Got some BANGER (as the kids say) Single Cuts…

Post by JerEvil »

Well, 2024 ended strong with 2 Les Paul Standards and a PRS S2 McCarty Wood Library.

The S2 surprised me as I gave up giving a f*ck about PRS about a decade ago. Last I knew the S2’s were US bodies with S2 hardware and electronics.

Was browsing Reverb bored looking for my old SC245 and found a wood library run of McCarty’s with satin finish, ebony boards and sick tops. Bought this one and have a purple burst inbound as well. They took $600 off each for buying 2.



Next is a Gibson Standard “Blood Moon” that I got from my drummer. He owns a music shop and got it in on trade. He offered it to me for peanuts (comparatively speaking) so I nabbed it. Love this guitar. Wish it had the 50’s neck but alas…



Last is a grail one for me. 2005 Les Paul Standard Gold Top. Got this from an amp builder buddy for $1500! Killer deal but again, kind of a bro situation so couldn’t say no.



Crazy, I only ever bought a Les Paul because I did KISS tributes but these 2 in particular have become some of my favorite guitars hands down.

The PRS is a monster player. Oddly slightly shorter scale than even the LP’s but it’s awesome for lead playing as still gets really chuggy.

Damn, I don't usually like red, but that LP looks sweet.
I like 5150s. The rest of you bullshit amps can get fucked.

I’m not going to lie, my first thought when my buddy was like “check out this Les Paul” and then he opened it was , “well fuck, it looks just like the 4 knob old Eclipse I always wanted!”

Those never pop up when I have the cash! Lol. Figured may as well grab this as it’s pretty unique for a Lp. I really like the black MOP inlays as well since it almost looks like there are none in there.

Geezus. All 3 look killer!

Going to move a Slash Victoria gold top with 50's neck soon to fund a Chubtone build before they close up shop. Love the Chubtone I have now, but there are a couple things I would change.

Be careful with that case, it dents very easily. I learned that the hard way when I had a 2016 LP Traditional HP with the same case. Keep it for home storage and use something else for gigs etc.
