Normally when I've got a time on my hands I manage to rotate equipment through for gigging. But lately I've been crazy busy with work and life and just haven't bothered planning things out.
I've got a ton of interesting guitars, including some of the coolest PRS guitars I could imagine. But since I haven't had time to think about it, I find myself grabbing my first (and definitely least "exotic") PRS for both gigs and practice. The McCarty 25th Narrowfield.
It says something I think that you gravitate towards one particular guitar when you're not consciously thinking about it. I think that the NF pickups in a McCarty body is great because it isn't a Gibson tone, it isn't a Fender tone...it isn't a Rick tone... It's its own unique PRS thing. All I know is that it sounds great with any amp, and feels perfect.
The thing I think I like best about it is that it really does have its own personality and brings out the best in any amp. On the one hand, I'm surprised that NF hasn't taken off more in a McCarty style body (or for that matter in a single cut). On the other, fine by me if it remains a secret.
In any case, it really does have a bipolar personality depending on how the controls are set and what amp is in use....
