PRS McCarty and Cu22

[Demioblue]

Can anyone tell me what's the dimensional differences between these 2? Do they have the same thickness for the mahog back?

[02Singlecut]

No....The McCarty is thicker both top and back. The headstock angle is also different.

The Mahogany body is an 1/8" thicker on the McCarty.

I see... So, (pardon my terminology) the McCarty is basically a Les Paul that's much easier to play in the upper frets?

Ah, not really. Perhaps it was intended to get that tone, in a general sense, but it is its own thing. Different.

Of course... I didn't mean to say that it was an LP clone. But the gist of the MC is more similar to that of an LP as compared to a Cu22 where the body is a lot thinner.

The headstock for the MC is more angled I presume?

Yep. Forces the strings to break over the nut a little more.
