Hey all.
I have not been on this forum for YEARS.
I hope you all have been doing well.
Been without PRS guitars for about 5 or 6 years now.
However, I have just inherited a 2004 McCarty Rosewood.
A dear, dear friend of mine passed a few years back.
He was the one that named my company.
He was the one that egged and cheered me on to success.
John Dean was his name.
We were together when he bought this guitar used in CALI.
He brought his wife home from the hospital one day, we hopped
in his SUV and drove 2 hours to get it.
Wifey was furious he did not stay home with her. LOL
Her and I laugh about it these days.
His widow has left his guitar room alone since he was gone.
I got a message from her that "Rosie" is on it's way to Nashville.
She is ready to release some of the past and wants me to have the guitar.
I don't have any pictures yet.
Should have some tomorrow.
This is the nicest PRS guitar I have ever shared the stage with.
He would bring it to my shows once in a while so he could hear me play it.
I was knocked out every time I played this guitar.
I am very honored to be the caretaker of this instrument now.
No mods will be done on it at all.
I remember it being perfect as it was and I am sure it still is.
I will post a bit more soon....
