Description
Lovies Guitars is excited to offer up this 2019 PRS McCarty 594 Single-Cut Electric Guitar with a Fire Red Burst 10 Top Finish! The McCarty 594 10-Top bottles the perfect representation of Paul Reed Smith’s 6-string philosophy: take all the best bits of golden-age guitar design, apply a lifetime’s worth of research and innovation, and then wrap it up with the world’s finest tonewoods. This guitar’s maple-capped mahogany body is a potent tonewood pairing that provides a tone that’s warm, punchy, and defined all at once. Two 58/15 LT pickups deliver a unique tone that captures the magic of a late-’50s humbucking pickup, then crank up the clarity to an almost single-coil level of definition. Finally, even the neck follows the vintage-meets-modern formula, with a stout piece of mahogany carved into a chunky asymmetrical Pattern Vintage profile and topped with a versatile 10-inch radius rosewood fingerboard. It all adds up to a world-class 6-string that’s sure to please vintage fanatics, performance-demanding modern players, and everyone else in between.
From the one-of-a-kind Private Stock custom creations to the SE line, PRS is wholeheartedly dedicated to the idea that superior tonewoods result in superior tone. This McCarty Single-cut 594 more than fulfills that philosophy with a tonewood combination that can trace its lineage all the way back to the early ’50s: maple-topped mahogany. The mahogany forms the core of this guitar’s body, adding heft and weight to your every note; in contrast, the maple top imparts an articulate edge that allows everything from single-note lines to roaring rhythm work to cut right through a band situation. It’s a formidable tonewood duo, and there’s a good reason why the vast majority of PRS guitars harness its sonic potential!
This guitar’s Pattern Vintage profile clocks in on the chunkier side of the spectrum, featuring a distinct asymmetrical profile that conforms to your grip from the base all the way to the neck joint. While it’s a thicker shape, it’s by no means clunky — guitarists across all styles have come to favor the Pattern Vintage profile for its comfortably full feel. Combined with the McCarty Single-cut 594 10-Top’s slightly shorter 24.594-inch scale length, this guitar brandishes a decidedly old-school flavor that’s all but guaranteed to resonate with vintage 6-string enthusiasts.
Rooted in the past with an eye toward the future, PRS 58/15 LT humbuckers perfectly capture the dual-coil magic of a late-’50s humbucker, then enhance it with all the benefits of modern construction. The result? A pickup with focused mids, balanced lows and highs, and unmatched clarity. In a nutshell, it’s a sound that’s equal parts classic humbucker warmth and stunning single-coil snap. What’s more, this iteration of the 58/15 sports an LT (low turn) wind for a slightly more vintage feel than the standard version, lowering the output to provide an open and resonant tone.
Curl, flame, quilt, and spalt: even in the early days of Paul Reed Smith’s guitar building, the company had a reputation for the sheer quality of figuring on their maple tops, with dazzling lines and grain patterns that make any plain top pale in comparison. Naturally, customers began to call in and request that their instruments be built with “a nice-looking top” — far too vague a term for the tonewood scientists in Stevensville, Maryland. Thus, the 10-Top designation was born: a lofty status that requires a “clearly defined figure across the entire top,” leaving no doubt that the guitar will arrive capped with a superlative piece of timber. This guitar is in great shape with hardware tarnish, several minor indents and marks and a tiny touch-up on the back, rated at 8.5/10. All original with upgraded strap buttons and free of any breaks, cracks or repairs. Included with this guitar is an original hard-shell case, a complimentary sample of Fret-Not, our preferred fretboard cleaner, check it out at fretnot.net and a complimentary Cooper Standard Fin guitar pick—our favorite for enhanced control and reduced movement! Thank you for considering this exceptional instrument from Lovies Guitars.
