New Guy

[Pancreas]

Hey Group,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I am new to the world of PRS, but have been a Gibson player for 30 years. Mainly the Les Paul. When I saw an ad for certain PRS SE models on sale for $759, I jumped on a new McCarty 594 Double-Cut. (Charcoal)
It has really opened my eyes as to what the import builders are capable of these days. It's an excellent instrument.
And I see it as being the first of several new PRS purchases.
Unfortunately, this forum won't allow me to post any pics here yet.
Anyway, hello and thanks for having me.

Welcome aboard! The SE McCarty is a fine instrument and a perfect way to start your PRS journey.

Welcome aboard , Ted McCarty ( head honcho at Gibby during the heyday) was Paul's mentor , He's taken everything a step further ..
I love my Gibby's ( have 3 CS's ) but the PRS's play better.

Hey Group,
I just wanted to introduce myself.

Finally, someone on the forum to manage my sugar levels.



Sorry - but your username just begged for that joke.

Anyway, yes, welcome aboard! PRS guitars/instruments ("PRSi") are, IMHO, excellent quality for the relative cost, and those SE McCarty models are a great place to start!

Nice score! Images need to be hosted by a third party. A lot of us use Imgur. I think there are other options as well. It’s pretty archaic, but that’s just the way it is here. Somewhere here is a post on how to do it. I can never find it when I want it… anyway, welcome!

Edit: here’s one post on posting pics. There’s another newer one I’ll post if I can find it.

how to post pics?

see above!

Welcome and congrats!

Yes, PRS are very addictive, tough to say no! But easy to say bye to your 401k...

Welcome Pancreas!
Hopefully you’ll be better than the underachiever that mine Is.

I just received the same axe, SE 594 Charcoal. It's easily the best SE except for the Mira.

Congrats and welcome!! What do you have your eye on for the next axe? SE SAS for me (Charcoal).

I started a year ago and now have a stable of 4 LP'ish PRSi, all great, to go with my Gibson LP.

Welcome and great PRS choice to get those pancreatic juices flowing!

If you post “I love Julie Bowen “ 10 posts in a row, you will magically be able to post pictures from them on.
