This 2011 PRS MCARTY guitar is virtually unplayed. It looks brand new and plays like a dream. It comes with all the case candy and a paisley artist guitar case.The PRS McCarty model pays homage to a legacy of innovation. As the President of Gibson during a true golden era of guitar building (1950-1966), Ted McCarty was a pioneer of the electric guitar and musical instrument industry. In the late 1980s, Paul Reed Smith called on Ted to consult with him on guitar design and production techniques. He not only served as Pauls mentor but became a great friend of Paul and everyone he met at PRS. In 1994, PRS released the first McCarty, an instrument that incorporated the full spectrum of techniques and knowledge Paul had gained from Ted as well as his own experiences as a guitar builder. It is in honor of Ted McCarty his knowledge, his friendship, and his memory that PRS reintroduces the McCarty model.
