2001 PRS McCarty 10 Top All Rosewood Neck Violin Amber Sunburst

2001 PRS McCarty 10 Top All Rosewood Neck Violin Amber Sunburst One of the best PRS McCarty guitars I've ever had, and I've had more than 10 of them! There was only one similar with a rosewood neck, but it wasn't a 10 Top. This one is a 10 Top, and from back in the days when a 10 TOP was like today's Artist Grade Top - very beautiful, with consistently repeating even lines of maple. A standard McCarty of those times - the guitar is, by and large, a sibling of the Gibson Les Paul Standard in terms of sound - this is due to the specifications, body thickness, and pickups, which are very similar to old Gibson pickups; in this model they are called McCarty Bass and Treble respectively. However, this specific McCarty is distinguished by the fact that the entire neck is made of rosewood, not mahogany + rosewood. This adds velvetiness to the sound, and playability increases threefold due to the fact that the neck is essentially lacquer-free. And the tuners themselves are made to look like vintage tulips, yet they hold tuning better than Gibson's. It turns out to be a kind of exclusive mix of a PRS with a rosewood neck and a Gibson. But the playability and ergonomics of the PRS win, as always. In addition, this particular one optionally has knobs and pickup rings also made of rosewood, like on a PRS Private Stock; this option alone costs $300+. The neck itself is thick Wide Fat - it provides simply insane sustain, really infinite; every note played both in a solo and in a chord is readable on it. It is currently impossible to order a full rosewood neck as an option for a regular or even a 10 Top PRS - only Artist Package and waiting for half a year at the factory, and the price for them is now 6 k +. And here there is an opportunity to try out a rosewood neck with a 10 top like on an Artist 2 times cheaper! I think it's an excellent option! The guitar's electronics are fully functional, everything is original, there are a few marks, but they are either on the edges or on the back, they are not visible. Overall condition is 4 +. The original case is included. Sound example of the same guitar The guitar is located in Dnipropetrovsk! You can listen to it on good tube gear of your choice — Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Engl...
