This PRS McCarty 594 10 Top w/Maple Neck in Black Gold Wraparound Burst weighs in at 8 lbs even. It features a stunning 10 Top made from a Single Piece of Quilted Maple. Finished in Black Gold Wraparound Burst, this is a beautiful guitar on all levels! The 594 is as though a Les Paul's layout and controls were dropped into a PRS body design. If a stunning guitar with a wealth of musical tones, and exceptional playability are your thing, then read on!
The McCarty 594 gets its name from the slightly elongated 24.594" scale length that the guitar is built with. This scale length feels very Gibson-esque. The strings are slinky, bendable, and easy on the fretting fingers. The 2 piece bridge and double volume, double tone, 3-way toggle layout is certainly leaning on Gibson's familiar layout. However, the tuning stability of the McCarty 594 is on a whole other level. PRS Guitars have engineered the foibles and shortcomings out of this type of design.
The 58/15 LT Humbuckers are our shop favorite offering from PRS. These "Low Turn" humbuckers are far more open, airy, and dynamic than any other pickup in the companies history. Each pickup gets its own volume and tone control and is accessible alone or in tandem via the 3-way pickup selector toggle. Each pickup is tappable via a push/pull tone control. This single guitar can go from Tele-type spank and cluck to fat, clean, and warm humbuckers to singing, soaring high gain leads.
The top of this guitar is made from carved and quilted maple and carries the PRS 10 Rating. Taking things to the next level is the insanely figured maple neck that features a nice subtle burst as well. The single-piece top offers a very unique look as opposed to how they usually book match their tops. It takes a fairly large piece of wood to pull this off!. The back of the guitar is made from mahogany. This tonewood combo is certainly one of the most popular these days as it has been since the early days of the electric guitar. The guitar is finished in Black Gold Wraparound Burst and it compliments the highly figured maple top perfectly. The artisans in the finishing department at PRS know how to read Maple better than anyone on the planet. They always seem to know what color(s) will bring out the best in a piece of wood.
The neck is made from exceptionally flamed maple and then treated with a matching burst. This neck is simply stunning. It is carved into the Pattern Vintage Neck Profile. The fingerboard is made from rosewood and carries a 10" fingerboard radius. Faux Bone binding on the fingerboard looks amazing and perfectly dressed fret ends feel amazing.
