McCarty III Humbucker
For a timeless sound, two McCarty III humbuckers developed by PRS were installed in the neck and bridge positions. The pickups are known for their versatile sound and convey a warm vintage sound reminiscent of classic PAF pickups. Alnico magnets contribute to the characteristic sound profile, while dynamic clean sounds or transparent overdrive riffs are optimally processed and the natural sound character of the instrument is nevertheless retained. Furthermore, a 3-way switch is used to control the pickups, while the obligatory volume and tone controls are available for volume control and sound coloration.
The 40th Anniversary Dragon Design logo of the truss rod cover fits perfectly to the fingerboard inlay!
High quality PRS hardware
The PRS stoptail bridge with brass inserts ensures a robust lateral position and clean intonation, while enabling long-lasting use. The .010 - .046 strings reach the PRS Phase III non-locking tuners via the bone nut, which ensure reliable tuning. On top of that, the nickel pickup covers visually match the bridge and tuners, while the 40th Anniversary Dragon Design logo on the truss rod cover perfectly complements the fretboard inlay!
