The Paul Reed Smith (PRS) McCarty in McCarty Sunburst is a tribute to Ted McCarty, a pioneer in the electric guitar industry, and embodies the legacy of PRS while looking back to the golden age of guitar-making. Designed with a vintage aesthetic, this guitar features a bound 22-fret Pattern neck, offering enhanced tone and sustain with a slightly thicker back. The 58/15 LT treble and bass pickups, TCI-tuned for optimal performance, deliver exceptional clarity and focused midrange, allowing for a versatile tonal palette. Equipped with a push/pull tone control and a 3-way toggle pickup switch, the McCarty model offers a flexible range of tones for players.
Anchored by a PRS stoptail bridge with brass studs and vintage-style tuners, this guitar is finely crafted to produce resonant and characterful tones. Paul Reed Smith emphasizes the importance of components that directly impact the guitar's tone, such as the bridge, nut, and tuners, in shaping the instrument's sustain and character. The collaboration between PRS and Ted McCarty has resulted in a line of guitars that exemplify excellence in design and craftsmanship. The McCarty model represents a culmination of knowledge, techniques, and mentorship that has influenced the PRS legacy, making it a timeless and exceptional instrument for players seeking top-tier quality and performance.
