The PRS McCarty SC56 captures the essence of a golden era of electric guitar design while delivering the playability and reliability that today’s musicians demand. With a classic PRS single-cutaway body shape and carefully chosen specifications, the McCarty SC56 is both a tribute to tradition and a modern performer’s dream.
PRS Sprayers Choice guitars are limited-run instruments where PRS Guitars painters are given creative freedom to choose unique, non-standard finishes (Custom Colors, ... ) for production models.
In this case the model is already a limited run, and the colors are making it more special, because this is the only one in this color-combination.
Anchored by a maple top and mahogany back, with a 22-fret, 24.594” scale length Pattern Vintage neck, the McCarty SC56 is designed for rich, resonant tone and effortless playability. The 24.594” scale length and slightly thicker back give the McCarty SC56 a warm, woody voice and comfortable feel, while its Phase III non-locking tuners and PRS two-piece bridge anchor the guitar and promote its musical sustain.
The heart of the McCarty SC56 Limited Edition lies in its pickups: a pair of PRS McCarty III pickups, meticulously designed to deliver warm, clear tone with exceptional note separation and dynamics. Controlled by a simple and elegant layout — two volume controls, two tone controls, and a 3-way toggle on the upper bout — the McCarty SC56 keeps the player focused on feel and sound.
With appointments like binding on the fretboard, classic bird inlays, and a vintage-inspired nitrocellulose finish, the McCarty SC56 Limited Edition blends heritage and innovation into a timeless instrument. Whether you’re chasing pure vintage tone or seeking a reliable stage companion, the McCarty SC56 stands ready.
PRS Two-Piece Bridge
Made of zinc and brass, this bridge has four contact points and added mass, enhancing the natural tone of the guitar and helping to create a more resonant instrument.
PRS Phase III Non-Locking Tuners with Wing Buttons
With vintage elegance, these lightweight tuners promote tone transfer for a louder, more resonant instrument.
PRS McCarty III Pickups
Vintage-inspired pickups that bring a vocal clarity to their full, warm tone.
Weight-Relief Design
Single-cutaway guitars are known to be heavier than their double-cutaway counterparts. This design incorporates weight-relief, decreasing the weight of the guitar by about 2/3 of a pound, while maintaining several points of attachment between the guitar top and back to eliminate the “hollow” sound of the cavities and promote tone transfer.
