    Re: Used PRS Core McCarty or new Kiesel CT6?

    The guitar is in great condition. The only thing wrong with it was a small ding on the neck, but that was it; nothing to fret over. The previous owner did not seem to play it much, so virtually no fretware too.

      Feel free to post more pics at all kinds of angles, too. That is about my dream PRS right there.

        Ask and you shall receive! Here you go.
        These pictures were taken later in the day compared to the earlier pictures, so the sun was lower. Some of these were also taken much lower to the ground, close to level with the guitar looking more up.

        This is the only ding I found on the entire guitar.

        Better view of the whole back, you can still see the ding, but you have to look somewhat closely for it.

          I hope it stays that color...sometimes blue dyes can suffer from 'dye fade' over 10+ years. PRS seems to hold up better than some of the other brands with a deep blue dye. Really looks wonderful.

            Thank you!

            I did not know that about blue dyes though and will keep that in mind in case it gets to the point where it needs to be refinished. Either way, that is a long time away, so I'm not too worried about it.

                  Wrong on the PRS Blue dye holding up well it's actually one of the worst to fade. Have seen older Whale Blue PRS guitars that came in the Pawn Shops and were nearly gray more like a faded denim finish so would try to limit UV exposure with that one by keeping it in the case when I could.
                  Have a Royal Blue 07 Custom 24 BTW so---.
                  This is mine.

                      My plan is to do exactly that. Plan is that, while it is a primary instrument along with my Strat, anytime I'm not playing, it goes in its case. However, I'm leaving the case out and easy to access instead of stuffing it in a corner where it isn't easy to access. I do that with my other guitars that I bring out if I need a specific sound that I can't do justice on with the other two main guitars, such as my Telecaster.
