How We Spray McCarty Sunburst | From the Factory Floor | PRS Guitars

[@nathanielvargas3863]

Is this the man who is responsible for the best PRS color Eriza Verde?

[@IanArizpeArroyo]

Lmao that’s funny you say that. I didn’t buy the 24-08 cause I didn’t like any of the colors. Especially the green.

[@prsguitars]

It sure is! Can anyone guess another PRS color named after him?

First impressions, you take the health of your staff seriously. The level of PPE here compared to a similar Gibson video is night and day. Pleased to see this. Please keep these videos coming. Been really enjoying the series and gives a much more personal touch to the company.

[@fearnpol4938]

Better than Gibson for sure but still way behind Fender or any car paint room!

[@davidbetts1180]

@@fearnpol4938 agreed there. It would be nice to see PRS invest a bit more to the level of Fender. I'm shocked at Gibson. In the American culture of everyone threatening to sue each other (saying that as an outsider) I found it odd they left themselves open like that. I would like to see these kind of videos at the factories in the far East to see the difference.

[@ThePandaProcrastinates]

Eriza! The man, the myth, the legend!!

[@WhaleBluePRS]

I have a '98 McCarty in McCarty Sunburst with a one-piece top. Got it brand new in 2002 as a "loss-leader" in a clearance sale. Never changed a thing on it other than strings and installed Schaller straplocks. What a guitar! (I'll have to check, pretty sure it's a contour burst. Didn't know there were 2 different 'bursts until this video.)

[@roberi1192]

Very proud of my brother- Please let him know - I got the next round …😄

😎👍💗🇺🇸🎸 LONG LIVE PRS!!! Relic free since 1985!

[@BAMozzy69]

Much prefer the 'contour' burst to the 'teardrop' style myself, but each to their own...

[@LotharOfTheHillPeople]

On a double-cut, for sure. I prefer the teardrop on the single-cut though, it looks more traditional and somehow more luxurious.

[@_benjimouse_]

Same, it's good to know what it's called for when I spec my lotto winnings private stock.

[@LuisMorales-xr1gm]

Especially on Singlecut. I'm not a big fan of the teardrop burst

[@BAMozzy69]

@@mr.nobody68 Not everyone - I always thought the teardrop was a 'mistake' where the sprayer was covering up something - like the 'evenness' of the burst edge - too thick and the lower horn gets lost and trying to even that out resulted in covering the top 'horn'. It never looked right to me - particularly with a 'strong' contrast burst (like Cherry Charcoal burst for example). But as I said before, each to their own. Some may well prefer a 'heavier' burst, particularly on a LP Singlecut style, but the 'bursts' I always prefered, before PRS started doing 'bursts', were always the more 'contoured' style that kept an 'even' thickness around the whole shape of the guitar.

[@ericks.9936]

I felt the same with my Gibsons. Even more with a contoured PRS.

[@Bardish]

I really love these videos, as a huge PRS fan, thank you💗

[@realtruenorth]

I think PRS has some of the best colors of guitars these days. So many good ones, and they keep changing them which is good.

[@stevetrimmins2129]

One of the best channels and series on KZbin. Thanks PRS team.

[@prsguitars]

Thanks for the kind words, Steve!

[@elohimembroidery]

After always playing Jackson, I pulled the trigger on a SE 24-08 last year and I am kicking myself for not jumping sooner. Such a great value for such a versatile guitar.

[@loopmasta5104]

Great Video. I really enjoy the 'From The Factory Floor’ PRS series.

[@slabrosewood]

Cette série "From the Factory Floor " est vraiment excellente, continuez là pendant encore longtemps s'il vous plaît ! Vos équipes sont vraiment sympas !

[@prsguitars]

Gracias, slabrosewood. Mientras la gente esté sintonizada, continuaremos haciendo estos videos.

[@joaolucianodinizcosta4095]

Best video entering of all time :D!! ahahah

[@Riverdeepnwide]

Enjoyed Matt’s input here explaining things and the funny opening too 👍🏻

[@pleasantlindsey33]

I'm a huge fan of two of Matt's color creations, Blue Matteo and Matteo Mist.

