Hello All, my first post here.
This is my 99 McRosie which I bought new in 1999 from Machinehead Music in the U.K.
It’s been in constant use for 25 years and has acquired quite a few chips and scratches which to be honest doesn’t bother me at all, and the finish has reacted with various guitar stands over the years, which I always find odd as I think thought these were poly.
When I bought the guitar new, P90’s were not really that popular, and an all mahogany non maple top PRS was quite rare. I was told these were a special run or a duplicate order for an artist, but not sure how accurate this is.
As a working guitar it’s never quite had the sound that made it versatile or easy to use, but it’s made me change my playing which has been great and made me think differently. As with my other PRS it’s been 100% reliable, stable and solid.
Last year it was treated to a new set of Fralins and a new writing loom and I think that’s made a difference, but not a huge one.
I often think about getting it refinished, but then think what’s the point.
If anyone here has any information about these guitars that would be very interesting.
