The McCarty | PRS Guitars

Named after Ted McCarty, a pioneer of the electric guitar and musical instrument industry, the McCarty model embodies the most up-to-date findings from PRS and looks back to the golden age of the guitar. This vintage-appointed guitar features a bound, 22-fret Pattern neck, a slightly thicker back for enhanced tone and sustain, and 58/15 LT treble and bass pickups, which have now been through the TCI (tuned capacitance and inductance) process. 58/15 LT’s are a vintage style pickup with exceptional clarity and focused midrange. Paired with a push/pull tone control and a 3-way toggle pickup switch, these pickups provide a complete palette of tones. The McCarty model is anchored by a PRS stoptail bridge with brass studs for added resonance and vintage-style tuners.

My favorite guitar intro of all PRS demo videos...

I still listen to this after all this time, perfect guitar, and that acoustic sound quality at 8:00 is amazing

Man I love this guitar. Just played one for the first time yesterday...one of the best guitars I have ever had my hands on.

That is the first time I heard a coil split and went “I want that.” No tone out of that fiddle sounded contrived. I was thinking about a silver sky, maybe now a McCarty instead!!! Well done, Bryan

Brian, you’re seriously the best guitar demo guy on YouTube!

PRS are cooking at the moment.. Annoying how they seem to get better every year. Makes me want the new one every year.

My friend in high school circa 2002/3 had a McCarty and i was so envious. The best guitar I ever played and I still can't afford one, lol. It was so beautiful.

Nice to see the original McCarty back in the catalogue. I absolutely love my '97 McCarty and it has been my main instrument for many years now. I always thought that the modernization of the later versions was not good for the vintage vibe of the McCarty model (still great instruments though!).

Just listen to the rich quality of sound Brian coaxes from that lovely instrument.

That's the model! I got a 2006 with soap bars. One of my favourite guitars. Good work on the return

Great player, amazing guitar, big sound...

[ysmth]

Gosh yes. Beautiful sounds. And well, supreme playing...

Love my 2006 McCarty. The stop tail is perfect. Makes it to every gig...all i need. Oh..and you play your ass off! Nice. ♫

[Waterinmenbenen]

That outro tune hit me right in the feels. Brian, what an amazingly tasty player you are! Stunning guitar as usual.

I've always admired PRS guitars but for some reason never really wanted one. These new McCarty's are changing things for me... beautiful sounding (and looking) guitars.

Still waiting for next years 20/20 pickups. Should be super clear

[ERMAV]

That is a gorgeous piece of wood with strings on it

[mattryan]

You make that beautiful guitar sing. Great introduction I have been thinking about getting a PRS for a long time.b

My 2002 McCarty is a great guitar. The neck is stable and true. Always stays in tune. Very versatile in the studio. Mine is green with a 10 top. It's purty too.

Awesome PRS guitar, I love to watch it again and again
