McCarty 594

Holy fuck! That's, erm, quite a collection there.

Yep, it just got away on me I blame Conway.

These 594's are really living to the hype. I yet have to hear or read a bad review. The neck is really a fun to play, it has the 50's feel but fast and sleek. The 58/15LT pickups have the clarity in them and never gets muddy compared to BBs. Although I'm not really a fan of low output pickups, these can stack up to my high gain settings without losing character, well that's just me in my bedroom hero rock mode:lol:

He has a lot to answer for.

They're all nice but I especially like the one far right. That's a beautiful finish.

ditto. I love that colour, it has the green lemon/dirty lemon hue that Gibson has,the open coil pickups compliment the beautiful finish.

That singlecut looks like a core model, with the color and top. I just realized it's an SE when I saw the second photo. Those SE 245s are packing some serious tone, top carve is not far from the core ones.

Where'd you get those trussrod covers? They look awesome.

The SE 245 has had numerous upgrades actually. It's a fantastic guitar but I just can't gel with it for some reason.

The covers are custom made by me out of recycled rimu from a friend's house. That's my late dog on them.

Those trussrod covers are fun to make with the proper tools, personally I like the wood finish compared to the stock plastics. Perhaps PRSh would add that on the next core models, sans the artist, WL and PS options.

I only have a cheap thicknesser and ended up wasting a fair bit of wood. I have numerous bits of timber here that would make nice scratch plates, truss rod covers, etc. If only I have the right tools... my kingdom for a bandsaw...

Picking a favourite there, Conway. I'd have to say the one in your avatar. Love that neck. The swamp ash would be a second choice. You're right that I did own that P90 fella three times. Those duties are held down by my R6 now though
