Help ID'ing this guitar please

[Joe Lottino]

Hi there -

Came across this guitar and any help would be appreciated in identifying it. It is a deeper than usual hollowbody, I thought it might be a McCarty Hollowbody II, but I couldn't find one with a matching truss rod cover. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like an Archtop to me from those pics

Archtop I - carved maple top with carved mahogany back and sides, Archtop II - carved maple top and back with mahogany sides and rosewood headstock veneer. All models are 2 3/4" depth at rim, 4" depth at bridge, 22-fret wide-fat mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, PRS adjustable stoptail bridge, and McCarty Archtop pickups with 3-way toggle. Piezo bridge pickup option added in 1999.

Thanks, I'm thinking it's a 1998 McCarty Archtop. I found some similar ones, but they all had a truss rod cover that said "McCarty", and this one just has the bird. This one also has round fret markers, where the others I found online had the birds.

I have a friend with a similar one. No birds as well. The thick body is the key

1998 McCarty Archtop. First year of the model. Later known as Archtop Spruce.

Truss rod cover and strap buttons have been replaced, but other details look right.

At the time, moon inlays were standard on set neck guitars. Birds were an upcharge option.

That one has one of the lower serial numbers I've seen for the first year (1998).

Does it still have the hang-tag? I'd love to see it.
