A Private Stock Ted McCarty DC245 Like No Other!

This PRS Private Stock DC245 takes the Ted McCarty double cutaway model to a whole new level of artistry, with a one-of-a-kind electric guitar that any collector or lifelong player will love. One look at this Private Stock DC245, and there's no doubt that this is one special guitar. Every piece of wood use in this Private Stock DC245 has been hand selected, and it's appointments are second to none. What's more, PRS also equipped it with their solidbody Piezo system electronics. If you want an instrument that looks, feels, and sounds absolutely amazing, then this PRS Private Stock DC245 was made for you.

PRS Private Stock DC245 Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • One-of-a-kind PRS Private Stock series tonewoods and appointments
  • Supple 24.5"-scale neck with wide fat carve feels and plays like a dream
  • Hybrid pickup system combines 59/09 humbuckers with piezo acoustics

One-of-a-kind PRS Private Stock series tonewoods and appointments
You don't often come across guitars that are as truly one of a kind as this Private Stock DC245. That's because every piece of wood PRS's custom shop used to build this instrument was hand selected, both for its visible beauty and for its unique tonal character. Add to that hand-inlayed birds (including a Private Stock eagle inlay) and gold hardware, and this Private Stock DC245 is clearly in a class of its own.

Supple 24.5"-scale neck with wide fat carve feels and plays like a dream
In a way, the PRS Private Stock DC245 solidbody electric guitar takes you back to the early innovation of the celebrated guitar maker, Ted McCarty, by giving you the comfortable and malleable feel of a slightly shorter scale neck with a fatter carve. If you prefer the easier tension and slightly more substantial feel of a traditional rock guitar, then you're going to feel right at home when you play this Private Stock DC245.

Hybrid pickup system combines 59/09 humbuckers with piezo acoustics
Another thing you can't help but love about this unique PRS custom guitar is its extended tonal range. That's because PRS equipped the Private Stock DC245 with a piezo body pickup, in addition to its duo of 59/09 humbuckers. This extra acoustic pickup lets you blend in a woodier ambiance with brighter bite of the Private Stock DC245's 59/09 sound, giving you access to a delightfully wide range of fun and useful tones.

PRS Private Stock DC245 Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • A singular version of PRS's Ted McCarty DC245 solidbody electric guitar
  • Both a fantastic collector's piece and an amazingly diverse electric guitar you'll love to play
  • Made from hand-selected Private Stock tonewoods, including a beautiful quilted maple top and figured mahogany
  • 24.5"-scale Wide Fat neck feels incredibly comfortable and provides you with wonderfully smooth action
  • PRS's 59/09 humbucking pickups gives excellent bite and exceptional low-end growl
  • Piezo body pickup lets you bled naturally woody acoustic overtones into your sound
  • Gold hardware and special hand-inlaid birds and eagle add unrivaled touches of class to this amazing guitar

This one-of-a-kind PRS Private Stock DC245 solidbody electric guitar looks, sounds, and plays like no other!

Recommended Accessories

Only spent 10 bucks on my first purchase, but you treated me as if was spending a grand. Being an independent business owner, I know all to well the importance of dedicated customer service which is the best way to win over the corporate chains. Tootsie Rolls always win me over too. I'm sure some much bigger purchases are in our future.
