Four decades of guitar–making mastery culminates in the PRS 40th Anniversary McCarty SC56 Limited Edition, a stunning tribute that marries vintage character with contemporary craftsmanship. This exceptional instrument showcases the classic single–cutaway silhouette that has defined generations of legendary guitars, featuring a maple top paired with mahogany back construction. The nitrocellulose finish adds rich detail and authentic vintage appeal, while the weight–relieved body design ensures optimal resonance without unnecessary bulk.
At the heart of the SC56 lies a carefully calibrated set of PRS McCarty III pickups, engineered to provide vocal clarity, natural warmth, and sophisticated dynamic response. The intuitive control layout features dual volume and tone controls alongside a 3–way upper–bout switch, offering immediate access to a wide palette of tonal possibilities. The 24.594" scale Pattern Vintage neck profile balances comfort with playability, making this guitar suitable for extended playing sessions across multiple musical styles.
Premium appointments throughout the instrument reflect PRS’s attention to detail and commitment to excellence. "Old School" bird inlays grace the bound fretboard, while the rosewood headstock veneer displays the distinctive Pre–Factory Eagle logo. The two–piece bridge works in harmony with Phase III tuners to maximise sustain and tuning stability. With only 400 pieces available worldwide, this 40th Anniversary edition represents a significant milestone for collectors and discerning players seeking an instrument that honours both heritage and innovation.
