Background
The McCarty model was introduced in 1994 to honour PRS co-founder Ted McCarty, a former Gibson president. The Soapbar variant replaced humbuckers with P-90s, offering a more vintage-voiced alternative. The Wide-Fat neck and thick mahogany back are signature features of this model. Core-series PRS guitars are considered the company's flagship production line.
