There's one exactly the same in Reverb Birmingham, or at least there still was recently.

There's one at Peach Guitars too, plus a couple of used ones in Amber knocking about as well.

So will you keep all 3 McCartys now Dave, or are you tempted to strip the collection down still further?

For now, I'm keeping them all.  The McCarty models just suit me perfectly.  The McRosie is a working guitar, the other two are 'luxuries' I guess but have a different vibe.  Time will tell if they stay!

And to those who think I can afford to own two of these you must think I have a HUGE pay packet!  If I did, I would have bought one before now  ;)

Fantastic! Nice one twin..... the ultimate PRS IMO, I'm sure you're going to enjoy that one. The colour is great.. is it denim blue?

It's called Faded Blue Jean, so yeah it's like an old pair of 501s.  The back is natural mahogany, and the neck is naturally dark rosewood...

It's actual denim, look they've not even ironed it!

Yep, that's one!  How did you guess?  ;)

Great guitar that was, just couldn't love the 24 fret neck.  It felt a bit funny  :(

He didn't say.  His site is kept pretty up to date, so it should be up there in the next few days...

Thanks again guys.  I've had to put it down to go to bed, much to my dismay  :(

Got a full day of work before I can play it again  :(
