PRS McCarty LT humbucking pickups
The PRS Private Stock #11622 McCarty Semi-Hollow’s McCarty LT pickups balance vintage character with modern clarity to deliver the sweet yet articulate sound and rich harmonic overtones of vintage humbuckers. Beyond that, the lower wire turns of McCarty LT pickups dish out clarity and nuance by the truckload. Featuring a meaty bridge pickup and neck pickup with the perfect amount of brightness, the McCarty LT set packs a real sonic punch, from chiming cleans to scorching leads. You also get a 3-way switch and a push-pull tone knob that give rise to ear-grabbing pickup combinations. Guitarists at Sweetwater love these pickups. You will, too.
Comfortable Pattern neck profile
The Private Stock #11622 is spec’d with PRS’s Pattern neck profile. A hallmark of PRS quality, neck shapes are, of course, critical to your playing experience. Perfected after years of prototyping, the Pattern profile is an updated PRS Wide Fat neck style based on neck shapes Paul Reed Smith designed in the 1970s and ‘80s for Carlos Santana, Peter Frampton, and Howard Leese of Heart. Fast and comfortable, the Pattern profile always feels just right. In reality, most electric guitarists employ a combination of thumb-over and thumb-behind fretting-hand positions in their playing, and the Pattern profile lets you switch seamlessly between the two.
