the sg was a real looker and played and sounded great but I wasn’t really playing it ever and it was just too damn noisy for the levels of gain I play at. A McCarty has been on my short list and this dude was down so I did it. No need to fear for my LP or strat but as those are lifers but I’m a full blown PRs convert. Only 20 or so minutes of ply time so far but I’m loving it

Pile on the PRS!

I definitely prefer the carve they do on the core models, but I've come around on the bevel. It is quite comfortable.
I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the "S" version pickups that are in here, but so far I think they sound great and don't really see a reason to change anything there. Definitely more vintage voiced than the dragon IIs or 85/15, obviously. The coil splitting is really nice on this guitar. I've found that PRS in general is superior to most when it comes to coil spliting, and I think this one might even be a step ahead than my other prs.
Neck is pretty chonky with the vintage pattern shape, just a bit fatter than the wide fat neck on my custom 22. The neck cut away is also quite impressive on this, and different than my other PRS... I've never had an issue with upper fret access on anything, but the way they designed it is pretty nice

These pickups are clones of the 58/15 LT and I had a core McCarty at the same time and they are close enough to be nearly identical. I think PRS winds the split coil hotter to make the splitting so good.
