They sound different
Mahogany You probably know
Korina has less of that snapy highs, more bass and more round and warm sounding mids. It's great wood for jazzy, clean stuff but it's hard to control all that warm with hot and bassy pickup.
Also as i know the korina McCarty don't come in blue burst. Please remember that korina that PRS is using on his guitars is almost yellow, without patterns or very visible grain, and more dark paint You put on it the more it looks like a plain color, not transparent,that's why I love it in natural finish,You can see the grain that looks like bug holes in wood
Did Your brother bought this guitar with 30day return policy?? maybe he can give it

yeah, he got it at Guitar Center, which has the 30-day thing, and he's definitely been considering that. i think we both realize also that he'd have to get a normal McCarty if he wanted one with the finish he really wants.
i'm gonna link him to this thread, see if he has anything to add.
