greetings
i was a total cynic before i bought my PRS McCarty, especially after having bad experiences with the Les Paul. i thought if these set neck units are gonna hamper playability then it's not worth investing in any...
after reading rave reviews & hearing impressive soundclips in magazines, i began to realize that i should not equate the PRS with other guitars as the comparisons are simply unsound (forgive the pun)
it's like Audi vs Honda- 2 totally different performances.
anyway, after the acquisition, i didn't regret owning a PRS. do not be hampered by its specs eg: wide fat neck, vintage pickups... you
must try it out to hear its worth. my PRS can pull off any tone i desire- fusion/ blues/ metal etc. it just takes a little EQ & amp tweaking
of course, others would argue whether this overpriced guitar is worth the asking price. it's a personal experience, i must say.
BTW, it's not the ultimate guitar for me as i keep going back to my Ibanez (the most) & Fender
