PRS McCarty & Gibson R9 LP STD

[Bogner]

Both the original McCarty and the McCarty 594 are great guitars; I've probably had 8 or 9 originals, and 3 or 4 594s. They're simply different flavors, with more similarities than differences.

Ted McCarty and the company under his direction came up with the stuff that lots of PRS guitars are based on, including the mahogany/maple sandwich, the humbucker, the two-piece Tune-O-Matic, the original single-piece stop tail, the four control layout, the scale length of the 594, etc., etc.

Ted was one of Paul's mentors, and it shows. His influences are important to both the original McCarty and the 594.

Paul's acknowledgment of that influence is a stand-up-guy thing. It is honorable and correct to honor one's mentor that way!

As for the two models, regardless of what someone on the outside thinks, PRS gets to name their guitars whatever the f#ck they want to. So there's that.

Gee Les, I Had No Idea. Thanks For The History Lesson. In That Case, Maybe PRS Should Really Honor The McCarty Name And Go All In And Change The PRS Name To Simply McCarty For The Ultimate In Honor And Tribute. And If I May Use Your Eloquent Language...Sure PRS Can Name Their Guitars Whatever The F#ck They Want To And Guess What, I Can Also Feel How I Feel About It And I Can Say Whatever The F#ck I Want To About It...With Or Without Your Permission...So There's That.

Now With All That Said, Are You And I Going To Play Nice Going Forward Or ???

Hey you expressed yourself, and I expressed myself.

Nothing wrong with simply pointing out the reasons why I disagree with you. Friends can disagree without rancor. And I consider us friends; hope you do, too.

Of Course We Are Friends...I Simply Felt The F#ck Angle Was Beneath You And Uncalled For. Aside From That, All Good.

Let's not assume that there's much that's beneath me!
