NGD: Double No-Whammy

[Johnny Rigs]

I have “enough” trem models for now, and have been looking for some fixed bridge goodness for some more alternative tuning flexibility. With some trades and moving a bit of gear, I was able to secure two nice examples.

Exhibit A:
2018 McCarty 594 - Goldtop

 

[Johnny Rigs]

Exhibit B:
2016 McCarty Artist Package - Trampas Green

This AP was spec’d with a Gaboon Ebony fretboard and headstock veneer, green abalone bird inlays and headstock signature, and hybrid hardware.

Bangin’!(s)

Stellar examples, too. Congrats!

I should add that these 58/15 LT pickups are the first PRS pickups that have really put a smile on my face. Finally, balanced the way I like tone-wise and from bridge to neck position.

Both are beautiful. Congrats!

Nice pair! Congrats!


Sweet tops!

Goldtops rule! Killer double score!

 

[Johnny Rigs]

You know, I just checked. The headstock serial # says it’s a 2015, but the build date listed on the case and hang tag is 2016. And according to the Wayback Machine, the McCarty was re-introduced as part of the 2016 model lineup. So I guess I have a 2016.

Holy crap! You could have stopped at the first one and I would have been totally impressed. But the AP McCarty, too??!! Flippin’ fantastic!!

 

[WA Paul]

That’s some fine trading and acquisition skills on display there, congrats!

Great stuff, you have stellar taste.

 

[Warmart]

Congratulations, and sheesh I wouldn't know what to do if I had two like that new at the same time! Stuck trying to figure out which to play, no doubt!
