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.

Also NEW to this model - modern weight relief of the body, accounting for approximately 3/4lb in weight saving over the legacy McCarty 594 SC model.

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 40th Anniversary McCarty SC56 – Available in 3 finishes, this is a 400 Piece Limited Edition model with only 6 of each color available in Canada.
