Black-stained Beauty Meets Playable Art

Showcasing Sweetwater-selected tonewoods and premium appointments, this PRS Private Stock #12032 McCarty 594 is an exceptional instrument, both visually and sonically. This vintage-appointed solidbody electric guitar flaunts a head-turning, black-stained African mahogany top and body, embellished with eye-grabbing white grain fill, lending it a spotlight-stealing appearance and acoustic properties that are nothing short of magical. Of course, this McCarty 594 is as playable as it is amazing to look at, thanks to its Pattern Vintage neck, 24.594-inch scale length, and lightning-fast ebony fingerboard. Moreover, when you plug it in, this McCarty 594 delivers a vintage-inspired sound with incredible vocal-like clarity, thanks to its McCarty III pickups. You also get a PRS 2-piece bridge and Phase III non-locking tuners with Wing buttons, priming this guitar for pulse-pounding playability with zero tuning woes. Sparkle resin Original Bird fingerboard inlays, black Delrin side markers, natural reveal maple binding, maple pickup rings, and a beguiling high-gloss nitro finish put the perfect final touches on this Paul Reed Smith Private Stock #12032 McCarty 594.

Exclusive Private Stock appointments

Collectors seeking a one-of-a-kind combination of tonewoods, options, colors, inlays, pickups, and electronics will discover a veritable treasure trove in this Sweetwater-spec’d Private Stock #12032 McCarty 594. Featuring an eye-catching, black-stained African mahogany top and body with white grain fill, this McCarty 594 is a true scene-stealer. Its mahogany neck boasts a hand-filling Pattern Vintage carve, topped with a 22-fret ebony fingerboard, embellished with sparkle resin Original Bird inlays. Further adorned with stunning natural maple reveal binding, maple pickup rings, and a sleek, high-gloss nitro finish, this McCarty 594 flaunts an elegant aesthetic guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.

Ear-grabbing McCarty III pickups

This PRS Private Stock #12032 McCarty 594 is equipped with a pair of amazing McCarty III pickups. The third iteration of the pickups Paul Reed Smith first introduced in the 1990s, these Alnico II-loaded humbuckers leverage decades of hands-on research, as well as advancements in signal analysis and tuning technology. The result is a vintage-flavored sound with lots of warmth, harmonic complexity, and enough vocal-like clarity to keep you at the front of a busy mix. You also get a 3-way toggle pickup switch, two Volume knobs, and two push-pull-equipped Tone knobs, giving you access to a salmagundi of humbucker and single-coil textures.

Made to be played

It goes without saying that this Private Stock #12032 McCarty 594 is glorious to behold, but this solidbody electric guitar wasn’t built to be stared at — it was built to be played. Don’t believe us? Pick it up! This McCarty 594’s mahogany neck features PRS’s eminently comfortable Pattern Vintage shape, guaranteed to inspire your most creative playing. Though much like its Pattern profile, PRS’s Pattern Vintage carve is slightly thicker to fill your hand in just the right way. This McCarty 594 also sports a 10-inch-radius, 22-fret ebony fingerboard that’s primed for lightning-fast fretwork, and your strings will always feel silky smooth when playing and bending due to this guitar’s 24.594-inch scale length — the origin of the “594” in this McCarty 594’s model name.

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.
