I just acquired a 01 McCarty 10 top with birds. Players guitar for sure, chips, dings, scratches, fret wear. Clearly a gigged guitar. I knew that from the ad, I was shipped the guitar so I couldn't play it first. I noticed the inlays have a brownish film from playing. I also noticed the birds 3d - 12th frets all have some kind of chipping, as in I can run my finger nail across the inlays and either the clear coat to protect the inlays is flaking/chipping or its the actual inlay flaking/chipping. Is this normal? Its been a while since I've had a older PRS. I don't remember having inlays with this issue. I got it for 1300 shipped. I thought it was a fair deal until I got hands on and saw the inlays. Now I'm not so sure.
