Sublime Private Stock McCarty Singlecut 594 Owls In Flight

PRS’s elite luthiers applied their world-class guitar-crafting expertise to this classic solidbody, and it shows in every inch of its masterful construction. It all starts with the tonewoods. For well over a decade, Paul Reed Smith has hoarded the very best woods for his Private Stock, stashing them away in the Vault, PRS’s repository of premium Private Stock tonewoods. This PRS Private Stock #8633 Owls In Flight McCarty Singlecut 594 features a lightweight, resonant swamp ash body, a gloriously figured curly maple top, a supremely playable Pattern Vintage ash neck capped by a silky-smooth ebony fingerboard bound with a delicate band of curly maple and graced with the Sweetwater signature Owls In Flight inlays. Spec’d with a pair of toneful 58/15 LT humbuckers and a chimey Narrow Single-coil in the middle position, the PRS Private Stock #8633 Owls In Flight McCarty Singlecut 594 is a sublime solidbody electric guitar that was clearly made to be treasured — and played — for generations.

Private Stock tonewoods for your playing (and viewing) pleasure

The PRS Private Stock Vault contains some of the finest tonewoods on the planet. Gorgeous wood sets for tops and backs. Toneful neck blanks. Exotic fingerboards. Handcraft a guitar with materials of this caliber, and you get an extraordinary instrument. When Sweetwater’s guitar experts visit The Vault, they can smell the wood, feel it, wet it to reveal the grain, and knock on it to hear its distinctive tone. This gives them a keen sense of the unique instruments we finally present to you. The Private Stock #8633 Owls In Flight McCarty Singlecut 594 is a breathtaking guitar with jaw-dropping visuals, off-the-charts playability, and eat-it-with-a-spoon tone.

Pattern Vintage profile neck for enhanced playability

One of the least obvious but most powerful features of this Private Stock guitar is a neck feel that maximizes your performance and comfort with an asymmetrical Pattern Vintage profile. Though much like their Pattern profile, PRS’s 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-inch signature McCarty scale length — the origin of the “594” in the model name.

Drink in this guitar’s rich, organic vintage voice

When you plug this guitar into your favorite amp, you will be enveloped in a rich, organic vintage tone. This is the warm and clear sonic elixir that propelled the original 58/15 pickups to the top of many guitarists’ favorite PAF-style humbucker lists. 58/15 LT pickups are based on that successful design, but they’re wound with fewer wire turns for even more clarity and nuance. This 594’s versatile two-humbucker setup is augmented by the inclusion of a PRS Narrow Single-coil in the middle position and three Volume controls — one for each pickup — plus a Master Tone, which gives you a staggering amount of tone-sculpting potential for any live gig or recording session. From jazz and fusion to blues, rock, and country; from chimey rhythm parts to blistering leads — and everything in between — the PRS Private Stock #8633 Owls In Flight McCarty Singlecut 594 delivers.

Nitro finish, for the look and feel of a classic

This Private Stock instrument wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes — standard back in the day — are significantly thinner than today’s polyurethane finishes, allowing the wood to breathe. Nitro finishes not only look amazing; they also enhance the instrument’s tonal qualities. This guitar has the look, feel, and sound of a lovingly cared-for classic — one that will only improve with age.
