The McCarty masterpieces
A defined legacy. The McCarty series is dedicated to Ted McCarty, one of the pioneers of electric guitars. PRS have made these guitars the centrepieces of their innovations in homage to McCarty's own knack for innovation. They boast some of the finest features and best playability around - and they play to perfection. With the SE in the McCarty series, PRS have innovated once again to bring you a stunning collection of premium guitars.
Refined humbucker
They work hard. Delivering clear, punchy, and articulate tones, the 58/15 S humbuckers will take your sound where it needs to go. Offering plenty of output but being well-balanced tonally, they'll project your riffs with pristine clarity, whether you're using lots of gain or none at all. You'll be unlocking heaps of sonic potential through these pickups.
The bridge pickup has the classic, high output humbucker voicing with more than enough bite and growl mixed with warmth and balance. It'll make chords ring out like bells and give riffs an unrivalled definition. Then there's the neck pickup. Perfect for playing wailing lead lines and thickening chords up, it has a majestic voicing of its own. Together, these pickups will raise your riffs to the sky.
A world of sonic potential
Still not impressed? Well, let's delve into the SE's coil-splitting function. Fluctuate between snappy single-coil tones and hot, humbucking character with the simple flick of a switch. By splitting the humbucker coils, players are able to explore the SE's sonic variety so they can truly sculpt their sound the way they want. And, with a 3-toggle switch, volume, and tone controls implemented for good measure, you have total control of your PRS' unique voice. It's yours to discover.
Play without limits
Ultimately, a guitar should spark creativity - not restrict it. Which is why every aspect of the SE McCarty is constructed with playability in mind. Experience easy transitions across the entirety of the fingerboard thanks to an ultra-smooth rosewood surface. It's combined with a sleek mahogany neck that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, entailing endless hours of comfortable practice and performance. Enjoy effortless access to the upper frets with an ergonomic single-cutaway body design. So, whether you're shredding up high or unleashing fat, low-end riffs - the SE offers a feel that's tailored to the player.
True individual style
It demands audience attention. With a finish so eye-catching and unique, how could it not? A mahogany body provides a breathtaking aesthetic, showcasing the SE's sumptuous grain pattern. But its elegant design isn't just limited to the body. The iconic PRS bird inlays dance across the silky-smooth fingerboard for even more individual flair. Topped off with a striking finish, the SE simply radiates one-of-a-kind style. So, whether you're rehearsing or playing live - it's all eyes on you.
