I've had GAS for a PRS ever since Alex Lifeson started using them. Decades later, the moons have aligned and after weeks of trying different models I settled on this:
The McCarty in terms of feel/sound is an amalgamation/middle-ground to all of my current guitars - LP, Strat and Acoustic (neck size). It is very easy to pick up after playing any of my other instruments. I love the tone of the 57/08 pickups. The only thing I found surprising is that they hum in hum-bucking mode (even worse when split). My LP is dead quiet and the Strat is tolerable pending on the direction I'm facing. Is the hum typical of 57/08 pickups?
Regardless, I love the McCarty and I look forward to learning from this community with the hopes of being able to offer something in return once I've gotten more familiar with the McCarty and PRS as a company.
Cheers!
