Title: Short instrumental using a PRS McCarty
Post by: godinqc on March 27, 2024, 10:14:43 AM
I recently rented a PRS McCarty SE from my local guitar shop .. I'm trying to add to my collection of guitar but not really sure what I want ..  ;D
This is a quick instrumental trying out the guitar ..

Great guitar instrumental and demo of the PRS. Sounds like it has sustain-for-days and a very sweet tone.

you gotta love it... or don't get it... I gotta ask, I was looking at these so I could relate a little to your post... some of the guitars cost 4500 others are around 800... they look the same... but obviously they cannot be. 

truthfully, most of the playing comes from who is holding the guitar... and you do that very well... I do like your playing... this sounds great.. will be interesting to see your decisions...

you have a style that is not real common... I really like that...

Well sounding like that it wouldn't be going back to the shop!
It reminded me totally (obvs different context), of a pub rock band I saw in London playing the song 'Sultans of Swing'.
Whatever the tone or backing you have complements the guitar tone perfectly. Buy it!!  8)

Great little instrumental you came up with here. Some lovely note choices. The guitar sounds lovely can't fault it listening to this.

Guitar sounds lovely on here, I guess its really down to how it sounds in whatever other circumstances you pay in, rehearsal room, home, clubs etc. and of course how it feels.

Theres an interesting part about 48 sec in, where the lead seems to go mono for a few moments. I'm not sure if this is intentional as its only here. Either way I think its a great idea, its a contrast to the main tone; out there, then suddenly focussed.

>> some of the guitars cost 4500 others are around 800..
Your right on the numbers Stephen, this PRS is a used one it's about $800 canadian ..
I find the neck is a bit different to get used to .. its asymmetrical Pattern Vintage.
I can rent any used guitars at my local guitar shop .. so my try a couple of different ones before making a decision.
Well see how it goes ..
