From the heart of the PRS Private Stock vault comes this stunning 2010 McCarty, Private Stock #2650 / Serial #160064. Built with meticulous attention to detail, this one delivers both visual drama and sonic punch. The top is a vividly quilted Maple cap, set against a solid Mahogany back for warmth and sustain. The neck is carved from gorgeously Figured Mahogany in PRS’s comfortable Wide-Fat profile—substantial without being bulky—and features an Ebony fretboard and headstock veneer with signature bird inlays.
Under the hood, a pair of PRS 59/09 pickups give you classic PAF-inspired tones with modern refinement: smooth mids, articulate highs, and just the right amount of heat. Paired with the PRS tremolo bridge and gold hardware throughout, this McCarty balances elegance with edge. Finished in a rich Tiger Eye Smoked Burst nitrocellulose lacquer, it’s got stage presence to spare.
If you’re looking for a Private Stock PRS that leans vintage in feel but thrives in any modern setting, this McCarty is a standout example of what makes PRS guitars so consistently revered.
