The Official Ted McCarty Limited Edition Love Thread!

[whitebread]

Here's my DC245 Ted. She's just a plain jane non-10 top with older non-engraved 57/08's. Supposedly she was the sales rep's demo guitar, after my dealer played her he just had to have it. It resonates like no-other guitar I've played.

Here's my DC245 Willcutt edition, currently residing in Singapore.





Together with her other siblings.

Great to see you here, Chuck!

Now that I have scored two awesome IRW Wood Library SC Ted's, I promise to stop stalking you to get my old one back, you can cancel the restraining order. :mrgreen:

Dibs still in effect, though!

Here is mine. I picked it up used, but in mint condition on the old BAM marketplace. I love it.

I was thinking I could have Paul do that for me.

On second thought, maybe I will just get him to sign one to me!

Smokeburst dc (once belonged to the originator of this thread) , swapped the p-90 s a few times and ended up with Tom Short Mini humbuckers. Love the pups.

Man you guys are unreal. AWESOME Ted's. I have my first Ted coming from Willcutt Guitars today. A nice Goldtop. Pictures to follow.

Just saw this one. Love that idea. One of my favorite tones of all time was my 1980 LP Deluxe with mini hums. I bet this guitar can get that tone in spades.

[yankeebulldog]

Bump for my newest addition.


Swapped out the 57/08s for a set of uncovered 59/09s.
