NGD McCarty and Hooked On 58/15

[Eilif]

Yesterday was NGD. A McCarty I'd ordered back in November finally arrived.

Played a little bit yesterday and a lot today -- more today than in the last two months maybe.

Beautiful guitar, plays like a dream. That's probably not news to most of you.

But these pickups...not quite vintage, not quite modern, don't know yet what to make of them except that they are so addicting! I hesitate to use the "wet blanket" analogy, but I don't know how else to describe it.

I gave up an SC245 with 57/08 for this, which I thought I would miss, but I don't. Not a bit. (And a great LP plugged into a Marshall is my favorite guitar sound.) This one's a keeper.

Kudos to PRS for coming up with these magic pickups!

Congrats...the 58/15s are indeed amazing and addictive. My 408s have gotten very jealous lately. There is something about the quality of the sound with these pickups that is like audible crack.

We would LOVE some pics btw...

The 85/15s are also astounding.

That is a really nice Black Gold Wrap!

Thanks! I agonized over the color choice but finally settled on this one. Love it!

Congrats on getting your new McCarty! I hope it gives you many years of enjoyment.
