PRS SE McCarty 594. How much marital trouble is it worth?

[Piing]

I've always been into Strats and SuperStrats. Never been a Gibson LP guy. Too heavy and anti-ergonomic for my taste. But now I am very curious about the new PRS SE McCarty 594, since PRS seems to overcome some of the Gibson inadequacies.

There is a $1,048 offer from the official distributor in Thailand that expires tomorrow, Sunday 22nd: Advance a deposit of $200, and get in on Wednesday 25th January paying the difference (and get a free PRS Headstock Tuner). The normal selling price here will be $1,500

I am craving for the Singlecut Black Gold Burst

The problem is that I will not comply with the Guitar-In/Guitar-Out rule, so I may be in trouble

Can you suggest some clever excuse?

There's laws.
Then there's laws that need to be changed.
And then there's laws that need to be broken.
Pick your poison.

I have 2 custom guitars showing up in the first half of this year (April and July respectively)… Only one has been declared to the spousel-unit.

But, I should add that I drop hints all the time about needing a bass

FWIW the “what guitar? I’ve had that for years” approach has an 80% success rate, at least 50% of the time.

Even greater if it's remotely close in color to a guitar you once had.

“Look lady, the bills are paid, emergency funds are in the bank, we’re not living off pasta noodles and butter, this guitar hurts no one or no thing and it’s pretty to look at. You can name it with me.”

Will she notice the single-cut PRS amongst all my double-cut Strats and Ibanez?

G-I/G-O. Ok, if taken in the order written, that means the G-I comes first. It doesn't clarify when the G-O part of the rule must take place. As long as it happens sometime before another G-I, I'd say you're in compliance of the terms.

Marriage is overrated anyways!

Not a single discouraging advice saying that this guitar is not worthy at all?

you're not helping


BTW, Am I the only one that doesn't like the shape of the PRS double-cut? Maybe I am so used to the iconic Fender Strat shape that any deviation from that on the two horns is perceived as an abnormal malformation

I've also heard that the single-cut version has more "oomph" at the low-mid frequencies. Can that be true?

Personally, I prefer the single cut. But I'm as excited as you about an SE 594. Played an SE Paul's guitar Friday that was pretty.great - super light but all the weight tonally one wants from a Gibson-y HH guitar.

If it’s going to be marital trouble, make it really worth it and get the core model….

Great point!

Talking about deformed double horns, Why so much hype about the SE DGT that has been released at the same time of this SE McCarty 594? All YouTubers, Influenzas and their mothers are on fire. I used to think that they could not come with higher words to say how much do they love the product they are reviewing, but with the SE DGT they are on chocolate steroids.

Would I make a mistake if I get the SE 594 instead of the SE DGT, aka "the best inexpensive guitar in the world that everyone was waiting for"?

I assume you've checked out the specs. I'd suspect they'd feel like 2 different animals, with the different scale lengths, and the lighter strings on the McCarty 594.

Yes. I want something different to the Strat, more LesPauly but without the Gibson stigma. If I am not wrong, I assume that the 594 is more on that territory. And without trem

I've pulled the trigger! But I don't know where the bullet will hit

Do you know what was has convinced me? The hook on the gigbag to hang it inside the closet. That is brilliant!!! She never iron my clothes

Thanks to Phillip McNight for the revelation

He literally says: "there is a hook here so you can hang it in your closet or behind the door to get it out of the way". As soon as I heard "out of the way" I was illuminated
