As stated in my intro thread, I finally bought my first PRS! I was searching for a McCarty with birds and found something on Reverb. Despite it being listed a bit oddly, I had a good feeling about it. Normally, I would play before buying but I took a chance and am glad that I did.
It’s an ‘04 McCarty and all I know is that I love it and my fingers are raw from playing so much over the last week.
I’m surprised at how bright the pickups are after hearing how dark McCarty pups are over the years. It’s been quite a few years since I’ve played an early 00’s McCarty so I have no reference but this is one of my only guitars that I actually find the tone knob useful on. I can roll off a bit of high end and it doesn’t take away from the attack or feel. I busted out my multimeter and they came in right around 8k which would be right on if stock. I may pull them during the next string change to verify.
anyway, here it is
