The PRS McCarty II is the latest of Paul Reed Smith’s tributes to the great guitar innovator Ted McCarty. This stunning instrument comes standard with a carved figured maple top with a mahogany back body, 25″ scale length, 22-fret mahogany wide-fat neck with rosewood fretboard, moon inlays (new birds optional), PRS Stoptail, vintage style tuners, McCarty II truss rod cover and a new Mastering Voice Control. The Voice Control is fully variable from clean, clear vintage tones to powerful heavy metal sounds. The electronics package also includes new McCarty II Treble and Bass pickups with covers, volume and tone control, 3-way toggle pickup selector and a mini toggle for turning the Voice Control on and off.

Similar in spirit to the double cutaway Mira model, the single cutaway Starla has many vintage themed appointments and is PRS Guitars’ first solidbody electric guitar featuring a standard Bigsby B5 tail piece and a Grover Tune-O-Matic bridge. The guitar also includes exclusive Starla Treble and Bass pickups.
