A Singlecut McCarty 594 for the Masses

The Singlecut McCarty 594 is one of Paul Reed Smith's most popular models, and now, thanks to the PRS SE McCarty 594 Singlecut, it's finally accessible to the masses. This exquisite solidbody electric guitar boasts legendary PRS quality and playability. A resonant mahogany body and an eye-grabbing flame maple veneer top ensure a tone and look that's guaranteed to exceed your expectations. You get a comfortable Pattern Vintage neck carve with an easy-playing 10-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard, along with a longer 24.594-inch scale length for a feel that's like no other. The SE McCarty 594 Singlecut's 58/15 LT "S" pickups deliver vintage-tinged humbucking tones, while a 4-knob layout allows individual control of each pickup's volume and tone for maximum sonic versatility. You also get a high-quality PRS 2-piece bridge and PRS-designed tuners, plus attractive maple body binding and iconic PRS Birds fingerboard inlays. Finally, a durable, head-turning gloss poly finish ensures that the SE McCarty 594 Singlecut will look amazing for years to come.

Exceptional components

The SE McCarty 594 Singlecut boasts the top-shelf tonewoods PRS guitars are known for, including a resonant mahogany body and an eye-grabbing flame maple veneer top. Its mahogany neck features a comfortable asymmetrical Pattern Vintage profile, while its 22-fret, 10-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard facilitates effortless playability. And this guitar's strings will always feel silky smooth when playing and bending due to its 24.594-inch scale length, which is also where this model of McCarty gets its name.

PRS-designed 58/15 LT "S" humbucking pickups

The PRS SE McCarty 594 Singlecut's 58/15 LT "S" pickups balance vintage character with modern clarity to deliver the sweet yet articulate sound and rich harmonic overtones of vintage humbuckers. This is the warm and clear sonic elixir that propelled 58/15 LT "S" pickups to the top of many guitarists' favorite PAF-style pickup lists. Beyond that, the lower wire turns of 58/15 LT "S" pickups dish out clarity and nuance by the truckload. Featuring a meaty bridge pickup and neck pickup with the perfect amount of brightness, the 58/15 LT "S" set packs a real sonic punch, from chiming cleans to scorching leads. Guitarists at Sweetwater love these pickups. You will, too.

PRS quality in every guitar

All Paul Reed Smith guitars are designed for performance, right out of the case — and the SE McCarty 594 Singlecut is no exception. Constructed from high-quality tonewoods and components, PRS instruments carry on a commitment to quality that's been the brand's hallmark since 1985, when Paul Smith began crafting guitars for some of the most elite players in the world. In fact, you'll often see a PRS SE in the touring rigs of the most well-respected PRS artists in the world.

Rated 4/5

I am a guitar tech and this thing is AWESOME!

Been a guitar tech for 25 years and have worked on a lot of guitars. Great bang for buck. Looks great, feels great, sounds great and is a reasonable price. The pickups are great and only thing I am changing is the pickup rings to creme and the pot knobs to a more modern PRS knob look. Frets are great and action just needed a little adjusting. I have worked on thousands of guitars and I understand them well and see the best there is. But I see no better guitars for the money than these and Schecter IMO. I have owned plenty of 10 top PRS's and love them. But I don't like playing out or really owning super high end, price wise, guitars. These are not too expensive to where you worry about dinging them....that's half the battle.

You don't even have to play guitar to know that PRS instruments are in a league of their own. With their exquisitely figured tops and premium appointments, each PRS is a playable work of art. But it goes way deeper than the surface. Every time Paul visits Sweetwater, we get a deeper look at his amazing instruments. We've even hosted several PRS Custom Shop events, complete with Paul's personal Wood Library! Whether they're his most affordable SE electric guitars, top-quality acoustics, or amps, it's always amazing to see what PRS comes up with. What's more, we keep a ton of PRS guitars in our amazing Guitar Showroom, so the staff at Sweetwater can get hands on with all of their latest models. We'd love to tell you all about them.
