Sound

The 24.594" / 625 mm scale length offers comfortable string tension, ideal for fluid bends and precise attacks. The PRS McCarty III pickups stand out with organic clarity, excellent note separation, and nuanced dynamic response. Dual volume and tone controls, combined with the 3-position selector, allow fine-tuning of the tone from woody clean to meaty drive, always remaining clear in the mix. The two-piece PRS bridge enhances intonation and tuning stability, serving effortless expressiveness.
