Let's see the family photos!

[Tonart]

How about just the absolute family favorites. I’m going to describe each guitar to give them their proper dues. In no particular order:

McCarty 594 Singlecut Semi Hollow. Just an excellent all rounder in tone, looks and rarity.

Custom 24 Stoptail. Inspired by the Paul’s 28 guitars. Pernambuco neck, Celtic Knot inlays, Paul’s 28 pickups, and Paul sportingly gracing his name to call it “Paul’s 24”. Tone monster. What’s not to like?

McCarty Trem. I’ve never seen wood convey artistic or human meaning like this. It’s like the tree decided to do a Rembrandt or Dante. Just on account of that. No finesse here.

McCarty 408 from the Collection Series. The tone champ, the One. This guitar makes strings vibrate in a magic way. What you can’t explain, you conveniently call magic. It started my love affair with the Pernambuco neck.

McCarty Semi Hollow from the Collection Series. Poster girl of its run, takes my breath away holding it. Pernambuco neck.

Paul’s Guitar. Except it really was Paul’s personal prototype guitar. Tone monster, absolute rocker. Pernambuco neck.

Paul’s Guitar. Another of Paul’s former personal prototypes with woods personally picked by Paul. Is it a coincidence that it has crazy good tone?Chaltecoco neck.

Santana. Pernambuco neck, “Paul’s extraordinary quilt” top, tone that is so sweet and elegant. How can it not be a favourite?

McCarty 408. Probably one of only two PRS ever made with a solid African Blackwood neck, cos the tree rarely produces timber in a large enough size. Another one with crazy good tone.

The rest of the family are all cherished, all beloved. including these two latest beautiful bundles of pure joy.

My PRS SE collection

L-R: 2018 SE Custom 24 limited edition. 2022 SE Paul's Guitar. 2022 SE Hollowbody II Piezo. 2022 SE Silver Sky.

The Paul's guitar is the latest addition, bought second hand but it's in mint condition and the previous owner changed the tuners to some Gotoh locking ones!

A few changes since my last "family" picture and keeping it only in the PRS family, with the G-cousins giving side eye from across the room. The newest addition is on the left, 2019 DC594 Artist Package. I think the 594 series works for me

Aw yeah!
594 works for me too!

Wow. I am browsing through this thread for the first time. You guys have a lot of 'kids' in your families. I've got one lonely guitar. Makes me want to have another to keep it company.

Yeah, but have you got anything nice?

Give an old guy a break. That’s the nicest wood I can conjure these days.

The charcoal clique in the family. They’re perpetually in a dark mood and don’t mingle.

How Do You Like That McLaughlin?

How Do You Like That McLaughlin?

I love it. Hefty guitar that feels solid like a rock. Pickups sound really good.

Will It Chug?

 

[Tonart]

Will It Chug?

LOL I’m sure it will!

 

[Bogner]

LOL I’m sure it will!

I Really Like The Guitar But My Concern Is If Those Pickups Can Genuinely Handle Thrash And Death Metal. I Know The Guitar Would Work For Me On The Other Stuff I Play But That Is Only About 10% Or So Of What I Do. Any Non Traditional Shaped Pickup In A Guitar Scares Me Because There Are No Options. I Hate Mini Toggles But For This GuitarI Would Try To Overlook Them Just Because It Is So Cool.

Good points! Yeah although I find the PG pickups quite hot, it’s quite risky to buy unseen if you’ve already got a specific sound in mind. Best try it out first or something similar.
