Description

The original PRS McCarty launched in 1994, inspired by the legendary Ted McCarty who built some of the world’s most iconic guitars in the ’50s and ’60s. He served as a mentor for Paul Reed Smith and helped to form some of the great guitars that PRS are so renowned for today.

This 594 McCarty model features a beautiful McCarty Sunburst finish coupled with upgraded vintage-style ‘Wing’ tuners and vintage-voiced 58/15 Low Turn pickups.

Modified McCarty Construction

The McCarty is well-known for being a bit bigger than a standard PRS, with a thicker back and a fatter, more vintage-inspired neck profile. This altered version of the PRS McCarty 594 is a little bit different, with a new “Pattern Vintage” neck profile that is as wide as PRS’ regular Pattern neck but slightly thicker with an asymmetrical carve. This means that up at the treble side you’ll have less material in the way, while on the bass end you’re provided with a chunkier and more supportive feel.

The modified scale length is actually the biggest change to the neck. Previous McCarty models used more typical PRS scale lengths, such as 25″ or 24.5″. The McCarty 594 is a little bit different at 24.594″ – hence its name. Increasing string tension ever so slightly over the 24.5″ scale for improved note clarity, the McCarty 594 still offers a ’50s single-cut kind of response.

Electronics & hardware

PRS’s 58/15 pickups are a great choice for guitarists who want all of that classic PAF tone, but with a bit extra. In the PRS McCarty 594, there’s a pair of the new LT (“Low Turn”) versions which have fewer pickup winds, resulting in a lower output level better-suited to clean and mid-gain blues/rock styles. The added versatility of push/pull coil taps for each pickup gives you even more tonal options too!

This McCarty 594 model also boasts ‘Wing’ design non-locking tuners; lighter than their metal predecessors, these tuners subtract less energy from the vibrating strings, helping the guitar resonate longer and more musically. Not to mention the extra touch of beautiful detail!

Stuff About Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Stuff About Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Stuff About Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
