Published on 12/19/10 at 07:50Manufacturing USA, Wide Fat neck, much less big as my 57 and 58 Gibs laughed. Hooping perfect, no complaints about the finish is zero defects. Mine is a 10 top, Color Vintage Sunburst. The tuners are Schallers. The guitar is very well balanced, as heavy as my LP on the scale. I just changed (as always) the attachments for belt Straplok DUNLOP. Hyper
UTILIZATION
easy to play, although I appreciate more and more thick handles like my 58ri. Volume (which has just let go first time in 20 years of guitar, soon replaced), a tone, a split that refines and sharpens the sound (musically) more than it gives single coil sound. It's super versatile (not non-volatile is NOT a synonym), easy to play ...
SOUNDS
I used to try lots of pickups on my guitars: Duncan, Gibson, Rio Grande, EMG, etc. Bare Knuckle ... On it, I returned to the original pickups that fit him like a glove. Where my PRS Singlecut is "neutral" when I changed pickups, the McCarty still medium / medium low, with a bit dull treble, and bass round, regardless of the microphones sometimes taped. These McCarty pickups are very dynamic and warm, it's very nice.
After, he must return for a dedznt draw something, it makes me think of the U.S. Hamer, and I understand that many guitarists are the PRS a bit bland, where Les Paul has a strong personality, even if the guitarist shy ....
Once you have it in hand, and those of a good scratch is a treat, it sounds, the sounds are full and fleshy, and can attack all the styles in a good amp. I try it again, which I'm sure its the mids are going to get straight into the mix. I will return.
OVERALL OPINION
Beautiful guitar, rather vintage, dynamic and versatile. She has no bad side and Rn'R of Les Paul, it's more an aristocrat who runs wild.
I've had a few weeks, it is a pro instrument. A great guitar that I will not compare to an LP: this is not the same hit, nor the same style of guitar. A beautiful LP always fascinate me more than any other dug-out, but McCarty has a personality to it. If you play it and hope it rings twice and Les Paul Stratocaster single, you'll be disappointed! This is neither the one nor the other is a PRS (another standard?). And what she is beautiful !!!!!!!
