Private Stock Tonewoods — A Symphony of Sound and Beauty
This McCarty Dragon features a Private Stock figured maple top and a mahogany back, a combination that delivers a rich, resonant tone with exceptional clarity and sustain. The figured maple top adds a touch of visual flair with its unique grain patterns, while the mahogany back provides warmth and depth. The one-piece ziricote neck contributes to the guitar's overall resonance and offers a smooth, comfortable playing experience.
McCarty III Pickups — Warm, Clear, and Expressive
The Private Stock 40th Anniversary McCarty Dragon is equipped with PRS McCarty III pickups, delivering a lush, vocal quality that is warm, clear, and open.

Extraordinary Dragon Inlay — A Work of Art

The dragon, comprised of over 200 pieces of inlay in an array of materials, including Blue Pacific Opal, Brown Scale Juma, and Gold, Black, White, and Brown Mother of Pearl, extends from the headstock to the truss rod cover, creating a breathtaking visual spectacle.
