I’m not usually a PRS guy, but that’s a very pretty guitar.

That's obscene!

Oh man that is a gorgeous guitar. I've always been tempted by the McCarty series.

Chris will tell you that I've been chasing it for years.  I'm nothing, if not persistent!

I know it's not Hamer or Shishkov related, but my 35 year old Peavey Falcon Custom rocks.  Plus, it's BLUE and it sounds better!

I am a PRS guy. I love the 594's.

Aside from the extra controls, how do they compare with the "regular" McCarty? I mean I guess if you are nuts about intonation, the 594 would be a no brainer, but tons of people seem to love the compensated single piece bridge. dang they do have a lot of interesting double cut designs.

The body is a little thicker on the 594.

Also looks like the scale length is 24.594, so I guess it's a bit more "G-brand" than the regular McCarty, which is 25" scale. This also has reminded me that i don't think my PRS CE 24 has seen the light of day for over a year. I should unleash it a bit more often.

I will use any excuse to post a Machete.  Now I have one.  The PRS is bitchin.

I had the cherry Reverse Machete "RM" Proto out last week.  The cherry one...

The "Fleetwood."  I never liked that name.

When he created that model, the late, great Dave Wintz started a thread on the now defunct Robin Lovers Forum asking what we thought it should be called.
I thought is should simply be called The Reverse because, as you pointed out it is a reverse Machete. 

Somehow we ended up with Fleetwood. 

Dave often took my marketing advice, but this was not one of those times.

Your name was better.
