My 'new' McCarty arrived today - Pics

[Molly]

Hi.

My '97 McCarty arrived today. Spent the evening cleaning and restringing. Love the colour. Heavier than my Custom 22. Bit thicker I think. Thoughtd I'd share some pics and maybe get some feedback (like, what does FWF mean under the bridge pickup?).

Beautiful!

I think it might be 22 Fret Wide Fat, don't quote me just guessing.

That looks like the twin sister to my McCarty! Mine has W/fat eck and I love it. Enjoy!!!!

Congrats! Nice looking McCarty. It is indeed a bit thicker and heavier! Enjoy the rich tones!

Nice! That's one heck of a week you've had. Those two are basically all you need, you can do it all and never need another guitar IMHO.

Can I quote you if you're correct? roud:

Don't tell the wife that...

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.

They say those early "round corner" McCarty pickups the first few years were really made by Lindy Fralin. That's what "they" say, I'm just repeating the rumor. Lindy is known to have made pickups for PRS in the 90s, like the dominoes on the EGs, for example, so it's not so far fetched.
