Shootout McCartys - did they get any "special tweaks"?

[Twinfan]

Hey folks,

I've been reading up on the Shootout McCartys recently and they seem to be universally praised. I know there were a few runs:

* Original 6 for the 2010 Dallas Show (2x57/08s, 2x59/09s, 2xDGTs)
* 50 post-Dallas (57/08s)
* 10 for the UK distributor, Headline Music in 2010 (57/08s)
* 8 for Musicmesse 2010 (57/08s)

Were there any changes across the runs, or were the specs the same? Did they get any special "tweaks" from a regular McCarty e.g. nuts, electrics etc? I know they had a nitro finish, nice tops and a paisley case.

I think they were all non-PS built as well, and used non-PS woods?

Did you ever find out any more?

They were left in the Tone Infuser for an extra hour. Now it's part of the standard process but back then most guitars only got 30 minutes.

I can’t emphasize enough how important giving your guitar some extra time in the Tone Infuser is. Thank god I invested in buying one for the home.

It's a little off putting at first, but the improvement is SOO worth the skrill.

Just make sure you set it to the proper khz
