The PRS McCarty 594: “Vintage Heart, Modern Voice”
Heritage and Design
The 2017 PRS McCarty 594 is one of PRS’s most revered models, marrying classic aesthetics with modern playability. The McCarty 594 carries a shorter 24.594 inch scale (hence the “594”) and a slightly thicker mahogany back to deliver a warm, singing tone with excellent sustain. Its bound 10 Top maple with its distinctive violin carve emphasizes both beauty and tonal clarity.
Tone, Pickups & Electronics
This instrument is equipped with 58/15 LT pickups (treble and bass) with coil-tap capability via the push/pull tone controls, giving you a broad palette from rich humbucker tone to sparkly single coil textures. The controls are laid out as two volumes and two push/pull tone knobs, along with a 3 way toggle pickup selector on the upper bout for intuitive access.
Condition and Wear
This instrument shows very light surface and play wear on the top, and very light surface wear around the sides and back. All wear is cosmetic and superficial-there are no major dings, cracks, or structural issues. The guitar remains fully playable and stable.
