Product Information

VINTAGE SOUL. MODERN PRECISION.

The 40th Anniversary PRS McCarty SC56 Limited Edition captures the essence of a
golden era of electric guitar design while delivering the playability and reliability
that today’s musicians demand. With a classic PRS single-cutaway body shape and
carefully chosen specifications, the McCarty SC56 is both a tribute to tradition and a
modern performer’s dream.

Anchored by a maple top and mahogany back, with a 22-fret, 24.594” scale length
Pattern Vintage neck, the McCarty SC56 is designed for rich, resonant tone and
effortless playability. The 24.594” scale length and slightly thicker back give the
McCarty SC56 a warm, woody voice and comfortable feel, while its Phase III
non-locking tuners and PRS two-piece bridge anchor the guitar and promote its
musical sustain.

The heart of the 40th Anniversary McCarty SC56 Limited Edition lies in its pickups:
a pair of PRS McCarty III pickups, meticulously designed to deliver warm, clear tone
with exceptional note separation and dynamics. Controlled by a simple and elegant
layout — two volume controls, two tone controls, and a 3-way toggle on the upper
bout — the McCarty SC56 keeps the player focused on feel and sound.

With appointments like binding on the fretboard, classic bird inlays, and a
vintage-inspired nitrocellulose finish, the 40th Anniversary McCarty SC56 Limited
Edition blends heritage and innovation into a timeless instrument. Whether you’re
chasing pure vintage tone or seeking a reliable stage companion, the McCarty SC56
stands ready.

PRS TWO-PIECE

Made of zinc and brass, this bridge has four contact points and added mass, enhancing the natural tone of the guitar and helping to create a more resonant instrument.

PRS PHASE III NON-LOCKING TUNERS WITH WING BUTTONS

With vintage elegance, these lightweight tuners promote tone transfer for a louder, more resonant instrument.

PRS MCCARTY III PICKUPS

Vintage-inspired pickups that bring a vocal clarity to their full, warm tone.

WEIGHT-RELIEF DESIGN

Single-cutaway guitars are known to be heavier than their double-cutaway counterparts. This design incorporates weight-relief, decreasing the weight of the guitar by about 2/3 of a pound, while maintaining several points of attachment between the guitar top and back to eliminate the “hollow” sound of the cavities and promote tone transfer.
