Question about 20th custom 24 color?

[6nature]

Hi, I just got this Prs 20th and I have a question.

I really want to know the color name for this one.

Is it McCarthy sunburst ??

There's a modcat number in the pickup cavity, may still be on the case, and often somewhere in the paperwork. Put that number in a modcat decoder, and it'll tell you for sure.

Nice score by the way!

I had one that exact color. It's not McCarty burst.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what it's called any more, but might have been an almond burst. McCarty Burst is more yellow in color, and the center is usually more teardrop in shape.

Tobacco Sunburst?

Looks kinda like Boyd Burst to me....

 

[Max Headroom]

Whatever it's called it's bloody sweet as a ...well a very sweet thing.

I also think it’s this.
The burst follows the contour.

That's what I was thinking, too.

Welcome and congratulations on a gorgeous guitar.

Tobacco Sunburst?

Maybe. Doesn't seem dark enough but maybe...

PRS doesn't do a "Honey Burst" or a "Whiskey Burst"...right?

My '95 CE22, the one in front, is Tobacco.

This is the original McCarty Burst; I bought it when the model came out in 1999 or 2000:

This is my current McCarty Singlecut PS in what was called Faded McCarty Burst. Both guitars have a more yellow base stain under the burst. Of course, a Tobacco Burst is different anyway.

It doesn't look like the McCarty burst. My SAS is a McCarty burst and it looks different. It is definitely more yellow or gold in the middle. My Ted is a faded McCarty burst and it doesn't look like that either.

They did a finish back then that was called Autumn Burst. The one pictured looks similar to that. However, I am remembering the Autumn Burst as being more red in the outer edges.

That is also a 20th anniversary artist pack guitar. It could be a custom color. They did a bit of that back then too. I would email PRS with the serial number and ask them.

IF, the decoder is correct. I have never seen a McCarty Tobacco Burst look like that.

Who Knows? The Picture Could A Bit Skewed Color Wise? The Guitar Could Have Faded A Bit? Both? Neither? The Fact It Isn't A Tear Drop Definitely Changes Perception (At Least It Does To Me). I Had A 20th McCarty Guitar That Was McCarty Tobacco Burst That Was Lighter Looking Color Wise To Me Then Others I Had Seen Prior And Since. Mine Was Very Plain Jane Top Wise (Think 58 Les Paul Very Plain Top) So Maybe That Was It? Who Knows..It Could Have Been Blue Or Northern Lights And Faded To That. (Kidding)

My SAS is McCarty burst and is a contour burst. My Ted is a faded McCarty burst. Both guitars are very yellow in the center. This guitar is almost natural in the center. I definitely remember the Autumn Burst being very natural wood looking like that in the middle. However, I am pretty sure it was much more red in the burst around the contour of the body. I would get the definitive word from PRS. If it is a McCarty Burst, it was done differently than all others I have seen in that finish.

That is a cool looking guitar. Congratations on your acquisition!

I Guess I Am Mainly Looking At The Darker Color. It Is Almost Like Livingston Lemondrop And McCarty Tobacco Burst Had A Kid.
