Strapping in for some serious guitar porn

 

[MA Pete]

Preparing for more tedious string changes!...

 

[dmatthews]

Yeah, that's gonna be fun!

 

[dkilpatrick]

Damn!
Pete you have a lot of new things to contrast and compare.

 

[Bowtiefanatc]

Ooooooooh my!

 

[Bowtiefanatc]

Smells like Nitro!

And rich mahogany?

 

[MA Pete]

And rich mahogany?

Yes, of course!


For those wondering if it is a Singlecut or a Doublecut:

(As if there was ever any doubt!)

 

[Andrew Paul]

Hey now! Let’s see the rest!

 

[bodia]

Oh yeah, well I’ve got a three pick up proto I could bring over!

Sweet axe, Pete!

 

[MA Pete]

Hey now! Let’s see the rest!

Okay, I have made you wait long enough.

McCarty Sunburst! Killer vintage top.

It reminds me a TON of my several McCarty Sunburst SCs and DCs from the original Ted McCarty 245 run in 2009. In fact, this one has the yellow painted binding like the did on the Teds (and on Howard Leese's Golden Eagle Private Stock run), that they haven't done since. That is one of the reasons I just could not resist this one!

Plays and sounds great!

I got it from Chicago Music Exchange, went in there in person to check this out, along with a DC 594 Private Stock they had. This one of four guitars hand-selected by Paul send to the CME Team to check out the new 2020 guitars and the 5815 LT+ pickups. (They did a video with one of the other ones.) One of the guys there knew I was shopping for 594s, and reached out this morning and asked if I was interested in it, and talked about how great it was. My lucky day!

 

[bodia]

Pete, you’re f@wkin’ killing it!

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Pete, you’re f@wkin’ killing it!

truth!

 

[dmatthews]

Lucky?
No I'm lucky... You sir are blessed!

 

[Bowtiefanatc]

My oh my oh my!

 

[MA Pete]

Thanks, guys!

I think I need to chill out for a bit now and enjoy my 4 new acquisitions...
