A strikingly elegant electric guitar with vintage character and modern playability.
The PRS McCarty 10-Top electric guitar gives you a vintage-inspired tone with premium modern appointments. Featuring a figured maple 10-top with mahogany back and neck, this guitar provides balanced warmth and shimmering highs. The East Indian rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth playing feel, while the Pattern carve neck shape provides comfort and speed. With PRS McCarty TCI pickups, you'll achieve rich, articulate tones suited to any genre. For stability and sustain, the McCarty uses a straight stoptail bridge and hybrid tuners. When you want a guitar that honors PRS's roots but pushes the envelope, the McCarty 10-Top delivers.
Figured Maple Top Resonates Brightly
The McCarty's figured maple 10-top gives you a guitar that looks as stunning as it sounds. Maple is a dense, rigid wood that produces crisp articulation and a focused midrange. When paired with mahogany, as on the McCarty, the result is a tone with piano-like warmth and clarity. The 10-top's premium figured grain also provides dazzling aesthetics that catch the eye under stage lights.
East Indian Rosewood Fingerboard Offers Smooth Playability
With its oiled East Indian rosewood fingerboard, the McCarty gives you a smooth, fast playing feel reminiscent of PRS's early guitars. Rosewood has a warm, rich tone and naturally oily hardness that keeps your fingers moving quickly across the fingerboard. The McCarty's Pattern carve neck shape also provides comfort for intricate lead work and complex chording.
PRS McCarty TCI Pickups Achieve Articulate, Versatile Tones
The McCarty comes equipped with PRS McCarty TCI pickups that produce articulate tones suited to any music genre. These pickups have an airy, touch-sensitive quality in the bridge position for shimmering cleans and crunchy overdrives. The neck pickup delivers a robust low end and vocal midrange perfect for lead lines. With a five-way blade switch, you can access a variety of single-coil and humbucking pickup combinations for maximum tonal versatility.
Premium Components Provide Rock-Solid Performance
From the straight stoptail bridge to the hybrid tuners, the McCarty uses premium components for performance you can rely on. The stoptail bridge provides exceptional sustain and tuning stability. The hybrid tuners use a combination of open-back tuners on the bass side and PRS's proprietary Phase III enclosed tuners on the treble side for fast, accurate tuning. A push-pull tone control also provides coil-splitting for single-coil tones.