[@AveyroadOfficial]

this is why I love PRS guitars so much :)

[@synonyx]

Very subtle, but really good looking!

[@ChaziChaz89]

more with Matt Eriza please

[@mikeKidLazy]

Matt Eriza, if you get to see this, thank you so much for having come up with the Eriza Verde finish. That's my all-time favorite PRS color.

[@prsguitars]

We'll make sure he gets this message. Thanks, Mike.

[@mikeKidLazy]

@@prsguitars Thank you too! 😃

[@gregorygetable]

Very cool. Wonderful to get so many invitations into how the guitars created. So far I have S2 McCarty 594, SE Paul's, SE 245, each is unique and amazing.

[@donciseau]

Excellent guitars!

[@azizaziz7007]

I got a WL Livingston lemon, looks very close to McCarty sunburst. I love the golden hue

[@tomguitar1963]

I’ve just got a 2021 custom 22 maccarty burst😎

[@brandonanderson2066]

The one on sale at GC? I ordered the last orange tiger 22 😎

[@SheriffUSA]

I have trolled every online and local guitar dealer for PRS for years, looking for the 'perfect' next guitar for me. Paul's Boyd Burst finally got me off the dime. Got my Boyd Burst Tremonti from Watchtower Guitars last summer. LOVE the guitar, and it always gets a ton of attention when I bring it out. Does Paul paint all of the Boyd Bursts? Could you pass along how grateful I am for his work? Matt's colors are stunning and I bet my next guitar will be one of his color creations. Thanks again.

[@prsguitars]

Glad to hear that you found the guitar you have been looking for for so long. We will pass this message to Paul Boyd. Thanks for the love and support, Will.

[@ayeapprove]

This guy should be doing stand up as well

[@peachmelba1000]

At one point, the guy spraying the guitar grabs the hook after doing the sides, back, and neck, and his sleeve appears to touch the wet lacquer. Does it just flash off incredibly fast, or did I miss an edit?

[@ktm3602]

What would be the difference between the McCarty sunburst and what I have on my wood library 594 called faded McCarty burst

[@davidedwards7172]

Is this the person who created my favorite color eriza verde?

[@PaulCooksStuff]

It sounds sexier than Matt's Green.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Yes. And his first name is Matteo; hence "Blue Matteo." PRS encourages the finish team to come up with new colors; when they do--and they're used on production guitars--they get named after the finisher that came up with the color scheme. How cool is that?

[@KRayxKodessA]

I wonder if he had anything to do with my 2010 EXP PRS Orange Tiger burst Tremonti...

[@Bigboybooya666]

he makes that look way easier than it is

[@bukwok]

what happend if overshoot a spot way darker, is take more time to fix it..?or just easy fix,no big deal..?

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

It gets fixed. No guitar leaves the factory unless it's virtually perfect.

[@brandonanderson2066]

Gotta have a cool last name if you work at PRS.

[@MrJireh09]

Mr Eriza green?

[@Think_Up]

One of my favorites... I just wish they didn't do the backs in red, which turns it into a hot dog stand, ketchup and mustard look. Over time the backs seem to have become even more red. So I admire McCarty burst tops, but buy guitars in other colors to avoid the Ronald McDonald color scheme.

[@NINEWALKING]

I own 594 Wood Library Ten top McCarty Burst quilted top. There is no burst. I think it's contour burst gone wrong. Middle is to dark. Pity this top would be even bigger killer if it was bit lighter in the middle.

[@robsonf6683]

No one can touch PRS !

[@somebodysomeone832]

What is this man’s accent?

[@prsguitars42]

Just curious........wouldn't a mechanized(i.g. robotics) painter do a higher quality/better job considering these high end, high quality guitars??

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Robots are used for the clear base coat. However, for subtle color gradations in bursts and fades you need human hands and human eyes on the wood because it is not a consistent material. If these were not made of wood, robots would work.
