Paul Reed Smith Guitars

PRS McCarty Archtop-this is the thick one not hollowbody type. It has a spruce top  &  mahagony back with moon's and ebony key's. I bought this new when Guitar Center opened their store here.  It was a display model and the only archtop they had at their store at the time. It was a new model for PRS then and can only be made now from Private Stock team due to the back and side's being carved from one block of wood. I don't know why b ut it has two hang tag's. The salesman told me that it was probably the only PRS that ever had two tag's and likely a factory mistake. It has two different finish date's in 1998 and was probably finished on the earlier date. It is in great condition with only a small spot on back of neck around 3rd. fret which is in the last picture. I have not played it alot and has spent most of the time in the case. I paid just over $3,100.00 for it with the case and tax when new. It sound's very mellow with low volume and can scream with overdrive when cranked. I am only selling because I lost my job and I am trying to not lose my home. It has a nice two tone sunburst which is simple buy very nice as all PRS guitar's. The wood grain looks similar to the top on a Martin D-41/45 or fine violin.  Shipping will be $50.00 insured and to the lower 48 USA ONLY by UPS w/ tracking.  Payment by paypal only and can be picked up local in southwestern ohio to save on shipping charge.  I will pack for safe transport and delivery.  Send any question's and I will check email thru-out the day and get back asap..
