I have one in the same spec as that, not for sale as quite simply it is the best and most versatile guitar I have ever owned, and when I bought it I was told they had done a ltd run of only six in autumn sky for Europe. Three with moons and three with birds so if correct quite a rare beast.

Won’t be going anywhere. Peach have a new yellow tiger at £4K and not even a 10 top. Think I got a bargain thanks to the forum

I’ve got a light standard in seafoam green that I’m thinking about selling on the likely cheaper end of the scale...

Can I suggest a trip to Coda for you to find out what you like. There's a surprising amount of difference between a McCarty and a 594 and likewise a DGT vs either.
They're all vintage based, but the scale length of the 594 has an impact and not everyone likes the short scale. The DGT is definitely a different instrument too.
I could make a case for owning all 3, but I'm a gear tart

I normally do not recommend going to a shop to try because over here there are no shops.  Either something turns up locally or you buy blind and leave it to the fates.
However, in this case if you can try them all before buying, it would be worthwhile.
At the moment I have a DGT, a Paul's and a 594 single cut.  They are all quite different.  In traditional terms, they are as different as a strat, a tele or a Les Paul, but also none of those.

Thanks Gents

Familiar with the DGT and 594. I’ve played one McCarty but the lack of 2 volumes ruled it out for me at that point - I’m a little more relaxed on that now and as I’m looking for a guitar to gig, there’s a case for it’s simplicity 

Really, the priory is it being a great player than the variations in specs

I couldn’t justify buying at new prices and then gigging, so something that’s had a life is really where I’m at
