Lately I've been playing clean a lot and starting to learn some jazz... as a result when this popped up on ebay for a ridiculously high price I figured what the hell I'd make a reasonable offer and get turned down. Thing was I didn't get turned down so I am now the proud owner of a '98 PRS McCarty Archtop II with double quilt 10 tops.
I am loving this guitar. The tone, feel, and playability are all awesome. The frets are currently in MAJOR need of a cleaning, but I'm waiting for a set of Phase II locking tuners and some flame maple pickup rings and switch tip before I do the clean / setup on it. I'm going to try a set of Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Swing 12 flatwounds on this, and if I don't like them I have a set of my usual Elixirs to fall back on (11s).
Anyways, enough talking, on to the pics (the hardware and finish on this are in pretty much mint condition, anything in the pics is a reflection)![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
