PRS 40th Anniversary McCarty SC56 Limited Edition (Translucent Black) [Limited Edition 40th Anniversary Model, 3.69kg]

Description

VINTAGE SOUL. MODERN PRECISION.

The 40th Anniversary PRS McCarty SC56 Limited Edition faithfully captures the essence of the model that defined the golden age of electric guitar while combining the playability and build quality demanded by today’s guitarists. With its classic PRS single-cutaway body design and carefully selected features, the McCarty SC56 pays homage to the history of the electric guitar while embodying the dreams of today’s guitarists. Featuring a maple top, mahogany back, and a 22-fret, 24.594-inch scale Pattern Vintage neck, the McCarty SC56 is designed for deep, harmonically rich tone and comfortable playability. The 24.594-inch scale and slightly thicker body produce a warm, resonant tone, while Phase III non-locking tuners and a PRS two-piece bridge ensure stable tuning and musical sustain. The meticulously engineered PRS McCarty III pickups are the heart of this instrument, delivering a warm, articulate tone with excellent string separation and dynamics for a vintage sound. The simple yet sophisticated control section—two volume and two tone controls and a 3-way toggle switch above the cutaway—is designed to allow players to focus on their playing. Attention

to detail, including the bound fingerboard, classic-style bird inlays, and a vintage-inspired nitrocellulose finish, truly embodies the perfect blend of tradition and innovation. Whether you’re a pure vintage tone seeker or a guitarist seeking a reliable companion for stage, studio, or recording, this is the perfect instrument for you.

The PRS 40th Anniversary McCarty SC56 is limited to just 400 units worldwide.
