PRS McCarty 57-08 10-Top Purple Hazel Quilt (2008)

If you want a PRS with a special look and perfect player characteristics, this McCarty is the best possible deal! Wonderfully grained 10-top in the most beautiful “Purple Hazel Quilted” finish and a haptically unique rosewood fingerboard with the characteristic bird inlays, on which you can really whizz thanks to the super comfortable “Wide Fat” profile. But what is particularly noticeable here is the awesome sound of this Rock grenade! When played dry, the two 57/08 humbuckers on the amp reveal the full sound potential of this PRS with above-average volume and resonance. Smacky Rock sounds with lots of mids, yet transparent and differentiated if you leave out the distortion. Incredibly pushing sound that is made for screaming solos and biting riffs due to the tonal substance of this Rock axe. In addition, you can enjoy pearly singlecoil sounds at any time as soon as you split the humbuckers with the push/pull tone knob. This tonal power is mainly due to the fact that the 57/08 humbuckers used were wound with the original wire from 1957. After surprisingly remaining stocks of this wire turned up, Paul Reed Smith acquired the available stock and used it exclusively in the production of the 57/08 pickups. The guitar sings, has wonderful overtones, the tone stands and stands... You really couldn't ask for more in terms of sound, playability and look! So it's certainly not surprising that this gem has been played a lot over the years, which has resulted in a few signs of wear. Otherwise the guitar is in very good condition, including the frets, which show only minimal signs of wear.
