Paul Reed Smith 40th Anniversary Guitars
40th Anniversary Custom 24 and McCarty Dragon
For the past four decades, PRS have held a unique place in the music industry building visually and sonically striking guitars. To celebrate their rich history, PRS have crafted two unforgettable limited-run anniversary models: the 40th Anniversary Custom 24 and the 40th Anniversary McCarty Dragon!
PRS 40th Anniversary Dragon
Our demo:
Free from the private stock lair and soaring the skies, the McCarty Dragon represents the pinnacle of PRS visual and sonic design. This special 40th anniversary guitar is impeccably crafted with a private stock figured maple top, a mahogany back, and a set of McCarty III pickups, resulting in an axe that is absolutely bursting with robust, vintage-inspired tone. Adorning the fretboard of this masterpiece is the legendary McCarty Dragon inlay, designed by fantasy artist Jeff Easley who drew inspiration from Dungeons and Dragons rulebooks for the design. The Dragon inlay's mesmerizing multi-color design is crafted with over 200 materials including Blue Pacific Opal, Brown Scale Juma, and Gold, Black, White, and Brown Mother of Pearl -- a testament to PRS's dedication to meticulous artistry.

PRS 40th Anniversary Custom 24
Our demo:
The Custom 24 features an artist-grade figured maple top with a retro violin top carve, giving it a layered "woody" look that is both subtle and striking. The tone, however, is anything but subtle, thanks to its duo of PRS DMO pickups. Together, both the DMO treble and bass pickups deliver an exciting array of balanced, articulate tones designed to shine in any genre. Last but certainly not least, the Custom 24 pays homage to PRS's roots with "old-school" bird outline inlays and a pre-factory Eagle headstock logo!
