection. The CU22 originally got me interested in PRS back in the late 90's/early 2000's and I think it is time to pull the trigger. My collection currently includes (3) 594's, (1) Tremonti, (3) G-LP Customs, with...

    NGD: 2004 Scarlett Red Custom 24

    Awesome guitar and cool plan. A 62 sounds massive. I run 11-52 for both D standard and Drop C on Tremonti and 594’. The 52 is a bit sloppy on the 594 but holds up well on the Tremonti. Sounds like you like a lote more tension. I am interested in seeing the final results. Congrats 🍾 on the...

    Beautiful! When did you order, or better yet how long did it take in total? I have a build going (also through Brian’s) and I am getting impatient 🙄

    Tremonti- trem vs stoptail

    @WEDGE great questions. I started with a trem Tremonti before adding two stop tails. I am now down to a single stop tail while my PS (another stop tail Tremonti) is in the oven. The short version from me, is that the stop tail is an amazing guitar. I am not a fan of trems nor do I need one...

    Will PRS ever do another P-90 Core guitar...?

    I started down the path of a LP Goldtop with P-90’s in early 2022. Then I discovered the limited 2018 run of Soapy 594’s. I jumped on a NOS SC594 soapy (McCarty burst) and it has been the guitar I grab if I just need to play for a few minutes and it gets regular play time when I have more...

    Dealers please read and chime in. Private Stock question.

    I was in a similar situation late last year. @Brian G hooked me up. We worked through the initial design in Sept and I had the opportunity to join the Brian's Guitar team for a vault trip in December. It was a fantastic experience, both the visit to the factory and the hands-on advice from...

    Refinishing my McCarty, need help choosing a color.

    While I love charcoal, it seems like there is an easier solution. You said you wanted an opaque finish…. That screams gold top to me😀

    NGD!! McSoapy, Clean and Natural

    Awesome guitar! The top seems to have very different character with different angles and light. Very cool. Congrats.

    NGD: McCarty 594 Singlecut

    Congrats on the new addition. The SC594 is a fantastic instrument. It is usually the first instrument I grab because it just feels/plays great. That tobacco burst is amazing. Enjoy!

    Custom Private Stock Cost Estimation Methodology?

    The price is likely more about labor than material. The materials up charges I had were not terrible. Throw in an intricate fingerboard inlay and that had a real impact. Some materials are going to be much higher, but standard woods are not going to blow up the price. They were very well...
