Key Features
The PRS McCarty 594 oozes excellence. It takes us back to the original model released in the '90s, a true demonstration of PRS' expertise. But along with components such as vintage-style tuners and a two-piece bridge, this updated model incorporates some innovative features that improve the guitar's tone tremendously. The 58/15 LT pickups not only allow you to deliver a completely astounding sound that’s full of bite, articulation, and raw power, but they also project sublime consistency across the whole frequency range.
As well as offering incredible sound, the PRS McCarty has been crafted from a combination of tonewoods that provide immense sturdiness and durability and enhance playability. With magnificent robustness, the mahogany body can endure your aggressive playing and thrashing about on stage and it will thrive. A ravishing rosewood fretboard then enables you to slide skilfully at speed across the frets in effortless fashion. The PRS McCarty promises a breath-taking experience.

For a tone that is nothing short of thrilling, you need powerful pickups. Equipped with 58/15 LT pickups, the McCarty 594 does not disappoint. Explore the possibilities of both rich and warm humbucking sounds as well as punchy single coil tones. They offer bite, definition, and an abundance of dynamics, making for a truly exhilarating performance. But PRS have gone one step further. Such astounding pickups have been constructed through the innovative TCI process. TCI, or 'tuning capacitance and inductance', ensures every single note is projected with refined tuning, giving you a consistent sound amongst the bass and treble notes.
When you're delivering such a decimating tone, it is important that you have the freedom to sculpt it with your virtuosic skill. Featuring two volume controls and two push/pull controls, this guitar allows you to finetune each pickup for a wonderfully distinctive sound. The push/pull feature of the tone controls is extremely enticing as it lets you choose either a glorious humbucking tone or a richer, slightly more crunchy single coil. The 3-way selector switch then lets you use either or both pickups in a way that won't interrupt your playing.
A maple construction that oozes excellence in every way… the top of this guitar really does take centre stage. '10 Top' refers to hand-selected maple tops that are used on some PRS' finest and most esteemed instruments. These pieces of wood are rare, perfectly figured, and are absent of 'dead spots'. The result? An extremely high-quality build that showcases dazzling attributes both tonally and visually. Captivate your audience as you walk on stage armed with this guitar and then completely mesmerise them as you exude brilliant sound. Maple releases every single note with sparkling clarity and fantastic dynamics, articulating both chords and fingerpicking styles alike. Its sonic brightness is astounding and teams perfectly with the warmth of the mahogany back and sides. Whatever your style, you will be granted a fantastically balanced tone that encompasses an abundance of versatility.
Unleash your potential across 22 exquisite frets. Showcasing a pattern vintage shape, the neck is superbly comfortable to hold and will fit snugly in your grip. The fretboard then holds immense wonder too. The entire length of it is intonated, so you know every single note will ring out absolutely perfectly and will sound precisely in tune, whilst its rosewood construction allows you to fret without inhibition. You will never be slowed down or hindered. Rosewood's divine, smooth finish begs your crazy-fast and skilful technique and it will ensure you sound amazing. Lacing your sound with clarity and brightness, this tonewood is ideal for versatile tones thanks to its even response across the whole frequency range. And it is exceptionally durable, so it can take any ferocious attack of your fretting without wearing away.
