2004 McCarty

[gioforce76]

hey guys I found a all black McCarty , been looking for a black for a little while. Is 1500 a decent price for 2004 McCarty?

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Not bad but not great, IMO.

What would be a better price ?

Considering the 4 that are on Reverb right now are all north of $2k, that's a good price. Looking at what recent selling prices have been, it's right in the middle.

Lower than 1500...LOLOL sorry, guys. Blame the coffee...
But Condition is key with Black guitars...also, if it's a McStandard (all mahogany), its usually a couple hundred cheaper.
Is there White (maple ) binding around the top (meaning maple topped hog body)???

Yes it has the maple top

No birds unfortunately

I’d say no more $12-1300 for black and moons.... but that’s just me. In the long run a couple hundred bucks shouldn’t be a dealbreaker if it’s the color you love.

This is true

The one I posted was 1300, had been reduced from 1500. Here's another (red) one in my area for the same price: https://spokane.craigslist.org/msg/d/1996-prs-mccarty/6858790466.html

I actually think they are steal at this price.

I found a sc245 for the same price in tobacco sunburst with birds . I might buy that and forget about the McCarty . I already have McCarty with a full rosewood neck . I don’t have a sc yet so maybe that’s the way to go. Decisions decisions decisions

 

[madhermit]

If you already have a McRosie (I do too!), the 245 is a no brainer IMO. I would love a 245 like the one you described.

I bought an all black 2002 McCarty last June for $1,200.

I'd take that SC yesterday.

The 245 has this in the bridge stud
The told me it was a compression screw.

 

[gioforce76]

They told me this screw is a compression screw but I have never seen that in a bridge

I'd take that SC yesterday.

 

[Black Plaid]

That looks all kinds a janky

 

[bodia]

That's a no go, for me. That screw ain't right!

 

[alantig]

Normally, I never say no to an extra screw, but that's all kinds of wrong.
