Vintage Tone and Feel. Remarkable Playability.The McCarty family of guitars is born from passion and precision: built passionately to embody vintage appointments and tone while utilizing the precision of PRS’s modern manufacturing techniques. Whether you are looking for rich, authentic humbucking tones or nuanced, sweet single-coil sounds, the McCarty Singlecut 594 can seamlessly master both sonic territories thanks to the 58/15 LT pickups and push/pull coil taps on the tone controls. The electronics layout, a few key specifications, and PRS craftsmanship combine in the McCarty Singlecut 594 to create an instrument that plays in tune, is intonated the entire length of the neck, and feels like a guitar that you’ve been playing forever.The McCarty Singlecut 594 has been meticulously spec’d to deliver a familiar feel and warm, vintage tone, featuring a bound, 22-fret, 24.594” scale length Pattern Vintage neck, a slightly thicker back for enhanced tone and sustain, and 58/15 LT treble and bass pickups, which have been through the TCI (tuned capacitance and inductance) process. 58/15 LT pickups offer exceptional clarity, focused midrange, and vintage character. The McCarty Singlecut 594 model is anchored by a zinc two-piece stoptail bridge with brass saddles and studs for added resonance and vintage-style tuners.“One of my sayings is that everything that touches the string is God – well, that’s really the bridge, the nut, and the tuners. The updates to the McCarty family make a huge difference in their tone. The guitar sustains longer and the tone has more character,” said Paul Reed Smith.In the late 1980’s, Paul Reed Smith called on Ted McCarty to consult with him on guitar design and production techniques. He not only served as a mentor but became a great friend of Paul and everyone he met at PRS. In 1994, PRS released the first McCarty, an instrument that incorporated the full spectrum of techniques and knowledge Paul had gained from Ted as well as his own experiences as a guitar builder.PRS Two-Piece BridgeMade of zinc and brass, this bridge has four contact points and added mass, enhancing the natural tone of the guitar and helping to create a more resonant instrument.PRS Vintage-Style Non-Locking Tuners with Wing ButtonsTraditional closed-back tuners engineered to promote resonance.PRS 58/15 LT Pickups“Low turn” pickups with vintage warm, clear tone.Stock #3297 lbs 2 ozBodyBody Construction SolidbodyTop Wood MapleBack Wood MahoganyTop Carve ViolinNeckNumber of Frets 22Scale Length 24.594”Neck Wood KorinaNeck Construction One-PieceTruss Rod PRS Double-ActingNeck Shape Pattern VintageNeck Depth at the 1/2 Fret 7/8"Neck Depth at the 12 1/2 Fret 63/64"Neck Width at the Nut 1 11/16"Neck Width at the Body 2 1/4"Fretboard Wood Ziricote w/ Faux Bone BindingFretboard Radius 10"Fretboard Inlay BirdsHeadstock Logo Signature, InlaidNeck/Body AssemblyNeck/Body Assembly Type SetFinishFinish Type High-Gloss NitroHardwareBridge PRS Two-PieceTuners PRS Vintage-Style Non-Locking Tuners with Wing ButtonsHardware Type Smoke BlackNut BoneTruss Rod Cover "McCarty"ElectronicsTreble Pickup 58/15 LTBass Pickup 58/15 LTControls Two Volume and Two Push/Pull Tone Controls with 3-Way Toggle Pickup SwitchAdditional InfoStrings PRS Signature 10-46Tuning Standard (6 String): E, A, D, G, B, ECase Hardshell CaseOptions 10 Top
