PRS McCarty 10-Top - Aurora Borealis

PRS McCarty 10-Top - Aurora Borealis The now infamous McCarty model delivers vintage-inspired tone and feel in PRS’s iconic double-cutaway design. Named in honor of legendary guitar pioneer Ted McCarty, this model blends the warmth and soul of late-’50s instruments with the precision, balance, and reliability that define the PRS Core line. A hand-selected 10-Top carved maple cap showcases exceptional flame and figure, set over a resonant mahogany back for rich sustain and harmonic depth. The double-cut body design not only offers sleek, elegant contours but also provides effortless access to the upper frets, making it as comfortable for soaring leads as it is for articulate rhythm work. Loaded with PRS McCarty humbuckers, the McCarty produces full, vintage-voiced lows, complex mids, and smooth, singing highs. The classic control layout—dual volume and tone controls with a 3-way toggle, keeps tone shaping intuitive, while push/pull coil-splitting expands the palette with bright, dynamic single-coil textures. The Pattern Vintage neck carve delivers a slightly fuller, comfortable grip that feels substantial without sacrificing playability. Paired with a rosewood fretboard and PRS’s signature bird inlays, the instrument feels both luxurious and inspiring in hand. A PRS straight stoptail bridge maximizes resonance and tuning stability for consistent performance on stage or in the studio. Elegant, expressive, and incredibly versatile, this guitar captures the character of classic electric guitars while offering the modern refinement that today’s players demand.
