WTB - PRS McCarty Soapbar

webrthomson

In the market for a PRS McCarty with P90's - bonus points if its a goldtop with moons and a rosewood neck

Might go for a 594, but really prefer the slightly longer scale length on the normal McCarty.

What have you lot got then?

I’ve been looking for a McCarty mcsoapy gold top with rosewood neck for two years without success, not sure if they exist.

webrthomson

Yeah they do seem a tad Unicorn, I've seen some P90 / goldtop / moons though

Was just a bit more than I was willing to pay for a standard but the RW neck was a must for me.

That was my personal guitar a few years ago - it's a cracker

I have been eyeing that up - not sure on the price? @Grampa and @WindmillGuitars do we think thats a fair price then?

I almost bought it from a fellow member a while ago, though couldn't quite justify at the time, for IIRC around £1600. I'd now possibly go to £1700 but that would be my top offer.

Agree, I think that price is rather high too...

WindmillGuitars

@webrthomson I’d say £1650 for a private sale would be about right

Thanks @hadded03 - saw that but I've already picked up a 594 Soapbar so out of funds, otherwise I'd have it
