PRS McCarty 594 Electric Guitar - Dark Cherry Burst Reviews
The Paul Reed Smith McCarty 594 solidbody electric guitar provides a new take on their important McCarty line, gracefully blending elements of a fine vintage instrument with modern building processes and appointments. The McCarty 594's TCI-tuned 58/15 LT pickups offer up both bell-like humbucking and single-coil tones. PRS paid extra attention to the neck, designing an asymmetrical Pattern Vintage neck carve with a 24.594" scale length. And the updated bridge and vintage-style non-locking tuners further ensure you'll be enjoying the best the McCarty 594 has to offer.

Amazing
I"ve played a number of amazing instruments in my 50+ years of attempting to be a decent player. And over the years I have found and purchased some very nice guitars, but in my quest for well-crafted wood, I have finally met the instrument I have been looking for. Nothing short of a work of art with playability that is truly off the charts. Out of the box, the best sounding guitar I own.
Phenomenal
I've had this guitar for over a year now and I LOVE it. The only problem is that it makes my other electric guitars feel like cheap toys. The asymmetrical neck profile is extremely comfortable. The pickups absolutely sing. The coil taps essentially make it four guitars in one. It's the nicest guitar I've ever played and I can't recommend it enough. Just buy it.
PRS McCarty 594
This is the only guitar I need. Warm, responsive, clear, and articulate pickups through my Bogner Shiva, Two Rock Classic Reverb, and Hiwatt DR103 through a couple Marshall 4x12 cabinets using Celestion Creamback Speakers.
One Guitar to Rule Them All
This is simply the best guitar I have ever touched. I have several high end Gibson"s and Fenders and a couple other PRSs, but they don"t compare to this guitar. I"ll give some specifics.
1. Fit, finish, and overall quality is as close to perfection as I have ever seen. The maple top is dramatically striking. There is not an unplanned gap or finish run or rough fret on the guitar. Try finding a Gibson or Fender that meets that standard. They don"t exist.
2. 58/15 LT pickups are rich, clear, and articulate in bot full Humbucker and tapped single coil modes. The guitar doesn"t make a bad sound.
3. Playability is exceptional. The neck shape feels different, but embraceable. The frets and fret board are smooth and fast. The controls fall easily to hand while playing, like they are just where they should be.
4. Hardware is top notch. The timers are solid and smooth. The bridge has the most massive saddles I"ve ever seen. The result is a guitar that sustains longer than I do, while the body resonates in a pleasant, very musical way.
In short, I want to play this guitar more than any other guitar I"ve ever owned. I think that"s the ultimate test and compliment a guitar can have.
