2022 McCarty 10 Top Trampas Green.

Evening all, Just showing off my latest addition. I got this from Richtone music today and still shows on their site if you want to know the price, which was very good IMO. I have ideally been wanting one of the newer non-piezo HBII with phase III tuners and 58/15s but those seem to be very...

Hello All, I installed 57/08 pickups in my 05' PRS McCarty using the "McCarty Drop In Multi Conductor" kit from PRS accessories. Each pickup sounds great with the volume knob turned down and up to 10. However, when in the middle position and both pickups are being used, unless the guitar...

If I could have my dream PRS SE guitar, I would want it to look like a combination of my first two guitars. A Les Paul Aria Pro II and a Gibson ES-335 (both Vintage Sunburst). I prefer a single f-hole and really like fine tuners as well. Throw on a trapeze tailpiece and I’d be a happy camper...

I saw this article about Jay's McCarty that a student game him because "God said to do it" in a dream. He is a teacher and has had this instrument since 2003. It would be great to see it repaired and updated to 2024 specs. The store he took it to said they couldn't repair it. So he repurposed...

hello all, i saw this guitar online. could you please help me ascertain if its authentic or not? thank you

Hi everyone, first time poster. I have a 2005 McCarty Soapbar model, and was hoping for some clarification on the specs. From what I understand, PRS was doing an artist package and a 20th anniversary package in 2005. These included various specs...I believe the artist package had BRW, gold...

Hi All, I wrote a post fairly recently about wanting a modern McCarty. Then I saw a 2nd hand 2019 McCarty (picture above) pop up for sale here in the UK and thought why not since private stock funds were still a ways off. This is my 3rd core guitar (For context I have a CU22 stoptail and SC245...

The title is misleading since I did own an SE Hollow body baritone for a while a few years ago. So, I'm not completely new to the brand. However, after years of owning strats, teles, and Les Pauls, I finally decided to try PRS again. And, I fell in love! Seriously, head over heels! I absolutely...

It's funny to think about the fact that in 2021 I had no PRS guitars and had hardly ever played one. It's now 2023 and I have 3. After my 91/92 alder bodied CE and my 2017 Custom 24, I really wanted the "other" iconic PRS, aka the McCarty. I also wanted a PRS that I could downtune easily (aka...

Please only contribute if you have had a chance to play both. Trying to keep the thread clean. Thanks! I am currently considering getting a 594. I love the feel and overall warmer tone of shorter scale guitars but have struggled with how bassy/muddy the neck pickup can sound. For reference I...

Hey all, my first post! I'm thinking of buying the McCarty 594 Singlecut in the coming months. I had my heart set on the Dark Cherry Sunburst but it appears they've sold out and won't be making more :( so, my questions are: 1) When does PRS typically announce new stuff? Maybe January of...

I really like the asymmetric carve on the S2 series. It feels more comfortable to me than the CE, SE, or core lines with no digging in my arm when playing! I had an itch to get a 594 again and opted for a discounted S2 version over the core due to the carve (and sure i like saving $1600 over a...

So I absolutely abhor the idea of hauling the paisley case to every gig and practice; it’s a tank and the tolex too nice to beat up like that. What’s everyone hauling their 594’s in? I have a nylon PRS gig bag that came with my Vela, and I know the slightly more plush gig bags that the silver...

When you wake up in the middle of the night and see your low ball offer was accepted on the Verb. Got me a 2017 McCarty Burst Paul's Guitar coming in.

Hey guys, I’m new to the PRS world and have my first PRS, a ‘97 McCarty coming my way tomorrow. The only thing I would change about it is put locking tuners on it. Now my question for you ‘90s McCarty owners that have installed locking tuners, who’s had experience with Kluson locking tuners with...

... something like a cross between the McCarty Thinline and the Santana. Thin mahogany slab, probably McCarty 594 scale. (Though maybe 24.5 - is there enough difference in that less-than-a-tenth-of-an-inch to hear?) But in the Santana doublecut body which (don't tell anybody) owes a bit to the...

I have a small issue with my McCarty (stoptail). Years ago, I had replaced the original all-aluminum PRS bridge with the aluminum with brass touchpoints on each string. I was having issues breaking strings with the older bridge. The new bridge fixed the string breakage, but ever since then...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share an image of my 594 in good lighting. Please feel free to share you beloved vintage beasts. https://photos.app.goo.gl/D4h1UmgDRksERcsH7
