I was saving and selling stuff for a couple of months to buy a custom shop flying V, but it sold just recently, however, I have ended up with a whack of cash.
I can think of worse problems than having cash earmarked to buy guitars with. (although I am sad I missed the Custom shop V)
I am unashamedly a Gibson kinda guy. My colour is cherry, or my shape is pointy. (or ideally both)
that being said I've beend doing some reading on PRS instruments, and I must say they are lovely, although I suspect that if they are not going to do it for me, it will be in the pickup department.
a shop near me has a 94 (first year!) McCarty up for sale at what appears to be a good price.
they also have a sweet cherry 339. It's cherry and a Gibby, and I don't have one. it is also on consignment at a very very reasonable price.
I like both.
anyone care to weigh in?
I know 339s seem to be well regarded by people, and I suspect that I'll like that easily enough. Anything I should look out for on a PRS instrument? Why is the nut so huge?
