There are a few others I never took pics of and sold.

Lovely selection!My most recent.
The gold one sounded unbelievable. Still have seller's remorse after 10 years.
My first Ted McCarty
Had this one since 2005. It's a '97
Looked cool, didn't like how it sounded.
Missing the Vintage Yellow I bought a year ago. I'll take a pic and edit later.

Sadly no. But I have a king sized bed and lots of quilts. It’s not weird at all to get under the covers with your guitar right?Isn't your oven big enough?
I forgot about the paint. Call me crazy but I prefer the finish in the 2010’s prior to nitro change in 2020. The new nitro is super soft. Swirls super easy. Easy to dent and scratch. For a guy that doesn’t like guitars to relic it was an interesting choice to change the paint. For tone purposes I suppose. And some here will swear by the finish making a difference. I personally would say they sounded amazing prior. I don’t recall anybody saying this guitar is great but a nitro finish would make it amazing. I’d rather have something that will last longer.I don't know what drives the decisions to use 'Bone' and 'Vintage Tuners' on these guitars - it could be the 'market' that pushes companies to go 'back' to Bone, back to standard tuners, back to 'Nitro' finishes. Tradition can override something that may be 'technically' superior alternative in the eyes of the buying market and are sceptical of any 'claims' of modern materials, modern technology etc.
Microwave or air fryer are faster.Isn't your oven big enough?
Classic killers!Just posted this pair in another thread… but here they are side by side:
For my playing, using a lot of palm mutes and gain, the two do not show much difference. It is minor enough I had to look back at the pictures to see which guitar had which saddle. Tuners were a bigger issue... Which is why I purchased PRS locking vintage tuners for the SC594 two weeks after I got it.Because you have both... any thoughts on the different saddle types? I'm liking the triangular shape, although they seem to be less common.
Phenomenal guitar both ways! Wow.My 2017 - love everything about it! Had cream rings and switch tip (shown in bottom pic) but recently switched to black. The black plastics "modernized" the look of the guitar, whereas the cream plastics more of a classic look. I like both versions
I agree. Some have commented that they didn’t like the block birds. I think they’re cool. However, there was a problem, and the PS team didn’t want to replace them. And while I like the blocks, I do like the replacement better (but just my opinion).
It's great both ways, but I agree, the replacement is incredible looking.I agree. Some have commented that they didn’t like the block birds. I think they’re cool.

I'm not sure it's possible to post those beauties too many times.I've already posted my two way too many times recently... so, the natural thing to do is push through, keep on spamming until any hint of guilt is gone.
Thank you Les, I appreciate that!Phenomenal guitar both ways! Wow.
I'll echo the thoughts for phase III.
Look at how much time and effort was put into them after the phase II.
Then they were tweaked for slightly better performance.
Why go through all that effort and not use them? Weight? Cost?
Is the vintage tuner better? I don't think so.

Dude, that’s his dog you’re talking about.
For that you need a smoker.True, but we're trying to seal in the flavor.
I believe Danville Music has this exact guitar listed for sale right now.
