It has happened again…
I wasn’t expecting to buy a new guitar but I saw this in reverb and I could negotiate a great deal. A 96 Goldtop McCarty
First impressions: Great condition for a 24 years old guitar. It resonates like crazy. Neck pickup is just amazing and the middle position is maybe the best middle position in all my guitars. I’m still in the honeymoon phase and comparing it to my 594, Paul’s and SC245, but I’m amazed with this
The only “negative” I can find is that it’s heavier compared with my other PRSi (8lb 4oz), but no big deal. It may be part of its charm…
One question just in case anyone knows. What type of frets had this guitar from factory? It seems that this frets are quite dressed (although I’m not sure if these are the kind of frets of the McCarty, therefore my question) and I’m thinking about regretting. What do you think??
It plays great but I can feel the frets are not quite my other guitars.
