PRS McCarty SC56 | McCarty Sunburst

Built with extreme precision and using timbers of the highest quality, PRS Guitars have a justified reputation in the music industry as being one of the best guitar manufacturers on the planet. They utilise decades of experience to craft guitars that draw inspiration from vintage guitars, but with all the perks of modern production techniques, combined with materials of the finest order.

The SC56 is just that, a guitar that feels familiar but is new in all the right ways. A weight-relieved Mahogany single-cut body supports a carved Flame Maple top to make for an extremely elegant and classy look, finished in nitrocellulose. This, combined with a Pattern Vintage shaped Mahogany neck, makes for a vintage-inspired feel but retaining the classic hallmarks of a PRS - such as the Birds inlays on the Rosewood fingerboard. A 10" fretboard radius, 24.594" scale length and 22 frets provide a comfortable and slick playing experience, allowing for smooth bends and vibrato all over the fingerboard.

Phase III non-locking tuners with wing buttons continue this elegant vintage design, combining with a two-piece bridge to provide optimal tuning stability.

Powered by a pair of McCarty III pickups, these are designed  to deliver warm, clear tone with exceptional note separation and dynamics, capturing the essence of vintage humbuckers. A simple configuration of two volume controls and two tone controls with a 3-way pickup selector switch, this seemingly simply layout offers a complex variety of tonal possibilities from warm jazz tones all the way to meaty rock riffs packed full of grunt.

An ideal guitar for players who draw inspiration from iconic vintage-style guitars but want something built to the highest possible standards, designed to perform reliably time and time again.
