PRS McCarty SC56 SC

PRS McCarty SC56 SC: technical overview

The PRS McCarty SC56 SC is a U.S.-made, single-cut electric guitar listed at 3799. The supplied specifications do not identify a currency, so that figure should be treated as the listed price rather than a confirmed dollar amount. The product has been available since December 2025, and its item number is 632782.

Its construction centers on a mahogany body with weight relief and a maple top. A set-in mahogany neck carries a rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets, and Old School Birds inlays. The listed model designation is SC594, while the product name is McCarty SC56 SC. Those labels are both included in the supplied data, with no further explanation of how they relate.

Body, neck, and dimensions

The weight-reduced body is intended to reduce mass compared with a solid, non-relieved body, although no finished instrument weight is provided. That omission matters to buyers comparing guitars by weight, since the specification does not support a reliable estimate. The body and maple top have binding, as does the neck.

The neck uses PRS's Pattern Vintage profile. Its thickness is specified as 22 mm at the first fret and 25 mm at the twelfth fret. These measurements describe the neck's depth at two points, but they do not fully communicate how the profile will feel in a player's hand. The supplied information gives no additional contour measurements.

The rosewood fingerboard has a 254 mm radius, equivalent to 10 inches. Scale length is 625 mm, or 24.6 inches, and nut width is 42.9 mm, or 1.69 inches. The nut is bone. Together, those figures provide a useful basis for comparing the instrument with other guitars, while leaving details such as string gauge and factory setup unspecified.

Pickups and controls

The pickup layout is HH, with one PRS McCarty III Treble humbucker in the bridge position and one McCarty III Bass humbucker at the neck. The control set consists of two volume knobs, two tone knobs, and a three-way toggle switch. The specifications identify the pickup models and control arrangement, but provide no electrical values, coil-splitting options, or switching diagrams. No alternate pickup modes should be assumed from the information available.

There is no tremolo system. The guitar instead uses a PRS two-piece bridge, paired with PRS Phase III non-locking tuners. The hardware is nickel. This is a straightforward fixed-bridge specification, with no stated locking function at the tuners and no vibrato arm included in the listed details.

Finish, included case, and specification notes

The color information needs clarification before purchase. The general product data lists Gold Sparkle, while the detailed specification calls the finish Sprayers Choice and describes the instrument as a limited edition in that special color. Both names appear in the supplied information, but it does not explain whether Gold Sparkle is a description of Sprayers Choice or a separate catalog label. A buyer should confirm the exact finish with the seller.

A case is included. No gig bag is included, and the data does not identify the case type or provide details about its interior or construction. The sales unit is one piece. The guitar is made in the USA.

What the specifications establish

The supplied data supports a clear description of the instrument's materials, measurements, electronics layout, and included case. It does not provide an instrument weight, setup measurements, string specifications, or information about the case itself. There are also no customer reviews available for this product, so there is no basis here for reporting owner impressions, long-term reliability, or claims about how it sounds or feels in use.

On paper, the defining details are its weight-relieved mahogany body, maple top, set-in mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and pair of McCarty III humbuckers. The fixed two-piece bridge and four-knob control layout are also plainly specified. The product name, model label, and two finish names do not align neatly in the listing, so those points deserve verification before placing an order. At the listed price of 3799, confirming the exact model and finish is especially sensible.
