About the Guitar
Red Tiger 10 Top. The Red Tiger finish brings out the alternating light and dark figure in the flame maple. The natural mahogany back contrasts with the top when the guitar is turned over.
Stained Flame Maple neck. A standard McCarty has a mahogany neck, so the maple neck is the biggest change here and alters part of the usual tonewood recipe. Staining it to match the top carries the figure the length of the neck.
Bound Ziricote fretboard. Ziricote’s dark color and grain contrast with the stained maple, and the binding gives the board a clean edge.
Inlays. Outline Old School Birds with Sparkle Mother-of-Pearl outlines and Pink Heart centers, set against the dark Ziricote.
McCarty III pickups. They favor clarity, dynamics and vintage-inspired character over raw output, so you hear the guitar itself. They cover clean tones, edge-of-breakup rhythm and overdriven leads.
408 switching. The 3-way toggle is joined by two mini-toggles that give independent control over each pickup. These work alongside the volume and push-pull tone controls to widen the range of pickup combinations.
Neck and tremolo. The Pattern profile has a substantial feel, with a 25" scale and 22 frets. The Gen III tremolo handles everything from subtle chord movement and vibrato to larger pitch effects, with smooth feel and good tuning stability.
Hybrid hardware. The nickel and gold hardware adds contrast against the Red Tiger top.
Made in Maryland. Built by PRS in Stevensville, Maryland, USA. Wood Library lets select PRS dealers specify their own combinations of woods, colors and appointments within the Maryland-built line.
