Maurice Gentil « An excellent guitar »
Published on 11/28/14 at 23:55Made in the USA, my 1994 model time, before the move of the company to Stenvenville Maryland. Annapolis so a model, much like Gibson with Lalamazoo and Nashville. So a smaller company, except for PRS, employees remained (see drunk Tony Bacon). A US product with mahogany India. A set neck that transmits vibrations better than a bolt-on neck. A patented bridge house by PRS itself. The base remains a Les Paul with a sharper cutting, an improvement for access to acute, microphones worked with McCarty himself, so a tribute to Gibson Les Paul. 22 frets on this model. Two buttons, one volume and one tone, sensitive enough. A well balanced guitar, fine enough, constructed from a mahogany body and a maple top.
UTILIZATION
Not too thick a handle, perhaps a bit more than my Gibson Deluxe. But it has the same feel. The vibrations resonate in the handle. We feel the sound go. The tuners are Kluson of imitations, like Gibson. Very simple to adjust, no tuning problems. Very good grip all over the neck. Access to acute facilitated by the cut that made the reputation of the brand. The bass sound is excellent, typical jazz, hot, big. Acute sound is excellent, typified 1980s Powerful enough as these McCarty pickups.
SOUNDS
Ideal for Jazz because the body is thinner than a half box, and I'm not talking about full cases. The agreements are easy to move, the notes sound good. The settings are sufficient, precise, with a little practice, you come to master the beast. The bridge allows the hand to rest without having some nasty scratches Stratocaster.
I mostly played with the neck pickup. I could do without the pickup smoothly.
OVERALL OPINION
More than a year, I like the old instrument, they had time to dry, to do, to improve. I love the look, shape, cuts. A beautiful guitar that you look. The price is justified by the production, instrument making, history. This model is no longer. For me McCarty model suits my style and my practice.
