McCarty vs. CU 22

The CU22 has a thinner body. It used to be that they also had different pickups. And of course, there's the trem. They're different enough for it to be worth having both,
Agree. While I have "modern generation" versions of both (2017 McCarty, 2019 CU22) they do sound completely different - probably mostly due to the pickups. McCarty has a wonderful vintage vibe (58/15 pups); the CU22 has a distinctly modern sound to it with the 85/15 pups.
