Description
Lovies Guitars is excited to offer up this 2016 PRS McCarty 594 Electric Guitar with a McCarty Burst Flametop Finish! One of Paul Reed Smith’s most iconic models, the McCarty 594 is an instrument that seamlessly blends Paul’s reverence for the golden age of guitar building with his dedication to improving the art of guitar innovation. A traditional mahogany body is the foundation for the McCarty 594’s vintage-inspired tone, providing an exceptionally warm base tone that’s elevated with the crisp three-dimensional clarity of the maple top. Dual 58/15 LT pickups capture the low-output charm of a late ’50s humbucker, further enhanced with the TCI process and an almost single-coil level of string-to-string clarity. A chunky mahogany Pattern Vintage profile neck completes the vintage-meets-modern formula with a 10-inch radius rosewood fingerboard that unlocks PRS’ signature effortless playability up and down the neck. Top it all off with the rock-solid pairing of a PRS 2-piece bridge and PRS vintage-style tuners, and the McCarty 594 is definitive proof that the golden age of guitar building is still going strong in Stevensville, Maryland.
From their one-of-a-kind Private Stock custom creations to their SE line, PRS is wholeheartedly dedicated to the idea that superior tonewoods result in superior tone. This McCarty 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 594’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. This guitar is in excellent shape with light play wear, light hardware aging and some minor marks, rated at 9/10. All original 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.
