Ok, did anyone mention "Confession" ?

Dave has stipulated my PRS GAS and this rosewood thing was quite sticky too, so yesterday I scored on the bay, a '98 McCarty RW for 1,435GBP. Should arrive here mid next week, can't wait!!

You should be ashamed.....great stuff well done.

[dave_mc]

awesome. :)



(ok, all these confession threads have guilted me into it- i picked up a JJ Jewel Junior with p90s a couple of weeks ago. :lol: don't have any pics, though (which is why i didn't publicise it).)

That's sweet! The rosewood necks have always interested me.

But would you guys quit it already?! I'm supposed to be moving into a new flat next month, and I've already now got such severe GAS that I might spend the money I need for the bond and first month's rent!

Recession? Not in here! Well done looks tasty!  8)

Well somehow this is related to recession, as I was just made redundant - and then there is what Belgians call the "golden parachute" - let's say there is some payment involved, it helps cure GAS temporarily :O)

Hunter,

Very nice guitar.  You buying for yourself or buying to sell it to Dave.  Just koking enjoy.

Bugger sorry to here about the job.

Bugger sorry to here about the job.

Dude, it's fine really. I got well compensated, and then I gotta act for some change anyways after 8 years in the same company. Plus the missus still earns well too, so she can be the man for a bit while I'm reorienting ... after all it gives me some time to play and enjoy BKPs too!

[FernandoDuarte]

Very nice!
I like the grain on the Rosewood neck

[hunter]

Well from the pics it seems to confirm Philly Qs theory that PRS nickel hardware tarnishes quickly. But then again, the Axe is already >10y old, so guess that's acceptable. Seller says frets are still great, so in that case I like the fact that it's not a baby guitar anymore. I like them to have a few years ...

[dave_mc]

sorry to hear about the job too, hunter. :(

you're right about the tarnishing, looking at those pics the hardware does look very matte now. not that it's a problem or anything, some people even prefer it like that...

nice colour too, btw. :)

[Will]

Wow...
I need to get over the weird thing in the bottom cutaway though. Looks ugly

[Ian Price]

Great stuff Hunter. Where will all this NGD stuff end! First we had Philly and Dave, then gWem, then me and now you! Anyone else I've forgotten?

[viking]

Nice catch!Well done  8) It's not so easy to find the right McCarty,w/birds and rosewood neck.Don't worry about the hardware being tarnished;the only tarnished parts on my Cu22 are the BKP Mules  :lol:Don't forget to post a full report when you'll get it! (PS:A golden parachute?Are you millionnaire now?Or maybe is it a silver parachute? :))
