Gorgeous 594 with the Clarity of P-90 Pickups
The Paul Reed Smith McCarty 594 Soapbar 10-Top provides a single-coil take on the popular 594 line, gracefully blending elements of a fine vintage instrument with modern building processes and show-stopping beauty. The McCarty 594 Soapbar 10-Top's P-90 pickups offer up bell-like single-coil tones with added midrange muscle. 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 Phase III locking tuners further ensure you'll be enjoying the best the McCarty 594 Soapbar 10-Top has to offer.

A historic pedigree
Ted McCarty had his hand in some of the most legendary designs in electric guitar history, including the original humbucking pickup. McCarty began mentoring Paul Smith, and the original Paul Reed Smith McCarty model debuted in the 1990s. Since that time, the popular model has been re-released with updated specs and continues to be a popular line for the company. This McCarty 594 Soapbar 10-Top represents the latest incarnation of that model, complete with updated pickups, a different neck feel, and a three-dimensional figured maple 10-Top.
P-90 clarity and punch
The sound of a single-coil P-90 pickup is one that has powered some of the most iconic tones of all time. And not many people have replicated that sweet bell-like tone to the extent Paul Reed Smith has. After the wild success of the company's vintage-leaning McCarty 594, fans of the instrument started calling for the old-school chime and midrange grit of his P-90s. Paul Smith was listening, and now you have this gorgeous McCarty 594 Soapbar 10-Top — all the exquisite beauty and detailed quality of PRS, with the identifiable voice of P-90 pickups.
Updated dimensions for effortless playability
Some of the least visible but most powerful features of the PRS McCarty 594 Soapbar 10-Top include a neck feel that maximizes your performance and comfort with an asymmetrical Pattern Vintage profile. Though much like their Pattern profile, the Pattern Vintage carve is slightly thicker to fill your hand in just the right way. And the strings will always feel silky smooth when playing and bending due to the guitar's 24.594" scale length, which is also where this model of McCarty gets its name. Finally, a "tweaked" version of the Phase III locking tuners transfers even more string energy to the guitar's neck.
