Limited Edition - one of 150 worldwide
Even standard version of Paul Reed Smith guitars are extremely sought after and increase in value over time - but this beauty is a rare treasure. One of only 150 worldwide (and that includes all of the various color combinations in that number), the PRS McCarty 1957/2008 LTD is a highly collectible instrument.

Premium design and choice tonewoods, including a quilted maple 10-top
The PRS McCarty 1957/2008 LTD features nothing but the best in PRS design elements. To start, there's a quilted maple 10-top - 10-top distinguishing it as having one of the finest figures - with a stunning finish. For smooth-playing, a 22-fret Peruvian Mahogany neck features a wide-fat carve, and a rosewood fingerboard and beautiful J bird inlays with a Paua rim add to this instruments gorgeous appearance.

Special 1957/2008 humbuckers
The 1957/2008 pickups offered standard on the McCarty 1957/2008 LTD allow players to achieve both vintage and modern sounds. PRS obtained exclusive rights to the original pickup wire used in the most revered pickups in the '50s. PRS obtained the rights to the wire in 2008, and 1957 was the year the humbucker was first commercially available, giving rise to the 1957/2008 name.

Stunning Finish
Featuring the most advanced finishing technology, PRS has developed fat, ultra-high gloss finishes and rich stains that exquisitely highlight the color and grain of the woods while retaining the fast, smooth feel of vintage lacquer. Because color is an important component in any guitar's appearance, PRS dyes are specially blended to look their very best under stage lights, shining with such luster and brilliance that the guitar truly looks every bit as good as it sounds.
