USED Paul Reed Smith / McCarty Roseneck 10Top McCarty Tobacco Sunburst [05]

The McCarty 10Top, featuring a full rosewood neck, has arrived!

First and foremost, its greatest appeal lies in its rosewood neck specification—a feature that is extremely rare today, featuring Indian rosewood used for the entire neck. By crafting not only the fingerboard but the neck itself from rosewood, this guitar achieves unique acoustic characteristics distinct from standard mahogany necks, producing rich harmonics, a smooth response, and deep mid-to-low frequencies.In recent years, opportunities to see this specification have greatly diminished due to wood availability and production costs, making it an essential factor in assessing the value of this instrument.

The top features a 10Top made of figured maple with striking flame grain. Combined with the McCarty Tobacco Sunburst finish, it creates a look that fully embodies the luxury and elegance characteristic of PRS.

In terms of sound, the combination of the stop tailpiece and the rosewood neck plays a major role. Since string vibrations are transmitted directly to the body, a solid core is created in the low end, delivering power and presence in single-note playing and a sense of cohesion in chord work. Additionally, rich sustain is achieved the moment the note is struck, allowing you to enjoy a pleasantly lingering resonance in long notes.

The McCarty pickups combine the warmth and transparency reminiscent of vintage PAFs, delivering lustrous harmonics and a three-dimensional quality in clean tones, exquisite grit in crunch, and a sound that balances thickness with clarity when driven. Its versatility, capable of handling a wide range of genres from blues and rock to fusion, is another major appeal.

Weighing approximately 3.63 kg, it’s easy to handle and offers excellent balance whether on stage or in the recording studio. In addition to the superb playability characteristic of PRS, this instrument features a beautiful 10-Top, a rare all-rosewood neck, and a sound that combines powerful low end with rich sustain—making it more than just another McCarty variation; it’s truly a special instrument. With specifications that are hard to come by these days, it’s an attractive guitar that strikes a high level of balance between collectibility and practicality.

Although the metal hardware shows some signs of tarnish, there is virtually no clouding or scratches, and it appears to be in remarkably good condition for its age.
