An Anniversary McCarty at the Heart of the PRS Lineup

Created to mark the brand's anniversary, the McCarty SC56 Limited Edition follows PRS's tradition of paying tribute to the great singlecuts of the 1950s while pushing modern precision. Iconic aesthetics, meticulous finishes, and selection of premium tonewoods make it a collectible piece designed for both stage and studio.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

Designed for intermediate to expert guitarists, the SC56 shines in blues, rock, classic rock, pop, and modern jazz. Its playing comfort, PRS short scale, and dynamic response make it an ideal companion for driving rhythms as well as expressive solos.

Sound

The mahogany/maple combination delivers singing mids, full lows, and silky highs, with generous sustain. The McCarty III pickups offer a PAF-inspired voice: muscular and precise bridge pickup for rock, airy middle position for open tunings and arpeggios, and velvety, rich neck pickup for blues/jazz lines. The simple and effective wiring (2 volumes, 2 tones, 3-position selector located on the upper bout) allows you to sculpt the tone without losing definition.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

A set of 10-46 electric guitar strings (original setup) to preserve tension balance and intonation. Any standard two-strap button electric guitar strap will fit perfectly.
