Re: Super Urgent Question!!!!!

If you like the guitar by all means get it, you may not get another deal like it.
 
Re: Super Urgent Question!!!!!

well the thing is too, after crunching some numbers, Id still be short 800bucksish . . . so theres a cash element here too,

Re: Super Urgent Question!!!!!

If you'd prefer having the McCarty over the other two guitars and the cash... do it.
 
Re: Super Urgent Question!!!!!

I don't really have a hting for PRS but do for strats, so I say keep your strat. But go try one out and see for yourself.
 
Re: Super Urgent Question!!!!!

Can you comfortably get rid of both these guitars plus cash in exchange for one? I had to sell 5 of my guitars this year to get 2 american BC Riches. I never looked back. I don't regret selling them one bit. I had one for 10 years, my first decent guitar. The others I had had for ranging from 2-4 years. It was well worth it in my mind.
 
Re: Super Urgent Question!!!!!

dont you need at least 2 guitars? ... one for a spare/backup for when you are touring?

i love my mccarty ... but i would be hard pressed to trade 2+$ for one

good luck either way

same here.. if it were just the two guitars I'd do it in a flash.. maybe +$500, but not $800
 
Re: Super Urgent Question!!!!!

Weigh the options in you own mind, think of what styles you can play to a tee using the PRS and think of the styles that you're sacrificing when giving up the Fender and G&L. The McCarty is not gonna twang like what you'd be giving up that's for damn sure, but if you've been looking for that kind of playability and thickness, then maybe you're in luck. I like PRS's and all but I wouldn't give up two otherwise great guitars just for one.

P.S.- Think of your name! It would be blasphemy.
 
Re: Super Urgent Question!!!!!

i will stick with the legacy and jap strat and save the $800 towards buying the mccarty or any other guitar i want.
 
Re: Super Urgent Question!!!!!

hmmm, this is all great food for thought, thanks guys . . . I'll be thinking about it,

What do you guys think of this price . . . 3200.00 (canadian) for a new Custom 24 with bird inlays?
 
Re: Super Urgent Question!!!!!

That's $2600 USD, which I think is pretty close to what Luke Duke paid for his, but I'll let him chime in on that one.

PRS guitars don't excite me, but there are many who swear by them. Luke's is nice, though I'd never tell him that. You should play one first to make sure.

:offtopic: I'm working on that clip, by the way.
 
Re: Super Urgent Question!!!!!

Not sure that any guitar is worth 2 others plus cash down, but if the piece turns you on, I say go for it.
 
Re: Super Urgent Question!!!!!

Absolutely not!!!! 2 guitars + cash for a PRS. No way.

On a more balanced note, have you tried playing different styles with the PRS? Consider the tradeoff in what you will have to give up tonewise for the relatively different tones of the PRS.
