What's included in the sale:- 2003 PRS USA McCarty Standard Soapbar in Vintage Cherry w/ factory Indian Rosewood Neck upgrade- MannMade USA 2300 Intonatable Stoptail Bridge- Kloppmann SB52 Handmade P90 Soapbar PUs- Crazyparts Germany upgrades- Hardcase with all the factory original parts and paperworkAnyone who is familiar with PRS Guitars knows that the combination of McCarty/Standard/Rosewood Neck/Soapbar is quite uncommon. There is something beautifully understated about the simplicity of a slab of Mahogany and Rosewood married together without the flamboyant maple top or bird inlays.Condition:This guitar has been my bedroom guitar so it has never left the home. The rosewood neck is beautifully silky smooth and the body has no major imperfections or dents, only some playing surface scratches. The frets are in great condition with plenty of life remaining. Overall the guitar is in great condition given it was manufactured 13 years ago.Upgrades:This guitar has been upgraded with a MannMade USA 2300 Intonatable Stoptail Bridge with brass saddles for superior tone transfer and sustain.The Pickups have been replaced with Kloppmann SB52 P90s which are a true replication of the 1952 Gibson P90. Andreas Kloppmann (aka the Pickup Pope) is a true master of pickups. These have a lower output and sweeter tone than the stock PRS/Duncan pickups. They set me back around 500 AUD for the set.The truss rod cover, back cover, pickup covers, tone selector switch and volume/tone knobs have all been replaced with ebony and maple wood parts from Crazy Parts in Germany. All the original factory parts and pickups are included with the sale.
