PRS McCarty Stoptail with Rosewood / Ebony Board

[mermer]

Now I have another candidate: an 2024 wood library stoptail tremonti in black. The price is between the two I mentioned above, around 10% more expensive than the regular mccarty. I know the main difference between two guitars are the neck shape and the pickups: stock tremonti pickups seems more suitable for me considering what I would like to do with that guitar but I do not gel with very thin necks. What are you experiences with stoptail tremonti vs mccarty guitars? What would bring being the wood library on the top of the regular production?

I played a McCarty stop tail the other day and loved it. More modern than a Les Paul, but I really dug it and wouldn’t change anything on it. But funnily I played another in the same place and didn’t gel with it at all. So I’d be worried buying without trying.

I agree. I tried another stoptail mccarty from the same year in another music store and it was not as exciting feeling. Maybe the consistency a bit better in wood library / artist models due to the selected woods and a bit more attention.

They might be a bit too much for my taste but would be interested to try them. McCarty seems to be a solid ground to carry powerful pickups
