FS: PRS S2 McCarty 594, upgraded HB LP Junior-DC FAT neck

What's Hot

edited September 2023 in Guitars £
I've basically decided that I'm in the fortunate position of having far too many twin-humbucker guitars, so I'm looking to shrink the herd a little and probably consolidate a few into a Core DGT or 'real' LP Custom at long last *edit - oops, I bought a Paul’s Guitar!* **double edit - oops, I bought a Jazzmaster!**

I'm based in Yeovil/South Somerset but I'm regularly in E.London too most weeks so I could meet in-between or somewhere (relatively) near (i.e. vaguely along the A303, M3, M25).

  • 2021 PRS S2 McCarty 594 w/PRS gigbag in faded smokeburst or somesuch. Again, available either in stock form for £1,099, or with the SD5 Custom for £1,169  + post. The SD adds a little kick to the bridge, splits beautifully, and marries up well with the stock neck pickup - I'd genuinely recommend keeping this one in there! 7lbs 10oz  
  • Neck @1st: ;;;;;22.5mm
  • Neck @12th: 26.0mm
  • Note: I have the original double-box shipping cartons here and packaging, so I'm happy to post this one.

Added 20/09:
  • Harley Benton (LP) DC-Junior FAT in Faded Cherry
  • This one's been upgraded/modded with a new wraparound bridge, CTS 500k pots, sprague caps, and a Vanson A5 dogear P90 in place of the stock Roswell stacked one. Unbelievable quality for this price-point, and includes a figured ebony board too. The Jr weighs just 6lbs 15oz, and all of the original parts are included.   £140+post SOLD
  • Neck @1st: 22.4mm
  • Neck @12th: 24.7mm
  • Specs: thomann.de

(SOLD)    80s Greco LP Custom (EGC 68-60 Mint Collection series) 
w/OHSC - I go back and forth over selling this, as it's just a great LP in every respect. Long-tenon neck joint, medium C neck profile, 22.5mm deep at the nut, 9lb 12oz, split diamond headstock inlay, ebanol fingerboard, (new) bone nut, gotoh hardware (note: de-golded), and an SD59/JB set. What's not to like?  £600  Pics here: https://imgur.com/gallery/ttccADn

*edit* The thing on the Greco’s headstock is a silly subtle ‘tribute’ to Adam Jones’ main Silverburst that he plays on Stage - it’s just a blind-spot mirror lightly tacked on there, and yes, 100% removable without damaging the finish 

2019 Gibson Explorer, antique natural w/OHSC. (SOLD)
Available either as stock for £1,200, or in its current 'enhanced' guise with the WD BWBWB 30-deg pickguard, and a pair of 80s SD 59/JBJ pickups, and all stock parts (i.e. BB2/3 set, WBW pickguard) for £1,350   Note: this one has a 22mm neck at the nut, and is around 8.5lbs, I'll get it on the scales to confirm. Pics here: https://imgur.com/a/2lMKXFp

    Heh - you know you do Mike!  It's a pretty standard modern C, I'll measure it up but I'd guess 21-22mm at the nut :)

    Let me see if I end up actually playing bass or guitar in my band in the next few weeks. Don't hold it for me but if it's still here then...

    I generally REALLY don't like black guitars. I'm not good with heavyish guitars either. But my Lord I've got the hots for that Greco (especially without the gold hardware).

    Updates:

    @Stickyfiddle, the neck on the Explorer is a comfy 22mm at the nut, and otherwise a fairly typical C profile.

    I've been sorting through my spares drawers and found an unused gold ABR-1 (sung-il), and the original gold stoptail and studs for the Greco. I'd forgotten that I'd swapped that one out for an AllParts aluminum version, so they're available to be swapped out with the chrome parts that are on there now if anyone was thinking of re-golding this!  I also have a set of nickel Grover 18:1 tuners from long ago* if you don't happen to like the Gotoh keystones - happy to swap those over too.

    *no idea how old, but not 'new'

    Thanks, @robdynamite - I'm in two minds about selling that one in particular, but something's caught my eye (again!) so...!





    ^ highlighting these two as the finish and figure changes a lot with the light levels, it's a lovely piece of mahogany :)

    Postage option added for the 594, I have the original shipping boxes from Peach, so it should be more than adequately protected :)

    Bump - could be tempted by offsets or teles against the 594
