PRS McCarty 10 Top Custom Color with Hardshell Case
The PRS McCarty 10 Top: A Vintage Inspired PRS With Modern Precision
PRS McCarty Design and Heritage
Named after Ted McCarty, one of the most influential pioneers in the electric guitar industry, the PRS McCarty represents a thoughtful blend of vintage inspiration and modern guitar design. This model reflects decades of research and development from PRS while honoring the golden era of electric guitars. The slightly thicker back and set neck construction enhance resonance and sustain, giving the instrument a rich and authoritative voice that responds beautifully to both delicate phrasing and powerful playing.
Maple 10 Top and Mahogany Tonewoods
The tone of the McCarty begins with a classic combination of maple and mahogany. The carved maple adds clarity, definition and visual elegance while the mahogany back delivers warmth and depth. Together they create a balanced voice with excellent sustain and a lively response that allows chords to bloom and single notes to sing with remarkable character.
McCarty III Pickups and Versatile Electronics
Loaded with PRS McCarty III pickups, this guitar delivers vintage inspired humbucking tone with exceptional clarity and articulation. These pickups were developed through extensive research and signal analysis by Paul Reed Smith and the PRS engineering team. The result is a full and warm voice with a vocal quality that retains detail across the frequency spectrum. A push pull tone control paired with a 3 way toggle switch expands the tonal range further, offering both traditional humbucking power and articulate split coil textures.
Precision Hardware and Resonant Design
The PRS stoptail bridge with brass inserts maximizes energy transfer between the strings and body for enhanced sustain and tonal richness. Paired with PRS Phase III non locking, the hardware promotes excellent resonance while maintaining reliable tuning stability. The bound Pattern neck profile and smooth rosewood fingerboard provide a comfortable playing experience that feels equally at home with expressive bends, articulate chord work and fluid lead playing.
