PRS McCarty SC56 GB 10 review

The PRS McCarty SC56 GB 10 is a U.S.-made, single-cut electric guitar listed at 4,222. It has a mahogany body with weight relief, a maple top, and a set-in mahogany neck. The listing identifies it as model SC594, while the product name uses SC56. That naming difference is worth noting when checking a retailer's listing or confirming the instrument's identity.

This is a limited edition in Gray Black, with a 10 Top designation. The finish and top designation are part of the supplied product details, but the listing does not describe the individual top's grain or provide photographs of a specific instrument. Buyers should inspect the actual guitar if the appearance of its maple top is a deciding factor.

Body, neck, and fingerboard

The body combines mahogany and maple, while the neck is mahogany and joins the body with a set-in construction. Weight relief is specified, but no instrument weight or description of the relief method is provided. As a result, the feature can be confirmed from the listing, but its effect on the weight or balance of an individual guitar cannot be assessed from these details alone.

The rosewood fingerboard has 22 frets, Old School Birds inlays, and a 254 mm (10-inch) radius. PRS gives the Pattern Vintage neck profile as 22 mm thick at the first fret and 25 mm at the 12th. Those measurements describe a neck that increases in thickness along its length. They offer more concrete information than the profile name alone, though they do not establish how the neck will feel to a particular player.

Binding is listed on both the neck and the body's top. The nut is made from bone and measures 42.9 mm (1.69 inches) wide. The 625 mm (24.6-inch) scale is shorter than a 25.5-inch scale, a useful specification to consider when comparing this guitar with instruments of different scale lengths. The available information does not give string gauge, factory setup, or action measurements.

Pickups, controls, and bridge

The pickup configuration is HH, with one PRS McCarty III Treble humbucker in the bridge position and one PRS McCarty III Bass humbucker in the neck position. The guitar has two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way toggle switch. This layout provides separate volume and tone adjustment for each pickup, with the toggle selecting between the two pickups and their combined position. The listing does not specify potentiometer values, capacitor values, or coil-splitting options, so those should not be assumed.

A PRS two-piece bridge is fitted, and the instrument has no tremolo. That makes the bridge specification straightforward for players looking for a fixed-bridge design. The supplied details do not identify the bridge's adjustment range or provide setup measurements. Nickel hardware and PRS Phase III non-locking tuning machines complete the listed hardware. Because the tuners are described as non-locking, this model should not be mistaken for a version with locking machines.

Included items and buying details

The package includes a case and a certificate. A gig bag is not included. The sales unit is one guitar, and the item number is 632810. The product is listed as available since December 2025. These details help distinguish the special Gray Black edition and identify the specific listing when contacting a dealer.

No customer reviews are available for this product. This assessment therefore relies only on the supplied specifications, rather than reported ownership experiences or hands-on testing. In particular, the listing provides no measured weight, setup information, tonal demonstrations, or individual feedback on the neck and pickups.

Technical assessment

The documented specification describes a fixed-bridge, single-cut guitar with a mahogany body, maple top, set-in mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and two humbuckers. Its 24.6-inch scale, 10-inch fingerboard radius, and measured Pattern Vintage neck profile give prospective buyers practical comparison points. The two volume and two tone controls offer independent adjustment for each pickup, while the three-way switch keeps pickup selection conventional.

Before purchasing, confirm the exact model designation with the seller, since the product name and listed model do not match. It is also sensible to verify the instrument's weight, inspect the specific top, and ask about its setup. Those details are not supplied here. The listed features establish what the PRS McCarty SC56 GB 10 includes, but individual comfort, sound, and value depend on the player and the specific instrument.
