{"product_id":"prs-mccarty-mccarty-tobacco-sunburst","title":"PRS McCarty, McCarty Tobacco Sunburst","description":"A Legacy of Innovation\u003cbr\u003eNamed 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 and a slightly thicker back for enhanced tone and sustain. The McCarty model is anchored by a PRS Stoptail bridge with brass inserts for added resonance and vintage-style tuners. The PRS McCarty is outfitted with McCarty LT treble and bass pickups. These vintage-style pickups exhibit 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the late 1980’s, Paul Reed Smith called on Ted McCarty to consult with him on guitar design and production techniques. He not only served as a mentor but became a great friend of Paul and everyone he met at PRS. In 1994, PRS released the first McCarty, an instrument that incorporated the full spectrum of techniques and knowledge Paul had gained from Ted as well as his own experiences as a guitar builder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“One of my sayings is that everything that touches the string is God – well, that’s really the bridge, the nut, and the tuners. So when we went after the McCarty model, that’s where we looked. These updates make a huge difference in the tone. The guitar sustains longer and the tone has more character,” said Paul Reed Smith. “The puzzle pieces all fit together, and there is no compromise to the integrity of the instrument.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor 2024, PRS Guitars is updating the tuning machines on many of our Core guitars. While, aesthetically, our new Wing buttons are designed to echo the 12th fret bird wingspan design, they were first and foremost designed for tonal reasons all the way back in 1982. Because these buttons are lighter weight than their metal predecessors, they are subtracting less energy from the vibrating strings, thus helping the guitar ring longer and at a more musical note. The removal of the tuner’s locking feature on non-tremolo-equipped guitars further decreases their weight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003eBody Construction: Solidbody\u003cbr\u003eTop Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003eBack Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eTop Carve: Violin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets: 22\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25\"\u003cbr\u003eNeck Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eNeck Construction: One-Piece\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: PRS Double-Acting\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: Pattern\u003cbr\u003eNeck Depth At The 1\/2 Fret: 7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eNeck Depth At The 12 1\/2 Fret: 61\/64\"\u003cbr\u003eNeck Width At The Nut: 1 11\/16\"\u003cbr\u003eNeck Width At The Body: 2 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eFretboard Wood: Rosewood With Faux Bone Binding\u003cbr\u003eFretboard Radius: 10\"\u003cbr\u003eFretboard Inlay: Birds\u003cbr\u003eHeadstock Logo: Signature, Inlaid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck\/Body Assembly\u003cbr\u003eNeck\/Body Assembly Type: Set\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinish\u003cbr\u003eFinish Type: High-Gloss Nitro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardware\u003cbr\u003eBridge: PRS Stoptail With Brass Inserts\u003cbr\u003eTuners: PRS Vintage-Style Non-Locking Tuners With Wing Buttons\u003cbr\u003eHardware Type: Nickel\u003cbr\u003eNut: Bone\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod Cover: \"McCarty\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElectronics\u003cbr\u003eTreble Pickup: McCarty LT\u003cbr\u003eBass Pickup: McCarty LT\u003cbr\u003eControls: Volume And Push\/Pull Tone Control With 3-Way Toggle Pickup Switch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditional Info\u003cbr\u003eStrings: PRS Signature 10-46\u003cbr\u003eTuning: Standard (6 String): E, A, D, G, B, E\u003cbr\u003eCase: Hardshell Case\u003cbr\u003eOptions: 10 Top With Hybrid Hardware","brand":"PRS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53028922818869,"sku":"825362166801","price":6640.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/5384\/5301\/files\/McCarty-McCarty-Tobacco-Sunburst_0f9c21ce-09b4-49f7-b7ec-a1aaea7292d3.jpg?v=1782399122","url":"https:\/\/musiquediplomate.com\/products\/prs-mccarty-mccarty-tobacco-sunburst","provider":"Centre de Musique Diplomate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
