Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
Just look at that top! This might be one of the coolest figuring patterns we've seen in a maple top in quite some time! But this guitar isn't just about the looks, it's got the goods too! The 594 Singlecut has a classic feel and design that feels a bit more familiar than PRS's typical double cutaway models. Pair that with a Pattern Vintage neck and these swapped out Seymour Duncan humbuckers and you've got '60s/'70s vibe all night long. The Saturday Night Specials are higher output than your "vintage" coils without going too far into high gain territory, with a bridge pickup that'll send your amp wheeling and a neck pickup voiced for cleaner and clearer rhythm tones it's a truly formidable combo!
SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup
From Paul Reed Smith Guitars
The McCarty family of guitars are 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 now 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.
