Left, my McCarty with soapbars that I bought new (old stock) last week.
At right, my younger brother's McCarty singlecut with soapbars.

The attention to detail on my McCarty is just amazing. The finish, even on the fretboard binding and the clear "binding" around the body is aged and yellowed to look like an old classic guitar from the 50's.

The guitar had been hanging at my local GC for a few years, and I remember first seeing it and it stood out from among the other guitars hanging near it. After getting it home, I noticed PRS even shot the back of the guitar with a subtle darker burst around the outside, and a lighter red in the middle.
The neck profile is incredibly comfortable, but not quite like any other guitar I've played.
The guitar is noticeably lighter than my other instruments.
The soapbar pickups give me great gritty, smoky blues tones.
PRS once again hit the ball out of the park with this guitar.

And a rerun of the PRS party earlier this spring at my younger brother's place. He's a PRS enthusiast too.

Very nice. I got one of these last week from Dave's Guitar Shop at a guitar show. Awesome guitar.
 
Beautiful. Love that flame. P90s are evidence that mankind got guitar pickups right very early on. ;)
