1998 PRS McCarty Hollowbody II 10 TOP Teal

1998 PRS McCarty Hollowbody II 10 TOP Teal It is no secret that one of my personal guitars is the first hollowbody with piezo. I have recorded and performed concerts with this guitar, and I can say with confidence that before the release of PRS P22 and PRS P24 and PRS P245, for me it was the most versatile guitar, but of course solidbodies should not be equated to hollowbodies... these guitars sound superb on clean, beyond all praise. The P22 and P24 are beefier. What can I say regarding the difference between Hollowbody I and Hollowbody II? It is simple, here theory supports practice: the first hollowbody has one top, while the back and sides are mahogany, on the second there are two tops on both sides and mahogany sides, maple as is known gives more highs, and so it turned out that the second HB sounds brighter than the first. Perhaps that is all, the thickness of the bodies is identical, I listened to two guitars on the same amplifier with the same Elixir strings - the difference is that this Hollowbody has about 15 percent more highs in the frequency response by ear. And this Teal has a more beautiful top externally because it is 10 TOP, judge for yourself by the photos, it is gorgeous! Pickups - PRS McCarty Archtop Rosewood tuning pegs in the color of the neck, birds, all the beauty of PRS... actually, as usual! Even the case is the same - leather-covered shaped case. 3-way switch and tone with volume - everything works like clockwork. For lovers of hollow bodies - a find, nothing superfluous, beautiful and it sounds! Jazz and blues on it sound gorgeous, I even played metal, thanks to the second top it sounds bright and confident even in dropped tuning. The guitar is in good condition for its almost 20 years, there are a couple of marks, but nothing brutal, by the way, this is one of the first Hollowbody IIs, it still has its own aura and sound, there are none like this now ;) the guitar is of course made in the USA I will not send clean sound reviews, the awesomeness of the PRS McCarty Hollowbody II clean sound is already clear, I will send how djent and metal are played on it to break established stereotypes) The guitar comes with its original leather-covered case! The guitar is located in Dnipropetrovsk! You can listen to it on a good tube amplifier of your choice — Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Engl.... I will deliver to any point in the world
