Vintage Heritage, Modern PRS Performance
The Paul Reed Smith McCarty 594 10-Top is one of PRS’s most iconic models, seamlessly blending vintage guitar craftsmanship with modern innovation. This guitar features a traditional mahogany body, providing a warm, resonant base tone that is elevated by the crisp, three-dimensional clarity of its maple top. The dual 58/15 LT pickups capture the low-output charm of a late ’50s humbucker, enhanced by the TCI process for near-single-coil clarity. The chunky mahogany Pattern Vintage neck profile, paired with a 10-inch radius rosewood fingerboard, ensures effortless playability across the neck. Combined with the PRS 2-piece bridge and vintage-style tuners, the McCarty 594 stands as proof of PRS’s ongoing commitment to superior guitar building in Stevensville, Maryland. This guitar is essentially new, showing no signs of wear and is in mint condition.
Time-Tested Tonewood Combination
The McCarty 594 showcases PRS’s dedication to superior tonewoods, a philosophy that spans from their Private Stock custom creations to their SE line. This model features a classic maple-topped mahogany body, a combination that dates back to the early ’50s. The mahogany core adds depth and warmth to your notes, while the maple top provides an articulate edge, allowing single-note lines and rhythm work to cut through any band setting. This powerful tonewood duo is a hallmark of PRS guitars.
Chunky Pattern Vintage Neck Profile
The Pattern Vintage neck profile of the McCarty 594 is distinctly chunky, with an asymmetrical shape that conforms comfortably to your hand. Despite its thickness, it is favored for its full feel and is complemented by a slightly shorter 24.594-inch scale length, adding to its vintage appeal. This neck profile is perfect for vintage guitar enthusiasts seeking an old-school playing experience.
Dual-Coil Power, Single-Coil Clarity
The PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers in the McCarty 594 capture the essence of late ’50s humbuckers, enhanced by modern construction for focused mids, balanced lows and highs, and unmatched clarity. These pickups deliver classic humbucker warmth with stunning single-coil snap, thanks to their low turn windings, which provide a more vintage feel and lower output for an open, resonant tone.
10-Top Excellence
PRS’s reputation for exquisite maple tops is evident in the McCarty 594’s 10-Top designation, requiring a “clearly defined figure across the entire top.” This ensures the guitar is capped with a superlative piece of timber, featuring dazzling lines and grain patterns that set it apart from the rest.
