Why does the McCarty model cost more, when it does not include a 5 position switch, it does not have locking tuners, it doesn come with a tremolo and the wood doesn look as nice?
A. There is more wood on the McCarty model, due to its thicker back. If you break it down by options, it does not cost you any more than a Custom 22 model. Comments from Ed Roman on Answer #3 That is total Bull. Lets break it down according to PRS’s price sheet. The list price for the PRS Custom is $2,650.00 as of 2001 The list price for the PRS McCarty is $2,840.00 as of 2001 That means that the McCarty is $240.00 more and it doesn’t come with locking tuners, In fact it doesn’t even come with high quality Schaller tuners. PRS has opted to use Korean made vintage style Kluson tuners. It doesn’t come with a 5 way switch, and you can’t order a 24 fret version !!! The topwood is less expensive midwest maple instead of the more expensive west coast big leaf maple. (BS to that) All the options cost the same on all the guitars so the statement about break it down by options is total doubletalk.
