Product Description
In celebration of PRS’s 40th anniversary we are pleased to offer this extremely limited, Private Stock McCarty Dragon electric guitar in a Burnt Chestnut finish. Only 165 of these jaw-dropping guitars will ever be made!
Designing guitars with Dragon inlays down the neck has been an aspiration of Paul’s since he was a teenager and was something he proudly turned into a reality in 1992 with the release of the PRS Dragon Series. Since then it has become a PRS tradition to celebrate their most prestigious anniversaries with the release of a new Dragon model. Designed by Jeff Easley, a renowned fantasy artist and built in partnership with Aulson Inlays, the 40th anniversary McCarty Dragon pushes the boundaries further than ever before.
The PRS Private Stock McCarty Dragon guitar is not only an artistic masterpiece but also in every way an all-inspiring premium-level electric guitar. Featuring a plethora of premium appointments from its hand-picked wood choices to its thought-over hardware selections all the way to the new McCarty III vintage-inspired humbucking pickups; this guitar plays and sounds as good as it looks and truly has to be seen to be believed!
