[Used] Paul Reed Smith (PRS) / 2003 McCarty 10Top Rosewood Neck Black Sunburst Wide Fat Neck
A pre-owned "McCarty 10Top" from 2003, featuring a rosewood neck, has arrived!
【McCarty】
The McCarty series is arguably a cornerstone of Paul Reed Smith guitars. Paying homage to Ted McCarty—a legend in the electric guitar world—this model embodies PRS's latest innovations while looking back to the "Golden Age" of guitar making.
【Body, Neck, and Fretboard】
The body features the classic combination of a flame maple top and a mahogany back. Indian rosewood is used for both the neck and the fretboard.
Although there is no "10Top" stamp on the back of the headstock, the MODCAT code inside the control cavity confirms it is a 10Top grade instrument.
【Neck Shape】
It features the "Wide Fat" neck profile. It offers a comfortable grip with just the right amount of thickness, ensuring it doesn't feel difficult to play.
【Pickups】
It is equipped with two "McCarty" pickups designed specifically for this model. Based on the Dragon pickup and utilizing Alnico 4 magnets, they deliver a highly versatile tone that retains a vintage feel while offering plenty of punch and power.
PRS guitars have long been loved by guitarists across various genres. You can expect top-tier performance whether you are playing live, jamming, or recording.
【Condition】
There are signs of use consistent with its age, including a minor chip in the wood at the tip of the headstock, one ding on the back of the body, and various other small scuffs and dings. The strap pins have been replaced (the strap-side attachments are missing).
